After liposuction surgery, a small drainage tube may be inserted at the surgical site and this will be removed within a few days after surgery. Bruising and swelling are common after liposuction but usually subside within three weeks. Some minor swelling may last for up to six months. Patients will need to wear a special elastic garment similar to a girdle for several weeks as this will help to control swelling and support the new contours of your body. Patients may also experience some discomfort, burning, itching or temporary numbness. Discomfort can be controlled with prescribed medication. Significant improvement may be seen within four to six weeks after the liposuction procedure, with the final result apparent after about three months.
