Why is there a upper stomach bulge after liposuction?

I've seen Liposuction done on TV and it's no wonder you are swelling and in discomfort. When the surgeon has you under anesthetic then they insert tubes that suction out the fat and there is pushing and pulling of those tubes. Your surgeon should have told you what lays ahead of you as far as healing time. Be sure you keep in close contact with your surgeon and if you have any concerns you call that surgeon and make an appointment. It will take a few weeks for the bruising to go away and at least a week to 10 days for the swelling to go down, but be careful of infection. Remember, if you don't feel well, the swelling doesn't go down in those 10 days get to your surgeon immediately and if they can't take you right away go to the ER.
