Introduction

After surgery, swelling and bruising will appear at the liposuction sites and the chest area. These symptoms typically subside gradually within 1–2 weeks, with the exact duration depending on individual physical conditions and postoperative care. Meanwhile, the transplanted fat tissue will gradually integrate with the surrounding tissue, edema will diminish progressively, and scars at the incision sites may either hypertrophy or fade away. The chest will then begin to show its basic contour.
