Is it normal to experience bruising and swelling around the treated area after subcision?

Doctor's Answer

Yes, some swelling and bruising may be expected after subcision.

Swelling generally takes a couple of days to subside while the bruising may take up to 2 weeks.

Medications can also be prescribed by your treating physician if the swelling and bruising are uncomfortable/tender, and to aid in the swelling post-procedure.
