How long does the 'bruising' pain from lipo last?

I had lipo on my waist, back and inner thighs on the 8th of July and am still feeling tender and bruised today which is 11 days later. I remember the nurse telling me I'd be back to normal in 10 days so should I be concerned that I'm still so bruised and battered with no signs of it ebbing??

My inner thighs are probably almost back to normal. Bruising has almost gone and nearly no pain, but my torso still kills if my boyfriend so much as tries to hug me...

When I had lipo done on my inner thighs, I felt the brushing feeling for up to 2-3 weeks, even though the physical bruise was gone by the middle of week 2 . I was definitely more sore than I had anticipated. I am just about 2 months post procedure, and honestly, I'm back to all my normal things, however, on days that it is hot and humid, I am more swollen, so my legs tend to be a little sore.

Ahhh thank you, so I'm not abnormal! The bruising itself is fading but the pain is still present, and I wondered if that was normal. I am getting my lower inner thighs and knees done in a couple of weeks too and was hoping that at least my current areas would be back to normal before then. I did buy a compression suit in a smaller size today (because I've gone down a size now) and that actually seems to have helped heaps too.
