I had lipo on May 25th. I can tell you that it is a LOT more traumatic to the tissues both inside and on the surface than I expected. I was estatic with my results but there was a lot of bruising and not a lot of swelling. Also, I had to wrap my arms in compression foam for several weeks to minimize the bruising and swelling. I am not familiar with the procedure you are having done and can only speak about the lipo. I'm sure the degree of bruising and swelling depends also on the amount of fat removed. I had a lot of lipo done around the circumference of my upper arms and the more times that cannula is inserted, the more trauma you have. I'd listen to your doctor, enjoy the wedding and do the procedure afterward! Hope this helps and good luck!
