2 weeks post op Liposuction, what is the hardness in inner thighs and knees? Is this normal?

Asked By:AlwaysImproving. in Edina, MN

I am 2 weeks post liposuction and notice that it feels hard under the skin spanning the entire area that was liposuctioned. Is this normal? What causes this? I feel that my legs are the same size as they were before with very little change in contour. I am only 2 weeks out, should I be worried?
