Specifically my inner thighs are swelled and I can barely walk due to the pain, it´s been over ten days since the lipo, is this normal? Including pre an post pics. I think my PS took it too far with the inner thighs, I was not even interested in reducing my legs they were already skinny, but he insisted. Are the bruising and extreme pain I have in my thighs an indicator of a too agressive lipo in my inner thighs? Im 90lbs and 5 feet and regret this procedure. Thanks for your answers!
