1 week ago I received liposuction of the inner thigh and knees. This is my second time around as I had the procedure done 7 years ago. New doctor said there was alot of scar tissue when he went in. Anyhow, I am still very swollen; the pressure is very painful, particularly around my knees.

Knees are 2x size than they were before procedure.
