Swelling to the Legs After Vaser Lipo, How Can I Tell if Enough Fat was Removed?

I had vaser lipo on my Kness, hips, inner and outer thighs 7 weeks ago and although I am pleased the middle part of my thigh has increased in size. My kness look brilliant along with my inner thigh but in the middle of them both I have put on over 1 cm and im not sure why. I dont know if all of the fat that was vasered is just sitting there as the Dr didnt remove it all or if I am still swollen? Please help?
