“Knee Pain After High Def Lipo! HELP! - Colorado Springs”

Not Sure
Spent: $8,100 in Colorado Springs, CO

Comments (1)

Posted 29 Dec 2010

I had my knees and saddle bag area done by Dr. M on 12/3/10. He's a fantastic surgeon and I know he has an immense amount of experience. I trusted and still do trust him immensely.

However, I wish that I would've been told the knees would be painful! I was told it would be like a work out. Well, this Friday is 4 weeks and I am up at 3am because the pain is still so great. I am stiff and my skin is sore to the touch.

I get shooting, hot pain and the inner knees are very very sensative. I am a bit frustrated right now because I have to wear my garment still and of course, it's impossible to wear jeans with this thing - just waaaay to tight.

I need to know if anyone else out there has had their knees done? If so, what was your experience with pain and healing? Am I normal or abnormal that almost 4 weeks in, I am still in a fair/great amount of pain and discomfort and my knees are quite swollen. Thanx for your input!

I do see a good difference, and I'm told again to wait 3 to 6 months. I'm not worried about waiting for the "look." I'm patient with that. What I am concerne about is if this pain will ever go away.

I didn't see any other questions to doctors on RealSelf about Smartlipo and Knee pain, just this Q&A about results and swelling from Smartlipo on the knees

as well as this Q&A about knee liposuction

You may want to touch base with another community member who posted about her painful knee liposuction

Good luck in your continued recovery and thank you for sharing your experience. Please keep us updated!
