Numbness, swelling, and pain after lipo -- what could be causing this? (Photos)

The most important thing to determine is whether or not you have a blood clot in your deep calf veins. You need to see a doctor or E.R. for this.Long term, it may be damage to the lymphatics, damage to the veins, both, chronic fluid collection or everything. If you cannot see your surgeon, find another nearby experienced board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation.

I recommend following up with a Doctor today for a formal evaluation. While you may still have some swelling, you may have a seroma or infection, which needs an in-person evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer
