Pain and tightness after fat grafting to hip?

K12885
I'm a little over 48 hours post op from lipo from abdomen and flanks with fat transfer to hips only. My lipo areas feel great with very little pain but my fat grafted areas feel incredibly tight and make it a bit hard to move around. How long should I expect this pain and what can I do for the tightness if anything?
