Should I be worried about swollen legs after arms and flank lipo?

JforJenn
I had lipo for outer and inner thighs done in May 2018 and had arms and flank done on 18th October 2018. Right after my second lipo my thighs were so swollen. Now they look better but still swollen than the day before I had my second lipo done. My calves also feel tight and heavy. I also feel pain when I pressed on outer thighs where I had lipo done (around IT Band area). Should I be worried about it? Note that I haven't worn my compression garment for legs since the beginning of October.
