5 september 2016 i had fat trasferred to my calves....last week i went for a touch up on 9 january 2017........its now been 10 days...one of my legs are so red i cannot sit because they hurt the only way i get some relief is when im laying down on bed. i am on antibiotics and cold compresser but it still swollen. Is this normal? feel stiff i know that is normal but the first time i didnt experience any pain only stiffness. i feel so uncomfortable when sitting and it hurts....cannot stand for long either.
