Inner Thigh Lipo 10 days Post Op Bruising and Swelling Worse? (Photo)

May 25, 2015
Asked By:papergirl in San Francisco, CA

I'm 10 days post op inner thigh lipo and my bruising on right thigh is not abating. It actually looks worse. Is this normal to be this bad 10 days out? My left thigh did not bruise nearly as bad and seems to be healing fine. Also, it seems the contouring is getting more lumpy, particularly on the right. Can I expect this to smooth out over time (I'm massaging daily). Do my results look normal for 10 days post op or should I be concerned about the severe bruising on one leg and lumpy contour? Thank you.
