Hello dear community. I’m 8 days post op of Lipo for fat grafting taken from inner thighs(25 ml each), no compression needed, because of little amount, my doc said. Since Friday there is this redness in my bruise. It itches and hurts while walking or touching it. My bruise is better, but the redness is still the same. Infection? Allergic? Fat necrosis? My doctor said from the pictures it’s normal, but I’m not sure...I had Lipo before and never experienced this. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you
