I am 5'5, 123lbs and a size 2. I had a full TT w/lipo, muscle repair 13 days ago. At my post op my PS said I had a bleed during surgery on my left side where the lipo was performed which is why it is really swollen, hard as a rock, painful & has redness that is working it's way downward. I feel fine besides the pain from the bleed but was told it would take longer to recover. Idea's on how long? The redness has subsided but the swelling & hardness has not changed. Will scar go down on L side?
