I had liposuction 14 days ago. Both inner and outer thighs. My bmi is perfect. And I'm extremely petite. But needed a bit on the outer and inner thigh impossible to work off spots. 14 days later and my inner thigh (tendon?) feels incredibly tight and painful if I attempt a squat or any movements requiring those tendons. What do I need to do to fix this? Time? Muscle relaxer?
Answer: Post surgery pain What you are experiencing is fairly typical for the liposuction of the lower extremities. Ask your surgeon re: his or her post op protocol, but you could try taking ibuprofen, and alternating heat and ice. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Post Op Liposuction Healing after plastic surgery is a process and the earlier parts are the most challenging. Emotions are a big part of the process as well. Best is to discuss specifically with the operating surgeon so that he /she can take a look.

Answer: What would you suggest I do? I lost 84 pounds thus far. From 280 to 194 in 8 months. without posting any photos and no in person examination very hard to help. Best to see your surgeon to treat this issue. You might have swelling, or injury to deeper tissues. And a possible sensory cutaneous nerve pain syndrome???

Answer: Tightness after liposuction Most patients experience significant swelling and even firmness of soft tissues after liposuction. This resolves with compression, activity restrictions, massage, and time. Usually it takes more than 14 days if you have a significant problem. A secondary issue could be a factor here. You could have an issue with a thrombus in a vein. If that is the case then you may need further evaluation and treatment. I would recommend that he contact your and get in to see them soon to make sure this is just routine postoperative swelling and discomfort.

Answer: I had liposuction 14 days ago. And now my inner thigh (tendon?) feels incredibly tight and painful. Thank you for your question, and I am sorry that you are dealing with this tightness. I would recommend you see your surgeon for an in-person evaluation. It sounds, most likely, like a musculoskeletal issue, with essentially a "cramping" of the muscle/tendon. This could be treated with massage, myofascial release techniques, or muscle relaxants in addition to drinking lots water with electrolytes (coconut water for example).
