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?
