Asked By:Stephdavies in Laguna Niguel, CA

Have you ever heard of anyone that has lasting swelling after liposuction to their calves and ankles? I had lipo 15 years ago and my calves swell a half inch to an inch within hours of waking up everyday (but no swelling in my feet). When I wake up in the morning my calves look great and within hours they have swollen. Obviously it's gravity but it didn't happen before lipo. It's extremely frustrating, is there anything I can do? Has anyone seen this before?
