Calf swelling 15 years after lipo, is there anything that can be done? Has anyone seen this before?

Stephdavies
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?
