Does Liposuction in One Area Cause Swelling in Another?

June 1, 2010
Asked By:QTPie05 in South Korea

I had liposuction one week ago on my abdomen and back. Of course my stomach has swelling, but I've noticed that my thighs and calves are much thicker now. Does liposuction of the abdomen and back cause swelling in the legs?
