Follow-up: What might be the cause of this chronic swelling after liposuction? (Photos)

What can be the cause of swelling 9 months post thighs liposuction? They wont get smaller. I was told that maybe it's because I didn't do MLD; also the compression garment wasn't really at my size - Echo Doppler was negative - what are the symptom of scar tissue/lymphedema ?
