I had calf and ankle liposuction 10.5 weeks ago and I’m starting to get disheartened by my results. Is this normal? (Photo)

Asked By:grlwithedrgntattoo in Los Angeles, CA

I had calf/ankle Lipo a little over ten weeks ago and so far my recovery has been less than perfect. I couldn’t walk on my left leg for almost 2 wks, i have a persistent seroma on my right leg that won’t go away (even with frequent aspirations) & I’ve developed bad discoloration which cover the backs of both of my calves. The doctor says they’re iron deposits that he would prescribe lightening cream for if it didn’t subside. It hasn’t gotten better since I’ve had them. Is this normal?
