Lipo of inner/outer thighs 12/2015. Apparently also my back area and rib cage too. Didn't expect that. Notice the long marks? I can feel the indention on the longer marks. The darker area is one big indention. It seems as though they will look like stretch marks. I didn't have any marks at all before. Will massaging help these issues?

Answer: Did you have ultrasonically or laser assisted liposuction?
Swelling is significant throughout any body area after liposuction. Your swelling may be more on one side or it may resolve more quickly on one side and cause it to look asymmetric as you heal. It is definitely too early to worry.
Because the effects of gravity on the movement of fluid within the tissues liposuction of the legs can be much more problematic is most patients spent time standing during the day. Compressive garments help but elevation of the limb is the best way to address the swelling.
Thank you for your question.Facial Liposuction is usually not preferred in your situation as the long term results are disappointing. You may explore Buccal Fat Pad excision further as this works quite well in selected situations.All The Best.
