Fullness on upper inner thigh 5 weeks after fat grafting. Can this be swelling or dead fat that hasn't been absorbed? (Photo)

Asked By:PRNYC in Mont-louis, QC

I've had fat equalization to smooth my my entire inner thighs and fat grafting to both my upper inner thighs 5 weeks ago. This was to correct rippling from bad liposuction years ago. My upper right inner thigh now has extra fullness, almost bag like. It feels smooth and pliable to touch like regular fat. I'm afraid the doctor over grafted me by assuming some fat was going to die, but none did. Is it possible that 5 weeks post-op the fullness I'm feeling is dead fat that hasn't yet left?
