I am 4 weeks post op from thigh lipo, and all of my jeans fit the same as they did before surgery, just as tight in the thighs. The bruising just now has went away, and I'm still wearing my garment. My Q: do thighs usually swell more than other areas treated by lipo? I know I should be seeing some results by now, so I am starting to become concerned. Dr. said he removed a total of 1 liter from legs, but maybe it was mostly tumescent fluid that he was counting.
