Lipo in inner thigh - too much pain. I can't walk because of it. It's been 10 days. Is it normal? (Regret lipo) (Photo)

Thank you for your pictures.  I am sorry to hear about your experience.  You have a lot swelling and bruising.  I would wait 3 months to see the final result.  Inner thigh liposuction must be approach cautiously not to produce contour deformity.

Dear Petitegirl, sorry for your experience.  Your extreme pain is unusual. Please see your Plastic Surgeon regarding pain. Bruising appears normal 5 days after liposuction.  Good Luck.

The photograph demonstrates more than the average amount of bruising. Most patients report minimal discomfort after liposuction.

Bruising and swelling are very common areas which are liposuctioned. Your discomfort may be normal, but it is impossible to comment on it without an examination. It is best to contact your plastic surgeon.

Excessive pain and bruising is not common after liposuction if performed with the proper technique using the tumescent method and small cannulas.  I suggest seeing your treating physician sooner than later to ensure there is no hematoma or any infection.  You may just be excessively bruised and need laser or ultrasound/massage to help this improve more quickly. I suggest using Arnika Forte as well. Best, Dr. Emer.

Swelling and bruising are common in any area treated by liposuction. As for your discomfort it is difficult to assess your concerns without an exam. Best to see your doctor.
