Asked By:Jmiller123

I have new, light bruising and swelling at end of and above tt incision line where I had lipo at 5 weeks post op. I had hardly any swelling for 3-4 weeks and my bruising cleared in 1 week. However i still have pain on flanks when i massage or try to sleep on sides and it kind of burns. I just noticed that i now have some new bruising and swelling on flanks. Not a lot but noticeable. Is this normal or could it be a seroma on both sides? Any suggestions to help dissipate it?
