Asked By:Gleeo in Orange County, CA

Vaser Lipo on inner and outer thighs, flanks and upper arms 4 weeks ago. I have significant discomfort and swelling at my lower back and right thigh. Seroma drained every 3 to 5 days lower back area. 1. When compression on right leg entire back thigh throbs and feels like tight hard rope in inner and back of leg. 2. 2 separate areas that have bulging fat or something bubbling out into the skin creating a pouch on outer thigh and groin area. These areas are warm to touch and still painful.
