6 Days Post-op - No Results from Thigh Lipo. Is this Swelling?

December 19, 2010
Asked By:AZ8428 in Scottsdale, AZ

It's 6 dpo from outer thigh lipo under general anesthesia (no local used during procedure) and when I took my garment off today to shower, I looked the same as before. Could this just be swelling and the "pear" still go away?
