Persistent post-liposuction edema over eyes after lying flat - is this permanently damaged lymphatic capillaries?

Exuberant445087
About 6 months ago I had airsculpt liposuction done around my midsection and fat grafting to my hips, and ever since then I can't sleep lying flat without waking up with very noticeable edema in the inner/upper part of my orbital areas, which can take up to a full 24 hours to resolve as long as I avoid lying flat. Over-eye swelling is not an issue I'd ever had prior to this procedure(not even while hung over). Should I be worried about permanently damaged lymphatic capillaries?
