Inner thigh liposuction recovery - are there treatments that can reduce the puffiness?

g2157
I had inner thigh lipo 8mo ago. The day after, my thighs were slim (what I expected result to be) and I wore compression for a few mo & did lymphatic massages. Weeks later my upper inner thigh started to puff out and lower inner thigh stayed slim. On my surgeon’s recc I massaged nodules under the skin for a few mo, but the puffiness of the area hasn’t gone away (nodules have). My surgeon said the skin likely did not retract. Are there treatments that can reduce the puffiness like RF?
