I had liposuction of the inner thighs a week ago in Florida. I did not have lymphatic massages post surgery because I had to fly back home and thought I could do it myself. I was not successful draining any liquid out of the incisions. One inner thigh looks red/hard upon touch, I don't feel liquid inside it, it just feels hard and its painful. It also radiates heat.
