Redness/hardness in inner thigh post Smart Lipo: is it a seroma or possibly a hematoma? (photos)

July 16, 2018
Asked By:pretty1cali in San Jose, CA

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. I contacted my doctors nurse, and she hasn't responded yet (its been 24 hrs). I just want to know what it potentially may be?
