Pins and needles sensation and edema after liposuction (post op 5 months) Should I be concerned?? (photo)

Asked By:terrasita1 in Scranton, PA

Hello! I had lower leg liposuction (WAL) for lipedema. I'm 5 months post-op. My right leg feels almost back to normal, however left leg has more edema and pins-and-needles feeling. They are the same size. Both legs still swell around ankles, but wondering why the one leg feels different? Should I be concerned about lymphedema? Is one leg sometimes slower to heal for some reason? Any input? My doctor is in Germany so I can only talk to him via email/photos. Thanks! I still get MLD 1x per week.
