July 2, 2016
Asked By:Lolamorena1 in Tampa, FL

I have asked but I got to hear this community. I got the bags on my hips lipoed (that's a new word) one week ago. They are numb and maybe a bit swollen. The bruising is almost gone but the are the same size and stick out as far as they did before lipo. Is this normal at this stage? I am wearing my 1-stage garment every day. I am also worried that this bags on my hips will form again by sitting too much. My jobs is very sedentary. Can somebody give me insight on these two questions? Thanks!
