Bruising after workouts 4 months post lipo surgery?

Asked By:kca33 in Tustin, CA

I had lipo done about 4 months ago on various parts of my body, including my inner thighs and inner knees. Most of the bruising and swelling has gone, but I'm noticing more bruising after intense workouts behind my knees. It seems to resolve after a day or two but then comes right back when I complete an extra long run, climb, or bike ride. Is this normal?
