Inner thigh lift swelling 14 months post op?

April 26, 2017
Asked By:TingFiona in Washington, WA

I'm almost 14 months post op from inner thigh lift surgery. Surgery went well & the surgeon did a great job. Swelling is still an issue. The swelling is from the tops of the ankles & down into the feet. It's decreased since surgery, but persistent. The worst part seems to be around my ankle bones & Achilles heel. By the end of the day when I press it leaves a mark. Pitting. Will this ever go away? I'm 55, exercise 5 times a week, at a good weight & my heart is in good condition.
