A member asked:
I had smart-lipo 2 weeks ago on the top of my legs, just below my buttocks that looks like it was missed or could it be swelling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probable swelling: Liposuction is like acne treatment: things look worse before they get better. Give it time and the swelling should resolve. Make sure you keep all your follow up appts with your physician.
