A member asked:
I just had laser assisted lipo on my hips. they are not swollen much. however my upper thighs are pretty swollen!! is that a normal thing to happen?

Gravity: Your thighs are swollen because soft tissue fluid moves downwards due to gravity. Elevation or compression may help, if you aren't already doing this. Follow your doctor's postop directions. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
