What Do Swelling And Lumps In The Right Leg Indicate?
I had surgery on March 8 and still have swelling in the right leg. Inside knee area and halfway up my leg. There are hard lumps in the area, very tender, from liposuction. Even a small amount of walking cause swelling to the point I can hardly bend my leg at that knee. Is this normal after 10 days? Should I try rubbing these knots out?

Hello,
There are various reasons for swelling in the operated leg after liposuction as hematoma, infection or others.
Though primary relief with ice application and keeping leg elevated will give good relief, I strongly recommend calling your surgeon`s office for best assistance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
