How long did your doctor say that you would be swollen?  I have heard that people's bodies react differently and their healing time can be different, but always be on the safe side and call your doctor.  

That traditional liposuction procedure looks so painful.  Can you tell me a little more about your experience?  

I have this fatty area on the side of my thighs that will not go away.  I have considered lipo, but can't decide on which procedure.  I am leaning toward Tumescent Liposuction , but haven't made up my mind.  You are supposed to be able to return to your normal activities after only 2 days.  My concern would be whether or not the results are as good as the results you see from the traditional lipo....

Really not enough information to answer, but if was ME that had that lipo, I'd touch base with my doctor who did it and ask. It's your right to have the information.
