Will this tumescent fluid that has been left behind after 9 days dissolve or reabsorb on its own?

Asked By:SeptRain24 in Philadelphia, PA

i have traveled to philadelphia for abdominal liposuction 9 days ago, the incisions were left open and 2 drain tubes were inserted and then removed 2 days later (no stitches at all) & my incisions are closed. during my procedure the surgeon had to add more fluid to the left side due to feeling pain during the suctioning, which is exactly where the fluid is. it feels like i am tapping on a small water balloon can the body get rid of this on its own?... "i am scared!!!!"
