What Happens to Excess Fluid After Laser Lipo?

April 8, 2009
Asked By:Sasss in AZ in Phoenix, AZ

I had laser lipo on my abdomen/flanks 8 days ago and I'm nervous about excess fluid in my body. My doctor is known for performing VERY "Wet" surgeries and I had just enough drainage the 1st day to change my bandages once and never again. Prior to surgery, my doctor explained I had a terrific BMI and was an ideal candidate, but I don't see much difference and my tummy feels like jello and is squishy. If there is remaining fluid, what does the body do with it? Does the fluid harden and turn into fat or combine with tissues?
