Post Surgical Edema
Contact your surgeon immediately. If he is not available I would recommend going to the emergency room.

Lower extremity edema after liposuction and breast augmentation
My recommendation is that, rather than going to a drugstore, call your plastic surgeon immediately and report what you are observing If he is not available, have him paged or go to an emergency room. This is not typical and you should not be treating her in the absence of guidance from her surgeon.

Leg swelling after lipo of abdomen and back
This could be serious. Elevate her legs on a pillow or two and remove the abdominal compression garmet until it's gone. Have her avoid salt and tell her to take a single aspirin tablet right now and every day until the swelling goes down. She should wear Jobst support hose while upright. Get them at the drugstore. If it gets worse bring it to her doctors attention immediately.
