Asked By:Durhammom

Hi I had full TT and lipo on flank areas 3 weeks ago. Today I have noticed that the right side of my abdomen is more swollen than the left side,and I am having a horrid uncomfortable pain in my rib area the right side when I wear my compression garment/corset. Is this normal or should I make an appointment to see my surgeon.
