My penis and scrotum are extremely swollen after adbominal liposuction. Now it's 4 days after. The shaft of my penis is bulging and hanging around the tip. It's not really going down even though I've been massaging my penis downwards several times a day since day 2, as directed by my surgeon. I'm sleeping with my hips elevated. Now my surgeon is on a pre-scheduled vacation for two weeks. Any tips to help reduce the swelling, and is this really normal?
