Can cooking soon after liposuction swell you? If so how long should I stay away from heat/cooking?

Asked By:Laureely in Miami, FL

The reason for my question is, I was told that I should stay away from cooking for a few weeks because the liquid that is pumped into a patient during lipo surgery cause swelling with heat. Is that true?
