Is HIP swelling common after a full tummy tuck with muscle repair and NO lipo?

November 9, 2013
Asked By:AmyS33 in Buffalo, NY

I had a full tummy tuck 3 days ago (with muscle repair) and noticed that my hips are very swollen. I did NOT have lipo. All the research I am doing on message boards, I seem to find women who had their thighs swell. I can't seem to find hip swelling. Could this be due to the trauma? What about the garment pushing my skin down? Thank you!
