I had a BBL.4 weeks ago. They took fat from my lower back and love handles. Swelling in those areas has gone down. However, swelling in my legs and feet has not. Is it normal to have so much swelling in an area that was not treated? The swelling increases throughout the day and can get painful from the tightness.
Answer: BBL RECOVERY Lower extremity swelling can happen and may be prolonged due to different factors. Check with your doctor first. Things to consider: Make sure your garment isn’t too tight around your thighs. Elevate your legs and feet on pillows when resting, wear compression stockings over your feel, ankles, and calves; avoid prolonged periods of standing, consider Lasix to help mobilize excess edema.

Answer: Swelling in legs and feet 4 weeks after BBL. Is this normal? Thanks for your question. There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery. The lateer phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens. It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient.

Answer: Swelling in feet after liposuction what you describe is not a typical it. Some people are more prone to swelling than others. If you have any propensity for swelling normally then the previous liposuction it can aggravate this. Leg elevations are the only really effective means. A proper leg elevation that means your foot is above your heart. Compression stockings to me also help. Expect this to slowly improve over the next few months. A low sodium diet may help as well.
