Had lipo of the- triceps, medial and anterior thighs, knees, and ankles sweeping into lower calves with a modest amount of fat transferred to my breasts- this was done June 8, 17. Recovery is okay, but my lower abdomen is bloated/swollen- is this normal? Bowels are working, appetite is low, but I had a full tt with muscle repair on January 12, 17 (however, I had resumed working out, and swelling was not an issue for me any longer in my tummy). Why could this be happening?
