How does the body rid itself of swelling after surgery?
Penny Lane1Jan 10, 2018
Procedures like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation, it’s indicated that swelling occurs but that the excess fluid will be absorbed by the body. What does the body actually do to break it down? How does the body release it? Do we sweat more than usual? Do we urinate more often? Our bodies are incredible for sure, I’m curious to know.
