I started having selling in my feet and ankles today and I'm five days post surgery. Should I be concerned? What do I need to do to alleviate selling? Walk more or elevate my feet,etc. I look nine months pregnant.

Answer: Swelling or legs and feet Hello,Tahnk you for your question and photos. It can be common for swelling to settle into the extremities with gravity post op, however asymmetry or any pain asscociated with that is concerning. Elevating your legs is a good first step but I recommend that you contact your Plastic Surgeon right away in order to rule out anything more serious.Take care

Answer: Swelling of legs and feet Thanks for your picture. Swelling after surgery can be due to fluid regulation in your legs. Elevating your legs helps but most importantly you need to inform and see your plastic surgeon ASA
