Day 7 I noticed my lower abdomen was very swollen and looked like it was retaining a bunch of fluid. My doctors NP and I decided to drain the fluid with a srynge. After a few days I notice the puffiness was still there but I now have what looks to me like a second belly button. I notice a difference in my waist and flanks. However my inner thighs, upper back, upper & lower stomach does not look like I had Lipo. What can I do to correct the issues?
