Hey Doctors ok so I had a Full Tummy tuck and bilateral flank lipo I'm very swollen as expected but why am I even swollen in my hips and upper thighs? I went to my doctors office today to have BB and lipo stitches removed and asked the nurse she told me basically gravity does this and it's normal... she asked if I was drinking a lot of water I told her yes and she said to slow down on the water intake and only drink when thirsty....... this totally confused me as this goes against I knew
