1 week post BBL. I am so swollen and uncomfortable! Any advice?

April 30, 2018
Asked By:Beach_chief in Jacksonville, NC

Hello, I got a BBL on the 26th, 1400cc was moved from my abdomen, sides and back to my butt. I am VERY swollen and I cannot find comfort any position I lay in, walking or sitting. I've been taking IB800mg along with my perscribed medications, using ice packs for 20mins alternating from my front to back. Each day is worse. Please any tips / advise to help with swelling, and sleeping positions that will maybe give me relief. Much appreciated!!
