How long does it take for fluid retention to disappear after mini tummy tuck with contouring lipo & breast augmentation?

There will be at least some fluid retention in the areas operated upon for months after a mommy makeover. Total body fluid retention usually is eliminated within a couple of weeks.

Swelling is common and expected after surgery. To help it resolve more quickly closely follow your surgeons instructions for compression, activity levels, and diet. In many cases the majority of swelling will have resolved by six weeks. I encourage you to speak to your surgeons about your concerns.

While the majority of your swelling should resolve by 6 weeks, remember that it can take up to 6 months for you to see your final results. Continue watching your diet and wear a compression garment to help with the swelling. Daily weigh ins are useless at this point...just give your body time to heal! You are only a little over 2 weeks post op. Good luck!
