Back and love handles swelling after liposuction. What's the best treatment to reduce the swelling and fluid build up?

Asked By:Zeus1971 in Lewisville, TX

I just had liposuction a week ago on the love handles, lower and mid back, and a tuck of the mid back loose skin rolls. I was given a Prednisone pack for the swelling but that lasted a week. I was wondering if there are any other oral or topical medications that will help reduce the swelling and fluid build up?
