Often, during the first week after surgery, people retain a lot of extra water weight. Typically, sometime in the second week, the body starts to mobilize the fluid, and so, there's a lot of urine flow!That's the most likely possibility. If you have fever, or pain when you pee, however, that could indicate a urinary tract infection.All the best,
Yes, it is common to "mobilize your edema" after the first 3 days following surgery. This is especially true with liposuction as a lot of saline (salt water) is injected in order to minimize blood loss during the procedure. The Sodium in saline retains fluid, so you are now washing the sodium out of your body.#liposuction
As the swelling goes down, you will urinate a lot as your body tries to remove the excess fluid that it retained after surgery.
Congratulations on your procedure and thanksfor sharing your question. I can appreciate your concern.Frequent urination is common after liposuction due to the volume of fluid injected for removing the fat. Another possible reason is a urinary tract infection due to use of a foley catheter. Finally, make sure that your doctor isaware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care.Wishing you the best in your journey
Yes. That is the normal response to the swelling being eliminated. If you had a bladder catheter during the surgery there would also be a very small chance of a urinary tract infection, especially if there is also burning and/or your urine is cloudy.
