I am experiencing serious bloating 2 months after liposuction. What do I do? (Photo)

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest speaking to your surgeon.  Often swelling and change in hormones are common after surgery and it may be best for you to get on some diuretics and see a hormonoal doctor at this time to optimize the results.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

If you are referring to intra-abdominal fullness two months after liposuction I doubt the related. Shortly after liposuction bowel motility may decrease if narcotics are used for pain. This can create a sensation of abdominal fullness.

Brian Widenhouse, MD · Answer

Follow up with your surgeon. You want to make sure the bloating is not caused by fluid collection underneath the skin.

George Commons, MD (retired) · Answer

Swelling is best managed by strict adherence to a low salt diet.   Also avoiding excessive activity early in recovery helps.   Remember swelling talks time to subside just as healing takes time.    Healing takes 6 to 12 months to mature.  My Best,  Dr Commons
