Yes, this is normal, especially since fluid was added and the nerves for pain and temperature have not yet returned to normal from the medications used. If you have concerns, please call your surgeon.
Yes, the epinephrine can initially increase your heart rate and your blood pressure. Your cardiologist will be the one to determine if you should have liposuction or not.
Yes, it is expected to be swollen and lumpy at this early time in your healing. Do wear your compression garment faithfully, and do massages to help decrease the swelling. Avoid excess activities like running and aerobics for now.
