Asked By:Lauryen828 in Los Angeles, CA

I am having a tummy tuck with liposuction and I continue to hear stories from women swelling several months after their procedures. Are there any precautionary measures I can take to prevent this. I realize the inflammation is the bodies natural response, but can I do anything to minimize the length of time this goes on?
