Should my hips, legs, and feet be swollen on day 10 post tummy tuck and lipo of back and flanks? (Photos)

marlow01
I had tummy tuck and lipo of back and flanks almost two weeks ago. I am having a lot of swelling in my hips to my feet. I am wearing a compression garment as well as a binder of it. I still have my drain in and am wearing compression socks. Yesterday my right leg was double the size of my left leg. Today they are the same size. I woke up to both my arms hurting like they fell asleep and after being awake and mobile my right arm still feels weird. Is this normal?
