Asked By:EmilyOMG in Cornwall

I had a tummy tuck, Vaser Lipo and breast uplift and implants nearly three weeks ago. As the swelling reduces I can feel fluid in my tummy when I move when I take my body garment off for a shower. I’m already doing lymphmatic massage but this is worrying me. How can I get rid of the fluid and is it normal?
