5 weeks post op Tummy Tuck, Why am I swollen all the time?

July 31, 2014
Asked By:Rae123 in Maryland, MD

I am 5 wks post op and I understand that is still early but a lot of women are posting that they have no swelling when they wake up and then by the end of the day they are in swell hell. Is it normal that I wake up swollen? I had an extended tummy tuck and some lipo and my belly and vagina and love handles are swollen when I wake up and then swell more throughout the day. Is this normal?
