I had a tummy tuck without lipo and breast lift with silicone implants 10 days ago. 1 week out of surgery I had my drains removed and my PS put my compression garmet on real tight and instructed me to do so to prevent fluid build up. Ever since then I feel like my blood flow is not as great to my legs and arms. Is this possible? I don't think its blood clots as I am not in pain and everything is symetrical feelings....kind of feels like my blood pressure is high in my limbs.
