Asked By:mizubi in New York, NY

I am eight days post BBL and breast implant surgery, and ever since, my hands and arms are extremely swollen. I have general swelling throughout my body due to surgery however i'm confused as to why my hands have swollen so much. Could this be caused by blood having been drawn from and IV having been entered into my hands and wrists?
