I just got liposuction today (very small amount) and have felt no pain or discomfort. I didn't have a compression garment so I used a waist trainer for the time being. I was surprised to find that I have no draining of fluid at all (my incisions were left unstitched) however my pelvic area is very swollen. I'm worried that I might have squeezed all the fluid down to my pelvis by just compressing my abdomen. It definitely feels squishy like it's not just swollen, but I'm just not sure if this is normal.
