I woke up and I was very swollen immediately after surgery. I looked as if I gained 15lbs or more and saw absolutely no results everything was bigger than before. 5 days later I still have some swelling in my extremities I put my feet up when I can. My surgeon used 6 bags of fluid. Is this normal?
Answer: Swelling after liposuction The amount tumescent fluid infiltrated combined with any IV fluids administered during the procedure can lead to temporary fluid overload and swelling in your whole body. The elevated cortisol levels after surgery also can cause fluid retention. Typically by post op day #3 your body will begin to get rid of the excess fluid through the kidneys.
