Is fluid normal in my back post lipo?

I had lipo in my abs, flanks, back and armpits. My PS placed me in a high back mid thigh compression garment. I feel fluid at times in my lower back and it gets tight in that area. Stretching helps a bit and when I take the garment off my skin feels relieved. Skin is plushy my skin bounces back when touched. I am only 7 days post op and hesitant to aspirate so quickly as there are pros/cons,prefer my lymphs to work. I had surgery abroad so followup is difficult so I appreciate any insight.
