Posted under MiraDry q&a

Day 5 after my first miraDry treatment and swelling / fluid is all over my torso (penile edema)

Moe94
I did the Miradry for the first time 5 days ago - everything went well. From day 3 the swelling / fluid started on my chest traveling to my abdomen / waist, now it's around my penis (penile edema) I know this to do with the gravity, but is it normal for it to go all the way down? I apply ice on all swollen areas and take ibuprofen (once a day) and bromelain (twice a day) I'm really worried. I did the treatment in a city 500km away from home. I would appreciate your advises doctors.
