Swelling after breast reduction and lipo.

August 26, 2016
Asked By:katyrmiller in Oregon, MO

I'm six weeks post op after my breast reduction and my sides, near the incision that runs under my arms, are super sore and swollen still. My PS did lipo my sides/back area in addition to the reduction. When will that swelling resolve? I still can't put my arms down without some discomfort.
