Thank you for your question. It is possible to have swelling this far out from your tummy tuck and lipo and it normally does affect the vaginal opening and inner labia as these tissues are thinner and more susceptible to significant swelling.

There isn't much you can do to decrease drainage. It usually decreases with time. There is usually a limit, however, as to how long the drains stay in even if they are continuing to drain. Check with your surgeon.
That's an excellent question. Visceral fat is something that can not be treated and when present it takes away from the aesthetic outcome. A consultation is required before a definitive answer can be given. Specifically, I would like to know if you have been pregnant, how your abdomen looks when...
