Still retaining water seven weeks after Liposuction. Is this normal?

bg1973
It's been seven weeks since I had liposuction on my chin and arms. I've been retaining water in my abdomen and legs ever since surgery. I'm not eating salt and have been running three to four times a week. My arms have hardly any swelling but my lower body is still retaining enough that I feel it in my clothes. Is this still normal seven weeks post surgery?
