I had vaser lipo 3 months ago. The doctor took 5 liters out of my flanks and braline and stomach. I wasn't overweight but I am 5'10". Doctor was shocked at lack of bruising. But I swelled everywhere- my question is why do I feel and look so big? My legs are swollen, my butt is larger and numb (they didn't touch legs or butt). Shoulders and arms. Hands feet and face. I look puffy.... is this dependent swelling? Slow lymph? Normal edema? How long can I expect to be swollen?
