Still way swollen 8 weeks post tummy tuck? Help (Photo)

martybanks33
Had a tt 8 weeks ago and I wear my compression garmet 24/7, but my swelling never cycles. It honestly looks the same 24/7. I have the healthiest diet of anyone I know. No carbs, minimal salt, and only water. I HAVE LOST WEIGHT since surgery and still have zero shape. I received muscle repair, and Lipo. I don’t believe it is visceral fat as when I lay down it caves in. Did mr fail? Is it possible it’s swelling that is horrible 24/7? Dr just says lymphedema and he doesn’t suspect a seroma
