Why does my stomach feel squishy like there's water inside after lipo? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. You may have swelling and fluid retention. Swelling in the first week after liposuction is quite common. It's best to follow your surgeons specific advice post-operatively. We typically have our patients wear compression garments on the areas we did liposuction to help the skin and underlying tissues re-adhere as well as reduce swelling. However, if you garments are too tight they can restrict lymphatic drainage and blood flow leading to more swelling and complications. I'd highly suggest you contact your surgeon's office regarding your plan. Best of luck!

hello SKJGBC You should visit of contact your PS about this concern for a physical examination. #stomach #post-op

Thank you for your question.
It is not unusual to have a lot of swelling and feeling of fluid inside at this stage. Usually it goes away over the next several days or weeks, unless you get a persistent fluid build up (Seroma). Please have your Plastic Surgeon examine you and reassure you. All The Best !
