Asked By:7000anon in Winnipeg, MB

I'm 5 days post lipo of my abdomin. I have minor bruising around my ribs, but my pubic area is totally black, like all the blood has pooled there. I am so swollen I can't put my jeans on. I can get up and move around, but if I'm up for any length of time the swelling gets much worse. Is this normal
