I had a full tummy tuck two years ago and had liposuction on my lower abdomen 8 weeks ago. I have gained about 10lb on the scale since the liposuction. The increase started one week post op and continues to increase day by day despite not increasing my calorie intake. I can feel fluid right across my entire stomach. My whole body feels slightly swollen as well. Is this normal during the healing process?
