Asked By:Poppyclare in Ukiah, CA

Had a full tummy tuck two years ago. I then had liposuction to my lower abdomen 9 weeks ago and have a huge amount of swelling. I've attached a comparison picture, left picture is one week after lipo, right pic is 9 weeks after and the swelling continues to get worse. My surgeons office don't seem concerned, but I don't think this looks normal? Surely the Swelling should be decreasing now?
