I had a tummy tuck and lipo on my arms, inner thighs, flanks and upper back 12 days ago. I can tell that I am swollen all over but the swelling has gotten better everywhere except my back, which is getting worse.
Should I be worried? Does it need to be drained? Is it normal to have this much swelling from lipo?

Just wondering do you wear a full back garment? It does help a lot with compression.

I had the lipo on my inner/outer thighs, knees, flanks, back, and upper thighs. I am still so swollen that I feel like a tree trunk, especially on my back. Do they have you wearing a one piece garment to aid in the swelling and shape? My back looks like yours as far as the swelling goes.

I had some swelling on my right side when I just saw the doctor. He said I had a seroma ?? swelling and liquid. He aspired 2 big syringes with liquid. The third one I screamed...Maybe this is what it is??
I would have a follow up and maybe he can take some of the liquid out??

I think you would benefit from a full compression garment that covered your entire back...."Veronique" makes nice ones...they are worth the money. I got a full body one which you would probably like seeing you had inner thighs done too I think they even make it with sleeves...I had it custom make for $325
Hi there, welcome and thanks for sharing your experience with us. Did your doctor mention how long you should expect swelling to last at all?
It does seem like a lot of swelling, then again, I'm not a doctor. It may be best for you to go back to him and have a follow-up.
