I had a tummy tuck and Lower body lift w/lipo. I am so pleased with everything except swelling. One leg is more swollen than the other. The dr. promises it will go down that it takes time. My surgery was July 23rd. Today is 8/14/10. Has anyone experienced the swelling problem?

Yes, over 4 months post op and I still swell. Doctor said it can take a full YEAR to completely stop. I sure hope it's sooner than that!

I had horrid swelling right after surgery. It's much better now, but my left leg swells more then my right, but thanks to being blessed with compression stockings it's much better. I can actually put my heels on now. I had a vertical thighplasty.

5 months out and yes, I still experience swelling. . . Some days are worse than others. My doctor says it could last up to a year. Be patient.
