fluid build-up post breast reduction surgery

Answer 1

I had abdominal surgery about 2 months ago and continue to have fluid buildup in my upper abdomin. For the first month I had to have it drained every other week, then 3 weeks inbetween, and now 1 month. Though I would love to say it doesn't go on forever, it does seem to. I do not do nearly the exercise you do and I still have problems, but the doctor keeps saying it's not a problem health wise. Keep having the fluid drained and bind tightly 24x7. My doctor said to take short showers at lower temperatures and no lifting. Walk for exercise but no yard work. It won't fix it, but it will slow the build up.
