2 weeks post-op: Swollen lymph nodes

[leo13gr]

Dear All,

I had the procedure exactly two weeks ago with Mr Levick. Overall I am very very happy--he seems to have done a great job!

Having said that though, and although I do recognise that it's still too early, can I just ask: I seem to have a set of swollen and tender-ish lymph nodes in either side running from the incision sites down to the outer part of my chest. Is that normal? Has any of you experienced that too? I did ask Mr Levick and he sounded very reassuring, but for some reasons I've always had very negative feelings towards the idea of swollen lymph nodes.

Thank you in advance,

Leo

I think its pretty normal after surgery

Post liposuction swollen lymph nodes are pretty common.. Don't worry.. Give it time it'll heal and correct itself.. Just listen to your surgeon and everything will work out just fine.. I've had my fair share of complications post op but most of it worked out and some of it is still working out gradually.. Being patient is very important..
