Can Steam Room And Diuretics Be Used To Bring Down The Swelling Post Plastic Surgery?
I had major plastic surgery 5.5 weeks ago - upper and lower bleph plus lipo to reduce breasts and fat after many BRACA prophylactic mastectomy surgeries. (That is a mouthful.) The swelling is still pretty bad, esp by end of week when I have been sitting at my job, etc. How soon after plastic surgery is the steam room ok to detox and reduce swelling? And what about diuretics if it is really bad? I know it takes 4-6 months for the body swelling to really go down. Thank you! And my surgery outcome is already beautiful.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may not make in difference in what type of room you are working hot or cold, if something might have gone wrong with surgical wound then that will be the matter of concern so why the swelling is not reducing, and better to rule out this, hope this information helps, take care
