Title: Swelling and incision area leakage.
Post by: johns567 on November 29, 2014, 11:24:49 PM
Hi. Just got my 2nd resurfacing done on 11/24. First one was just under a year ago and recovered with no problems. This time I notice more swelling in my leg than previously and have some drainage from the incision area as well that I never experienced before. My doc says it is fine.  Any body else have different experiences like this post surgery or see greater swelling?

I had much more swelling and drainage the first time around. Every resurfacing is different. If the surgeon says it's all right, then it's probably fine. Just ice and exercise, and it will improve.
