February 10, 2008. I hear about bad swelling & pain stories following Fraxel treatments - how do I prevent my face from swelling? I don't drink alcohol or smoke & I walk 4 miles every day & eat lots of fruits & vegetables.... Please advice me, I am beginning to be afraid. Thank you.
1 On average, body water can account for 50% of the total human body weight and it is significantly higher in newborns. Obesity decreases the percentage of water in the body.  Body water is regulated by hormones, including anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), aldosterone and a trial natriuretic peptide.
Since increased body fat percentages automatically yield lower water weight percentages, the highest water weight levels, 58 to 70 percent, are assigned to women with 4 to 20 percent body fat, and the lowest, 37 to 49 percent, are assigned to women 33 percent fat and above.
