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.
In a newborn infant, this may be as high as 79 percent of the body weight, but it progressively decreases from birth to old age, most of the decrease occurring during the first 10 years of life. Also, obesity decreases the percentage of water in the body, sometimes to as low as 45 percent.
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.
