Hello. I had a tummy tuck in October 2023 so just over 6 months ago. I had sever skin folds across my stomach and although most have flattened there is one that is still here despite how much compression I used during the first 6 months as instructed. I no longer wear my comoresssion garment and now I wonder whether this fold will be permanent and I’m extremely self conscious about it.
