I Had Smart Lipo Done on my Upper and Lower Abs and Flanks on May 5. When Will Things Improve?

I had Smart Lipo done on my upper and lower abs and flanks on May 5. I wore my garment for 2 weeks, Doc said it was okay. I can see I got a little smaller but it is still not flat and some days I feel larger than others. During the morning I think it has been imporving but then during the day I feel like my fat hangs there. I dont have any lumps that I notice but I do feel hardness in some areas in my lower abs. The lower stomach feels soft like fat, is this swelling? Can I expect to be flat?

SmartLipo and results!

It can take a few weeks to months before u see the final results after Smart lipo procedure. it is recommended that u follow ur surgeon's advise and make sure ure wearing your garment regularly. u can massage the areas if u like. Im not sure when ure scheduled for your follow up visits but I would definitely go back to see your doctor in 6-8 weeks after the procedure.
