I was supposed to do tumescent lipo of the abdomen and flanks, but my doctor said that for my weight 130 pounds they can use only 2.5 liter of the tumescent fluid so it won't be enough to do the flanks at the same time. I read a lot about the lipo but I could not find any information, I feel ver disappointed because I really wanted to do everything at once and I didn't know that will be a problem.

You are a little early on in the post op period and all these ridges and lumps will settle down over the next 6 to 8 weeks. Just wait a bit, wear your pressure garment (as important as the surgery itself) and massage after a few weeks. Good Luck.
Thanks for your question. An abdominal binder would probably help your swelling and I would advise you to wear it for approximately 4 weeks. I would advise you to also contact your PS for his/her recommendations.
