I had lipo of my lower abdomen done in April of 2011. I wore a compression garment for a couple of months after the surgery. When I went for a checkup with my doctor he said that everything was fine and that it would all smooth out. He advised that I continue to wear the compression garment. I did so but nothing improved. It has now been 2 and a half years since the surgery and my stomach looks the same (a mess). I am apprehensive to contact the doctor as I am not sure how he will respond.
