Tags: flat, hard, normal
I had VASER Lipo done on my upper and lower stomach. It has now been three weeks, and my stomach is a lot flatter than before, and feels very hard, like I have something hard under the skin. My ab area is so hard I can't even pinch the skin. Is this normal? Is this the swelling, and will it get better?

Manually massaging the area will help to relax the skin and soft tissue. I would continue to wear your compression garment to help with the swelling.
