I had Laser Lipo 3 weeks ago. I was not overweight ( I weighed 126lbs) but wanted a smoother contour without the annoying lovehandles. I expected the lumps and bumps, but I have a swollen buldge above my bellybutton that stings and is very tender to the touch. My Doctor told me at my one week checkup that everything looked normal, but now that 3 weeks have gone by, Its really bothering me and I don't know if its normal or a seroma. I don't go back for two more weeks. I feel like my belly looked better before the procedure. Can anyone tell by the photos if its normal or should I be concerned/

3.5 week update:
Today, my right side is more swollen than the left side and it looks like Im leaning when I stand.. Its looks really funny in the mirror. I hate what my stomach looks like right now. I know it takes time, time, time...... my lumpy stomach is starting to turn yellowey green I guess from bruising. I think that's a good sign but DAMN my tummy looks gross. it feels like there's little soft ping pong balls all aound my belly button. God, will I look normal again?
I keep trying to stay positive... it makes me feel better when I read about other people having issues with the lumps and reading that its pretty common and usually resolves itself. For anyone considering this procedure, its definately not a quick fix. I'm gonna try to post a good monthly photo so people can see how long it takes for your body to transform, (although everyone heals differently) and hopefully mine heals like I want it to & I get a bangin body... what I paid for. Dr. Mountcastle you had better not make me hate you:) don't let me down, man. fingers crossed!

1 month update...
Well I'm still swollen and lumpy... but I'm feeling a little better about my stomach. The buldge above my belly button had got better, but its still hard. trying to massage for 15 minutes every night. My right side is still bigger than my left side and thats what's bothering me the most right now. I hope I'm not going to have uneven hips. Not sore or tender anymore. Still wearing my garment 24/7. I feel more comfortable with it on. I start to get sore if I don't wear it. Is it true one side will swell if that's the side you sleep on? I do favor my right side for sleeping so trying to sleep on my left.
