squishiness is swelling?

I went to my appointment yesterday and the doctor wasn't there so his assistant told me that the squishiness is swelling and will go away. that made me feel a little better, but she also told me I had liposuction done on my back? I had no bruising or pain in that area, so I don't think that is true, which makes it hard to believe what she says. the dr. and I never talked about this, but maybe I did? in 3 weeks I should finally be able to talk to the doctor who performed my surgery. I'm a little frustrated that I have to wait 6 weeks after surgery to finally talk to my doctor and get my questions answered.

Two week post op

I'm starting to feel like this surgery did nothing but put me through immense pain and leave a huge scar. The things I didn't like about my stomach are still there. I'm kind of stressing out about it. Did he not suck enough fat out? Did he not remove enough skin? The worse part about this is is that when I went to my first post op appointment, my doctor wasn't even available to answer any questions. I talked to his assistant, who took my drain out, and I thought the doctor would come in after, but he was too busy with another patient. I have another appointment this Thursday and again the doctor won't be there. What a disappointment :(.

mini tummy tuck

Two years have gone by and I finally had a mini tummy tuck with abdominal repair. My doctor also performed liposuction. However, I don't really notice a noticeable difference in fat reduction. Part of me even wonders if he did the liposuction, but I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. This surgery was expensive. It cost nearly $8000, but I had inherited a little bit of money after a close family member died, so I used that to justify my spending so much on myself. I had tried radio frequency treatments and the results were minimal, so I went to another doctor who seemed confident he could make my tummy look better. So far, I'm not sure. On the positive note, I am happy that the scar is low and I don't have an upper abdominal bulge. Even though it was a mini tummy tuck, my doctor still fixed the muscle above my belly button. I am also happy that my belly button does not look abnormally low, which was another thing I was worried about. So far, I am somewhat concerned with the results, but am trying not to stress soo much since it is still early on in the recovery. Perhaps it's the swelling, but the bottom of my belly is quite "squishy" especially when I bend over. I also have this super gnarly looking scar with is raised and wrinkly on the sides. I am really hoping this will flatten out and fade with time. Also, I have a lot of numbness, which is disconcerting, so that is another thing that I hope will be resolved. Only time will tell.
