I am now 4 wks and 1 day post-op. Time sure did fly by! I have been good for the most part, still sore and swollen. I started back at work yesterday. It went OK...I was so swollen when I got home(10 hrs on my feet). I can't wait for all the swelling to go away! I work in a factory and it is VERY hot in there.My garments and binders are making it real uncomfortable! I am swelling(I hope thats what it is) above my bb and I feel so flat below the bb. Is this normal? Anyone else ever have this problem?? I hope all goes away soon . I thaught that most of this would be gone by now ugh! I am still drinking lots and lots of water! Don't know what to do! I almost had a breakdown last night. I started to ??? myself on why I did this. I wasn't this big above my BB. I know I should be patient..but really 4 weeks later??? I still have some spots on my side and flanks that need to smooth out(from lipo). My scars are healing nicely. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SWELLING TO GO AWAY!!!!! Honestly I wish I would have done this in the fall so I would have had all the winter months to heal! Enough venting...hope everyone is Healing Well!

I have that same issue with my TT above the BB it gets swollen and even when its not it sticks out. Did you have muscle repair also? I think that it either has to do with the muscles or its a pocket of fat that's what I have been reading all over the this site. I will bring it up at my next pre op. BTW I am 5 weeks post op.

Hi..Sorry it took so long to respond. I love Dr Bayne. I am very pleased with the results.It is a long recovery but well worth it. I still swell sometimes...it just depends on what I eat and do that day. My scars are slowly fading away! I still message them (cocoa butter oil).I hope that you are doing well and that you love your end results! Just remember that it does take a while to heal and feel normal.
