Worrieddownunder

I thought I would just quickly post that it has been about 8 weeks and I was absolutely freaking out at about 3 weeks that I looked like Tara Reid.. all hard, bumpy and wavy. But it has significantly improved since then. I wake up and my tummy is nice and smooth from laying down all night.. by the end of the day my tummy is a bit lumpy again due to sitting down at a desk and because the some swelling still present. But now I can see why panicking so early is a waste of time and energy.. I am feeling 110% better about my results and only hope they continue to improve.. So to all of you out there that may be scared that your results are far from what you were expecting, at least give it some time and see.. xx

I am in the same boat – I’m 3 weeks out and I don’t think swelling is that bad, I’m all lumpy and hard : ( I am scared that I will end up looking like Tara Reid, as it’s how I look now…

Hi there, I'm 3 weeks post op too and I am all lumpy and wavy over my abdomen too and quite hard around my belly button. I too am wondering if this is a normal healing process. I saw my dr today and he just said give it 4 months to see the results but that people 3 weeks out should be healed and not lumpy so it has scared me to death. He was very casual about it and now I am worried that I'm going to remain lumpy forever.. Have your lumps started to soften and smooth out?
