I had smart lipo done on my upper and lower stomach on may 2nd I also have the burning in the center of my stomach around the belly button and cannot stand anything touching it. I have a lot of swelling and it has been more painful than I expected and I have a hard lump which is like a half moon above my pubic bone that doesnt seem to get smaller it almost looks like an italian sausage under the skin horizontally. I know my stomach looks smaller but uneven my belly button isnt centered like it was and it looks like a horizonatal slit instead of a belly button. The skin looks dimpled like cellulite which i never had and it is very uneven and in the last couple days feel almost bigger than i did the first three weeks and im going into my forth week. I have also had more pain the last couple days and i am a little confused since i was starting to feel better. I actually had to take vicoden before i went to bed last night and i only took it a few days after the surgery. I made an appt with the doctor that did the surgery for tomorrow since my original excitement all of a sudden is worry and I am wondering if i should have just left it alone. I wasnt huge to begin with just a pooch and my skin was smooth and nice since i havent had children. I wasn't horrified to wear a bikini in public although I didn't like my stomach but I am horrified now i would have rather have had a chubby stomach than look disfigured and distorted. I am discourged too and and angry that i put myself through 4 weeks of hell. My doctor also is a teacher of lipo. What state are you in. I am wondering if we had the same doctor. Maybe we are both over reacting and I am hoping that in a couple weeks we will be thrilled with it. Right now I am discouraged too a little scared and pissed that I even put myself through this. I don't know anyone personally that had it done. My last doctor visit they said this is normal. I wish i could help you feel better but i am exactly where you are at if i learn anything new i will keep u posted
