10 Weeks Post Lipo on Upper and Lower Abs. Cannula/Track Marks on Upper Abs, Fear I Am One of the Horror Stories? (photo)

rpbusa
I had upper/lower ab liposuction 10 weeks ago. 625 ccs were removed(tumescent). I am 5'10, 190 pounds. In the picture you can see lines originating from the incision in the belly button and fanning out. From all the reading I have done, I fear the worst, that these are cannula track marks from lipo done too close to the skin. If this is true, they are both permanent, and very difficult to treat. Am I correct? If not, at 10 weeks post, do I have time to remedy them? Thanks!
