I weigh 117, did not have a pouch/apron, so there wasn't much to work with. I believe its why I'm on day 12 and still walk hunched over. I wonder if I'm going to likely be needing a revision due to the pleats on the ends of the incisions. Also, where the old belly button is fitted into the TT incision looks a bit haphazard, and there are vertical pleats which crease upwards from the source of that. I am happy that I have a new belly button, and I'd trade my old belly for a crazy scar any day.

It's very hard to tell even with the photos. You may have some superficial skin changes but sometimes this will resolve on its own over 2 weeks. Continue to follow your surgeon's instructions.
Even though is sounds like normal post-op pain, you should see your plastic surgeon to make sure nothing else is going on and he/she can also give you some pain meds to help with the pain.
Lipo alone will not yield the best results. Combine with a tummy tuck and I think you will have a more dramatic result. Remeber that if you have children someday, it will undo any benefit you get from the tummy tuck.
