Asked By:cc_cc in GA

I'm 8 days post lipo/bbl, and my stomach looks bigger in the garment than it was BEFORE I had the lipo!! When I take the garment off to shower, it doesn't look as big, but when I have the garment on, I look like I'm 4 months pregnant! This is depressing me as I expected a flat tummy after liposuction! I do not feel liquid in my belly.
