So I just had lipo of the abdomen and back. I understand there will be areas that are lumpy post lipo but on my lower abdomen on the left side it's really puffy either swollen or there's still fat? and the right side is pretty flat Like there is nothing underneath the skin. The left side feels tender so is that typical of post lipo swelling? Or is this a permanent damage and the ps took out more fat on left side than the right side?
