Asked By:05mustang in Bay Saint Louis, MS

Im 4 weeks post-op. They took 200cc from my Flanks and 50cc from my abdominal. They swelling had gone down in my back and I like they way that's coming along. I just don't feel he took enough out of my stomach. I wasn't big coming in so I would think it would be much flatter. I do know I still have swelling, but I don't think it's going to come down much more. During the surgery he told me I have muscle and my skin would ripple if he took out anymore. Is 50cc a waste it time and money??
