7 weeks post lipo, I am seeing minimal results and I basically look the same as before. My lower abdomen is hard and the belly button does not look normal. Why does it look this way and when do lumps and hardness go away? Also, I weigh the same exact weight as pre-surgery, 135 pounds. I know lipo is not a weight loss procedure however, will I see some weight difference even if it's water? When could I be ready to wear a bikini or tight dress? I am wearing the shown compression garment 24/7.
