Hard, shelf like bottom of tummy 10 days post op lipo. Is there something I am doing wrong?

I recommend following up with your Doctor about your concerns. It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation is normal.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

At this point it is still very early after liposuction and there will be swelling still present.  Early follow uo with the plastic surgeon will be helpful in guiding your course of healing.
good luck!
