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

Asked By:cat3754 in Boston, MA

I understand that you dont see results right away and that your belly will be hard, but right above my vagina, the very bottom of my stomach is like a rock hard shelf. Is this normal? I had 1 real drainage massage after my operation, and one lymphatic massage since and have another again tomorrow. Besides the massages, is there something I am doing wrong? I also had a BL with implant, wondering if sleeping 45/50 is impacting this area of stomach. Any suggestions?
