i had fat transfer surgery 2 weeks ago and i feel like im wearing a gjrdle around my waist even when im naked. Also theres a crese. It's like a roll between my upper and lower stomach. I didn't have this prior to surgery. will this go away? also my main concern was making sure i get a completely flat stomach after surgery am I'm in the right direction?
Answer: Swelling Swelling can last for several months, but the most important thing to do is to keep in touch with your surgeon to make sure there is nothing out of the ordinary with your healing. My patients usually have to wear extra foam support in areas of creases and swelling to flatten those areas as they heal. I also usually recommend lymphatic massage to help move the fluid trapped in those areas.
