I'm trying to determine if I have visceral fat or swelling. I am 5 weeks post op. My stomach isn't flat & seems to bulge. Im not disappointed with my results. However, I would still like for my stomach to be flatter. Im overweight & I intend to shed some pounds. I've been told to be patient & give 3 months to see the final results. But, can I expect this to get better? Or, have I most likely reached the best results and what I'm seeing is more visceral fat than swelling?
