What can I do to help my flanks compress after liposuction? 7 weeks post-op. (Photos)

Asked By:liporookie in Charlotte, NC

I got lipo done on my chest, back, abdomen, and flanks. I am in week 7 of my recovery period and my happiness levels goes from happy to not so much. I realize that I'm only 7 weeks into this and I'm trying to be patient but it is hard when you look at yourself daily. I was wondering if my flanks are still swollen or if at 7 weeks all the swelling is gone and I'm just healing.I wear compression 23 hours daily with foam ab board and a binder. I want my sides to go down any advice would be great.
