I am one year post op. What is wrong with my body.. I did have a baby about two years ago and was thinking I maybe had diastisis recti.. but I’m just not sure what’s wrong. My stomach is not flat and I have scarring and splotchy discoloration. Am I just taking longer to heal?
Answer: Not happy after a BBL Your shape is due to internal or otherwise called visceral fat so you can get a flat stomach with weight loss. All of the external fat has been removed with liposuction so the only remaining fat is the internal fat. As for the coloration we can see this after liposuction--it usually will get much better but can take a couple of years to do so.

Answer: What’s wrong with my body? 1 year post-op Brazilian butt lift & stomach isn't flat Hello @oliviahansen, thank you for your question. Depending on the surgical technique and approach, there may be some causes of inflammation for a period of time. There are generally predetermined times for a surgery. The early stages of recovery usually happen between the first and second months following surgery, while a full recovery can take up to eight months. The more technology used, the more quickly the tissues recover however it is important the expertise of the surgeon using this technology. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: BBL results Dear oliviahansen,, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
