Asked By:Totally devestated in Floridablanca, CO

I am highly concerned that additional surgery is necessary. I am confused. I am now five weeks post op traditional Lipo. I had little belly fat on lower ab area that I couldnt burn off at the gym. I am now much bigger than the day I went in. I am listing a four week postop pic and a pic as of today. I am wrapped, take anti inflammatories, and eating clean. I now have loose skin that I didnt have before. Please tell me what my future holds on this. Thank you for your time.
