Hello? Im 10 weeks post surgery and I'm concerned about the fold/pleat that is in the middle of my belly! Is it going to flatten? Is my compression garment making it worse? I am also worried that my right breast is dropping much faster than my left! Any advice to help it along? Thanks a million!

Answer: The vertical pleat in your abdominal wall should improve as swelling subsides. The 10 weeks there still a substantial amount of swelling after and abdominoplasty. Is this subsides you should see improvement in the vertical crease.

Answer: 10 Weeks After A Mommy Makeover, Vertical Line In Middle Of Abdomen - Why Is It There? The abdominal muscles known as rectus abdominus normally bulge on either side of a midline depression known as the linea alba (white line). The umbilicus (belly button) sits in the middle of that depressed white line. When the excess fat and loose skin are tightened during an abdominoplasty and the belly button is anchored correctly, one sees a depressed white line which gives the abdominal wall an athletic look and is very attractive. Therefore, hopefully that midline depression doesn't go away since it is a positive and not a negative.With reference to your implants coming down at a different rate, this is a very normal phenomenon and, in fact, it would be unusual to see breast implants settle at exactly the same time. It appears your plastic surgeon did an excellent job. Kudos for picking him or her.
