Hi, I had a full body tumescent lipo, 9 weeks ago. I'm happy with my results so far but I'm concerned about the asymmetry on my waist. One side is curvy while the other side is flat and hard, I massage my body everyday, I'm using my compression garment 24/7 but nothing seems to help. My plastic surgeon said that is just swelling. My next follow up is in one more month. If its swelling, how long go it will take to resolve? If not, what can I do to even out my waistline without surgery (lipo)?
