I had full torso liposuction with BBL on 2/27. Swelling is coming down but I still have some spots of hard swelling and subcutaneous swelling throughout my torso and numbness. I noticed the skin on my midsection looks loose, crepey, and big pores, especially at night. I have been doing massage and exercising, still wearing my ab board an faja at night. I'm concerned this loose skin is permanent. I really did not expect this. What can I do?
