I am a little over 3 week post & have noticed that now that my skin has re adhered, my stomach has small lumps. I have had 4 lymphatic massages since surgery (manual, ultrasound, carboxy therapy) & have been wearing my faja24/7. I did get a smaller faja about 1 week ago bc the one Dr gave me was getting big.
