Asked By:supremex in Los Angeles, CA

Is it just swelling? Also on the sides and above bellybutton, it’s really hard to touch and also painful when I touch it. Doctor said it needs stretching, exercise and low salt diet so it can breakdown the hard surface. Also he said the sides are just swollen and it will take 6 month for it to go down ... so I have two questions, 1st. Is it really swelling and I won’t be left with this kind of shape? 2nd. Is the incision sight normal and nothings wrong with it? I had stitches removed 1 day ago.
