Hi i had lipo on upper and lower abdomen and flanks. I am 12 days post op everything seems to be changing but although initially there was bruising alot of it on my love handles they look big and normal as they were before while my tummy is hard and swollen. Did he forget to do them? Also my lower abdomen has almost gone its still hard but does that mean it will go completely? Its lumpy and it hurts. However with no pain on lovehandles im worried he might not have done them why r theysoft?
