I had some lipo, and diastasis recti repair, my belly button was preserved by umbilical flotation procedure. I'm happy about it, its normal that my belly doesn't look flat, also my waits line irs not even, its ok to use a light book inside my garment? I seat for long hours I front of my desk. Any suggestions? Thank you
Answer: Flat tummy Your result looks pretty good to me. The rectus tightening will not replace holding in your tummy with your muscles, or core strength. If by your waist line you mean the narrowest part in the outline of your torso from the front, it is not unusual to have this be different due to differences in your skeleton from side to side and top to bottom. It does not come from your surgery, generally speaking.Did you have a mini abdominoplasty too that resulted in the "float" of you belly button? That is what I am guessing.You still look early after surgery. Let the healing progress and talk about what expectations are in line with the surgery that you had at your next visit with your surgeon.Don't put a book inside your compression garment. It could harm the skin, leave a funny dent in your tissues and it will not make your stomach flatten.

Answer: Liposuction and mini-tuck If you recently had surgery, then you are likely swollen. Best to give it more time to heal and then re-evalaute.
