I had my check up last week and was told to only wear my garment for another 4 or 5 days well I decided not to wear it today as I was told and I feel bigger now than before and my scale even confirms it. I was told I have a protruding abdomen and to have realistic expectations I believe I do but other than the fact I don't have the rolling skin when sitting I feel like I'm 7 months pregnant. Is this normal what should I do? I know I wont be flat but I didnt want to look pregnant all of a sudden

Thank you for your
question. It is important to always lead a healthy lifestyle especially when
doing surgery. Please consult with your doctor before to make sure you are
healthy enough for this procedure and continue to follow up with to be sure you
are healing properly.
It is quite common to have swelling 2 weeks after your liposuction procedure. Swelling usually lasts up to 3 months and can sometimes be asymmetrical as it is undergoing the healing process. I would discuss this with your surgeon after a full examination.
Smartlipo is a minimally invasive procedure that
has little downtime and side effects. Typically after Smartlipo that patient
can return to work within 1-2 days, no exercising for at least one week. Be
sure to follow up with your surgeon that you are healing properly.
