Line in my lower back after liposuction? 3 weeks post-op. (photos)

Asked By:lovedez in Phoenix, AZ

So I had liposuction on my abdomen/waist/flanks area about 2 1/2 almost 3 weeks ago. I know that I’m still swollen but there is this line on my lower back that I’m afraid is just not going to go away. I have been massaging it everyday and also taking Bromelain and nothing seems to be making it diminish. And some days looks worse than others! I guess I just need clarification on if this is just swelling and will this line eventually go away. I inserted pics of my back before and my back now!
