I had liposuction almost 8 weeks ago on my upper & lower abdomen &flanks. My lower stomach still has a little pooch &isn't as flat as it should. My lower stomach & flanks are very firm. I had my garment resized to a smaller size since I've slimmed down and it was loose in the abdomen area. Is expecting a super flat stomach reasonable ? What can I do to maximize my results? (I eat right and exercise 45 minutes a day 5 days a week as well as wear my garment 22 hours a day)
