2 weeks post op TT/MR with bra roll lipo and my butt is flat, with no lumbar curve.

All responses say TT should not change glute contour, but my back looks like it goes straight into my butt, with no "scoop". I don't feel particularly swollen. Is this a posture limitation? My shoulders are still slightly rounded and hips tucked just a bit under because I'm so tight in front. It doesn't feel like I'll ever stand straight again.

My patients usually were a support garment the first four weeks. There is little benefit to wearing them any further, except that some patients find comfort in them.
