Stomach hard after lipo. Is this normal?

June 2, 2017
Asked By:lovenoel in Texas, TX

My stomach feels like there is cemeant in it. I was required to wear my compression garment for 3 days straight. After day 3 I was allowed to take it off to shower. Since day 4 my stomach hasn't looked like it did when I first took my garment off on day 3. Results were perfect. Now I am more puffy, stomach is fatter, lumpy, and harder. Normal? And will I get back down to the shape I had when I first took my garment off? If so how long will it take?
