I had lipo of abdominal area and waist on January 4, 2014. I am 5'7" and weigh 150. I have worn the CG 24/7 until about a week ago. I had a series of six lymphatic massages, have been walking or swimming daily for an hour for last six weeks. Until a week ago I did self messages daily. My abdominal area is still HARD; therefore it is not flat. I had 2,000 cc removed during procedure. Waist looks great. WILL the abdominal area ever soften or hard as a rock here to stay?
