I had trisculpt lipo done 2 weeks ago. I'm still swollen but notice a big dent above my belly button. Will this go away? I am exactly two weeks post op with sono bello and already went to my first follow up appointment. The nurse told me I’m healing fine. I had lipo on my waist, upper & lower abdomen, and arms. The indentation is scaring me because I don’t want a permanent dent in my stomach. I still have swelling but I wear my garment almost all day & do not wear any tight pants. Is this a normal part of the healing process? Should I be worried?
