Asked By:Mendy56 in Tucson, AZ

It's been 9 days since breast lift,.aug. & lipo to the abdominal and flanks. I knew there would be some swelling & bruising from the lipo but what the heck is that horizontal cavran I have going on across my stomach. It is going down some but that was not there before the lipo as you can see with the 1st photo. I am wearing a band all during the day & taking it off to sleep. It is very hard above and below the crease. Is this normal or at least to be expected. Is there anything else I should be doing?
