After Lipo of my Tummy, Dr Said It Was Tough to Do, Why?

February 7, 2013
Asked By:KatEck in Washington

My dr said my tissue was difficult to get through. This made me wonder if my recovery will be harder as well. I'm 5'5" 125 and had tummy and flanks done. I'm healthy and work out but these spots never get better after pregnancies. Why would it be harder than usual? What does this mean for my recovery? I'm worried I have made a mistake by getting this done now.
