Asked By:dollface84 in Ohio, OH

I have been massaging my areas treated no change was told to massage at 2 weeks I'm 4 weeks out only area that is getting soft to touch as long as I'm laying down is my pouch.other wise when standing up it sticks out bad and is hard.was the same before massage but now I can push the whole area in quit a bit but no luck on getting the hard areas to be less noticeable.massage all areas treated for 1 hour a day. Looks of it I will end up having a tummy tuck that I don't want.
