I got tumescent lipo on my abdomen and hips. I was dissapointed that I wasn't informed that because I didn't get my sides done , that I would have a muffin top. My two week post looked acceptable .. A little uneven but I figured I would be patient. Now I'm at 6 weeks and I'm scared it's changing and getting worse! It looks very disfigured to me! Please help and let me know if this is normal? My skin is softening and one side is softer then the other ( the side that's sagging) looks so bad though

Go back to your surgeon and be examined to see if you have residual fluid or internal fullness. The internal fullness is addressed with diet and could be related to food allergies.
For surgery, the area will need to be prepped and cleaned, then draped, then tumescent fluid will be injected. It is best to wait up to 20 minutes, sometimes even 30, the let the local anesthesia settle in well. Liposuction of only 100 cc's should not take long unless tiny bits are removed from...
If the zipper is digging in, then place a piece of foam under that area so it is smooth. Compression too tight can cause indentions. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon's office.
