Bruising
As you can see, I had very little bruising. I do hope that the lower abdominal area gets smaller. I am not sure if its fat or swollen. I also wonder what type of exercises will help with keeping the shape, I would love six pack abs but I am not sure if that is possible since having the surgery. My other concern is when I went to my pre-op appointments I was told to suck in and that I would be as small as that; well, I am not. I can still suck in a good 1.5 inches in my upper abs. Should I be worried?

Thanks for replying. My surgery took 2.5 hours. I feel like its not tight enough. I could walk standing up on day 2. I also had very little pain. From what I am reading the way I felt is not the norm. I do have some swelling but am concerned that the left side is not as curvy as the right. I desired an hour glass shape and don't have it. Tomorrow is 4 wks.

Thank you! I should have done the TT years ago. I feel fantastic and look forward to seeing the results in 3 months. Not bad for a 49 year old. I guess one is never too old for improving their body image.

Concerned about the left side not having the same amount of curve as the right!
I would love a BBL next year. How much body fat does one need to have this surgery?
