Yesterday I had my follow up visit with my plastic surgeon and showed him the line/crease under my belly button. He confirmed that it was caused my wearing my compression garment and the garment causing a crease while I was sitting. He advised me to continue drinking lots of water and pineapple juice as well as continue to exercise. Also, he said to massage the line every day and by next week suggested that I get a deep tissue massage. Not much differentiation in pics.

Day 8 Update
BalletStarJune 15, 2016
Yesterday I called my PS because I have been worried about the crease under my belly and he told me to stop wearing my compression garment. (From day 1 I have been drinking fluids and smoothies mostly including pineapple juice to decrease swelling). Yes to stop wearing it altogether. I told him that I was following instructions and want the best results by wearing a compression garment but he said that the garment was indenting my skin and to stop wearing it before my crease worsens. So I took it off after our phone conversation and have a post op consultation in his office tomorrow. I am also concerned because my stomach seems more protruded than before and the side view looks lopsided today. I am hoping all of this gets better and my appearance takes beautiful and slim while toned shape soon. Any suggestions?

I bought a divas curve compression garment for when the 2 weeks are over after. If you're allowed... Maybe consider it. I want the best shaping possible. I go in a week. :)

Thanks I will ask my PS about it. He really wants to wait until my crease disappears to wear any other compression garment. I massage it daily but it is still here. Going for lymphatic drain massage later this week and hope that it will dissolve my skin crease.

1 week Post Op

It has been 1 week since I arrived at the Surgery Center scared to go through with the surgery. As I have previously stated, despite rigorous diet and exercise these past 4 years, coupled with other health issues, I have not been able to take off 40 pounds of extra weight that seemed to have appeared out of no where one night between mid 2012-2013. Feeling quite confident in Dr. Davila's capabilities to transform my body to what it once was four years earlier, (into my slim and toned abdomen and thighs, I decided to go ahead with the liposuction surgery as a last resort to feel myself again). I had a rough weekend where my body swelled more than usual and was extremely sore but today I woke up refreshed and less sore and swollen. While i still have bruising, it is diminishing and I hope to see amazing results in the near future. I am posting pics from today-Exactly 1 week after my surgery.
