I took these today, on 8/3/22 so I am 7 months PO.
My waist is more defined--it is now about 27 inches when it was 29 inches before the procedure. My stomach is not as flat as it was a couple of months ago.
So far I have mixed feelings because it's still an improvement from my original tummy. You can see that my lower belly sticks out which is disappointing because it was pretty flat the last few months. I don't know if it's swelling? I massage 2x a day for 30 min each time. I still wear my abdominal binder almost 24/7 because I disliked the compression garment that was recommended. The garment dug into my armpits and butt and was very uncomfortable and didn't provide much compression anyway. I have an appointment this week so I will ask the doctor about my tummy poking out. I'm down to 97-101 lbs so I'm worried it may be fat and I don't know if I can lose any more weight.

Here are some side by side photos of my tummy pre-op and 2 months post-op. I still felt very swollen and barely had any waist definition but my tummy was pretty flat. I was excited to continue healing!

**12/23, 1 day post op**
-Taken in the morning. I'm swollen because I loosened the binder too much the night before.
**12/28, 6 days PO**
-Taken in the morning. Less swollen after tightening binder since 12/23, cannot totally stand upright
**12/29, 1 week PO**
-Taken at night. I feel I am more swollen at night. My flanks are uneven, but that may be because I was not symmetrical to begin with.
**01/02, 11 days PO**
-Taken in the morning. I am standing almost upright. Swelling in lower abdomen has decreased thanks to the massages. I am curious if the rest of my torso will remain this size or if it's just swelling?. If it's not swelling, then I can't wait to work out. If that doesn't help, then I'll consider high-definition lipo. I hope I get smaller...but we'll see. Although I'm glad the lower belly pooch is gone.
