Phantom itching and Need a post surgical garment recommendation to reduce 'roundness'

Overall very happy with surgery. My boobs have some assymetry--but not enough that I'm worried about it. My nipples are different sizes, probably were that way before surgery but now looks more pronounced. I wish my PS had addressed this or even called it out before surgery as we had several discussions on lift vs. not. If I had a do-over would probably get higher profile implants and maybe even slightly larger. But I think my boobs have a very natural look and that's what the PS was going for. I think I prefer a more perky plumped up look (probably from watching too many reality shows).
Now on to my belly. Lately I've noticed that it appears to have a distinct roundness. It's not really visible in my clothes but I can see it when I'm naked. Post surgery it would be flat when I wasn't swelling but now it never is, even first thing in the AM. My PS suggested losing a few pounds to help as this is due to visceral fat. I'd need to lose about 8 lbs to get to my surgical target weight and he said this would be reduced. It's been such a struggle though! Hardest 10 lbs that I've tried to lose! While I work on my weight, I'd like some CG recommendations that target the upper tummy area. Also pre-op the doc said that it would be hard to get my tummy concave because of the deep curve in my lower back (it's a good thing aesthetically) but my organs have no place to go, increasing the protrusion. Only option is to loose weight and I'm committed to doing that. No way I want to jeopardize my MR!
This may sound weird but I'm just starting to get some feeling back in my organs. I can feel movement internally and twinges of pain now and again and realized that I've been feeling virtually nothing since surgery. I had no sensation in my c-section area pre-op and that hasn't changed. What's strange is that my belly has recently started itching and I can't really scratch it because I have no feeling in my skin. I can feel some pressure when I rub it but not on my skin surface. That's the best way to describe it anyway. I also wake up with a mild soreness in my boobs each morning which reminds me that something is in there, but no other problems. Still happy with the ways things are going. I've just started using silicone strips for my scar as my PS said that they have been proven to improve the appearance of scars.

Heading back to work this week

Been feeling up and down emotionally about my procedure. I have some asymmetry with my BA where my left breast is higher and nipple is lower. Also on that same side, my waist is more boxy (straighter vs. curvy) and my scar is also really thick. It's like I had a different surgeon working on the left half of my body. I'm working on being patient as I know that it is still early and healing takes time.
For a little pick me up, I went shopping in my closet and tried on different dresses that I hadn't worn in years because of my belly or would wear 2 girdles to hold my tummy in. I even had a couple of new aspirational pieces that I've been holding on to in hopes of fitting them. My next follow up appointment is next week so I'll see what my PS will say about my concerns. Overall my stomach is still numb starting from my rib cage but little pain. I go back to work this week but plan to work from home. Not looking forward to being in the office all day and I have a long commute on the train and subway--more than an hour each way.
My PS doesn't use CG but I've been wearing my binder for support. Looking for recommendations and suggestions for anything that works well. I've been shopping Amazon and there's a gizzillion options at different price points and I have no idea where to start!
