Got bra roll area redone

I went for my 6 month check up in April w Dr. Shailaja Menon. My lower stomach and waist area looked great, but the bra roll area did not. She agreed to redo that area for free! It took a while to schedule - finally got the surgery scheduled for July 11th.
The procedure was quick and relatively comfortable. Only the numbing procedure was painful. She removed 200cc of fat from the two areas.
She also noticed better toning of my abdomen - I attribute it to yoga.
I am delighted w my decision to do SmartLipo. I highly recommend Dr. Shailaja Menon. She is knowledgeable and gets results.

1 month later - am looking and feeling better

I am wearing a body shaper all the time. If I don't wear it then my tummy feels tender. I feel hard ridges where the tunnels are healing and I have been massaging them to help absorb the scar tissue. I sometimes feel a tugging especially around my belly button. I have started working out - did insanity the other day. jumping seemed to jiggle the mid-riff area and that was uncomfortable.
My lower belly is showing a lot of improvement but not my flanks and bra roll as much.

12 days post

Am feeling much better. Got myself a TC body shaper from Nordstrom. It is very firm and helps keep the swelling down. I do have swelling still. My midriff is sore to touch.My flanks hurt when I lie on my side, but I am feeling better as the days go on. I am planning to work out today.
The pics that I uploaded are from day 4. You can see the bruising and some swelling. Day 1 was the best look - flat and thin - I hope that will be the final look after I heal.
Am feeling knots and develop under the skin - I am massaging them.
