Hi Sarah
I have not had my abs done yet as the surgeons advised it would be too much (i had inner/outer thighs and flanks). However, as far as the flanks area, I can advise that the bruising has taken the most time to come out here – it is only just starting now 10 days post op where as my leg bruising was straight away and is healing quite well). I am also still very numb and swollen in this area which suggests i does take a bit longer here. On my profile you will see 1 week post op with no bruising on my hips and now they are purple 3 days later! I will do some 2 week photos on Monday.
You might be a little bigger for a short time (i went up but now actually weigh roughly what i did before but i feel massive due to the swelling and LA still not worn off). You can be assured it will go down and if there is not visible result when you see the surgeon 8 weeks post op no doubt they would offer something further as obviously you don’t pay all that money to see no difference. With the tummy/abs i understand results can be seen really quickly tho!! Any Qs let me know. xxx
