Dear Dayna,My PS said it could contract a bit over 3 months, maybe not.He's not sure really. Look ok standing, but now without the swelling,the up.ab.skin folds/rolls over when I bend/sit. HE said to wear the garment again at night. Skin ok everywhere else. Had a total of 2lbs removed from knees, abs in.thighs,flanks up/low abs. What do you think? My bb is different (nice) but tight just above. Does he have to add fat back into the waistband area to keep the skin from falling over when I bend? Will this contract alittle on it's own? Up.ab skin folds and stays where you pinch it when I bend over all of a sudden. Should I do lots of sit-ups/Drink extra water.I know that the lower part is still "STIFF" just below the waistband, and perhaps when that softens the folds when bending might be smoother. From your extensive knowelege ,and communication with countless people like me, you must have run across this type of scenerio, and it's outcome. Is he afraid to say this is it and it won't improve or is there a chance that it will contract a bit? Thank you for your time to reply.

I think it will be a combination of the upper abdomen skin tightening and the lower abdomen loosening as scar tissue and swelling diminish. So, in the end it will be improved. I'd give it 6 months from your surgery.

p.s. situps and hydration will keep you fit and healthy, but I doubt that it will help your current skin situation.
