What will I look like after surgery?

-
During surgery most of the skin and fat between the navel and the pubis is removed. All surgery is associated with bruising and swelling, so you should expect this for one to two weeks after your operation. Some patients remain bruised longer and in rare cases up to a month. You may start to see the results quickly but you will not see the final benefits of your surgery for many months. Your doctor will not consider you fully healed for a full year.
