Is this normal
Body Lift

I am 2 weeks post op from plastic surgery I had a tummy tuck, lower body lift, thigh tuck and lipo as well as a breast augmentation and implant. I have a long crease going down my tummy and a lot of puffy loose skin around what I think is a large ugly belly button...my ps keeps telling me to be patient that this is totally normal and it's just swelling, I feel like I wasn't pulled tight enough...please help.

I agree with Blinski too much surgery at once. Pictures speak a thousand words and should be posted. (more)

Photos did not post. Where was the surgery done? What city? Quite a lot of surgery in one operation. (more)
