I'm coming up on 6 months and I am a bit disappointed with not being flat in front. All other swelling is long gone. I too hang down a bit. I'm 66 and carry very little extra weight but I think the "swelling" in front, keeping me from looking flat, might be a rare fatty deposit on me. If this is the case I may try for a bit of spot liposuction some day, in this small area, to get the final look I really want. . .
