On Tummy Tucks: Why are some people more flat after a TT than others?

I had a TT (with lower body lift) on Dec. 19. I am happy with the results, but I'm not nearly as flat as some other two week post-op pictures I have seen. I have an e-mail friend who sent me her 5 day post-op pictures, and she is TOTALLY FLAT! I don't have that hanging skin anymore, but my stomach is more rounded, not flat. I'm not unhappy, I just want to be as flat as she is! Are some of us just made differently? Are our abdomens shaped in different ways? My surgeon said that in about two and 1/2 months he will go in and lipo any uneveness from the lower body lift, but will this help on my stomach as well? Does anyone else out there have less than a flat stomach after TT? Again - I'm still thrilled with what I have - just wanted a little more flatness!
