I swore to myself i'd never do it, BUT here i am considering it! I've been looking pretty hard into Zerona and Slim Lipo, but i wanted to get others opinions on which one would benefit me the most. i have a pouch from my c section.. Granted, i am a very small girl and he was a VERY big baby (pre-preggo stats: 5'5, 119lbs.. and gave birth to an 8.5lb boy via c-section) I've uploaded some pix so that you can see exactly what i'm talking about, and im hoping you can share your insight. Please & thanks! :)
You have a good basic figure and great proportions.
Your problem is the large size of your baby and the skins inability to contract back to a smooth contour.
We have used both techniques;
- Zerona was never effective for loss of elasticity
- Various laser techniques we have used have not LONG TERM been effective.
However you would do great with a combination of any style of lipo, but must have a mini-tummy tuck at the same time. It is a simple procedure and uses the scar from your c-section. It allows the extra skin to be removed as well as contouring about the umbilicus. we do this regularly as a part of our "Mommy Makeovers".
We have been consistently disappointed with any form of skin shrinkage long term in patients who have as much loss of elasticity as your photo shows.
I am wanting to smooth out my cellulite. will Zerona help? what are the side effects?
We had the Zerona and eventually returned it.
In compliant patients we could get results while the treatments were ongoing.
However, some patients got minimal results.
Patients who changed their eating and lifestyle did get results which were long term. However these patients were few.
It is a good way to "jump start" any program of diet and exercise.
