Timing of a Re-Do Liposuction

Photographs would have been very helpful. As I reads your question, you had a "mini lipo" and a "mini tummy tuck" because you used a ?surgeon who did not listen to you. I suspect your procedures were done by a NON-Plastic surgeon. Pregnancy fundamentally and irreversibly changes a woman's abdominal anatomy. By permanently stretching the skin and underlying muscles and by splitting the 6 pack (rectus) muscles women gain the dreaded "Mommy... more
