I had Smart Lipo in April 2014. Had a hard area around belly button. Dr wanted me to wait full 6 months before revision. Area is not soft and has two small pockets of fat on either side of my belly button that hide the abs I've worked hard to define. Dr suggested I do love handles to pull in my waist and she will use a syringe to remove the small pockets around the mid belly. How does that work?

Surgeons use so many criteria to define the extent of liposuction. I would suggest our Hidef Liposuction Revision Protocol which combines liposuction with Liposonix, lipo cavitation, skin tightening, and fibrous release. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon
