Results Following SA Bodysculpture, Over a Year Later, I Still Don't See a Change, Normal?

Almost a year and a half post-procedure, and I am still unable to recognize any significant improvement to my stomach, nor any other areas that were treated. Even though the lower portion of my abdomen, the section directly above the mons, has been "lifted" and is relatively flat now, it appears to me that the fat deposits were merely relocated above that area, creating a deformed, 'pouch'like appearance. With this particular procedure, shouldn't the results have been slightly more perspicuous?

Liposuction

SA Bodysculpture is just tumescent liposuction performed without IV sedation or general anesthesia. I cannot understand how anyone can justify the addition of another term to the liposuction lexicon which is already too crowded. Without knowing what you looked like before surgery, exactly what was done at surgery or what you look like now it is impossible to answer your post in any specific detail. The problem could lie anywhere from poorly performed surgery to well performed surgery in the... more
