Slim Lipo for C-section Pouch?
I had my baby about 14 months ago via c-section, and have lost all my pregnancy weight. I'm actually in great shape with about 20% body fat only, but I have a tiny trouble area which I have learned is the "c-section pouch".
Liposuction would probably be too much for me since it's such a tiny spot and very localized,and I don't want saggy skin afterwards (i have no saggy skin now). Is Slim Lipo a good choice? Are there alternatives or different procedures??

Slim Lipo for body fat
Although Slim Lipo is relatively new technology, it has proven to be quite effective in the right clinical situations. I would agree that liposuction of a small deposit of fat in what sounds like the area above your pubic bone may be more than you need. The Slim Lipo procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and is very good at addressing small pockets of fat and tightening the skin from where the fat was removed. It can also be used in larger deposits of fat but at 20% body fat...

SlimLipo can be used on small areas
SlimLipo laser assisted liposuction is very useful for carefully removing small areas of fat in otherwise thin fit people.
However, the most common cause of a C-section pouch is contraction or tightening of the C-section scar which pulls upward, forcing the abdominal skin above the scar to fall over the scar forming a pouch.
If this is what has happened ot you then a revision of the scar-a simplified mini tummy tuch is the best solution. I have also had luck using the Non-ablative 1540...
