I am 34 years old, physically active, & eat healthy. A few years ago back in 2009 I had tumescent liposuction done to my flanks and abdomen. It's 6 yrs later & I am too embarrassed to wear anything that exposes my midsection due to the uneveness. I have a donut of fat around my belly button, & dents and lumps right in the midsection.
