Zerona Vs. Slim Lipo for C-section Pouch?

I swore to myself i'd never do it, BUT here i am considering it! I've been looking pretty hard into Zerona and Slim Lipo, but i wanted to get others opinions on which one would benefit me the most. i have a pouch from my c section.. Granted, i am a very small girl and he was a VERY big baby (pre-preggo stats: 5'5, 119lbs.. and gave birth to an 8.5lb boy via c-section) I've uploaded some pix so that you can see exactly what i'm talking about, and im hoping you can share your insight. Please & thanks! :)

Zerona vs. Slim Lipo for c-section pouch

Your choices do not help your issue from the photo posted. BTW thanks for posting. The Zerona is a waste of time and $, I speak from personal experience. I did the Zerona on myself and 2 of my staff - a joke! While Slim Lipo is a form of laser lipolysis, the best in my opinion is SmartLipo, that melts the fats and 'helps tighten' the skin. BUT from your photo you have TOO MUCH irregular hanging skin to be a candidate for laser lipolysis. Again in my opinion, as a Clinical Instructor for... more
