I am now 24 days post-op. I am very pleased with the results, although I have some lumpiness and "waves". I would definitely recommend it to any woman who feels uncomfortable with a certain part of her body. I had stubborn belly fat which didn't respond well to dieting and exercise.

Can't wait for the final results!

Great review?

I am getting frustrated with my results my stomach at 1 week was much smaller than now at almost 6 weeks I exercise and watch what I eat now, has anyone else had this experience

yes so far my stomach seems to be bigger after 3 weeks but after reading what everyone is saying it seems to be normal,I have to admit I am worrying whether I am working too hard too soon as I am a cleaner an maybe I am using my muscles too soon

Hi alexis! How are your results up to date? I was lookn into him for Lipo as well

Did you have to go under general anesthesia? What type of lipo was it (tumescent?). Lastly, have your bumps and waves improved? I really need lipo to my abs. Thanks.

Alexis85 24 Jul 2009

I was under general anesthesia because I also had breast implants put in at the same time. It was tumescent lipo.. and as for the bumps and waves: they are still there but slowly going away. The bumps aren't as hard as before. I would definitely recommend the lipo if you have stubborn belly fat. I kinda wish I had done my flanks at that time, though. Once the fat is removed from one area, you notice other places of localized fat. Consider getting two areas done instead of one: it's cheaper...and you see more of a dramatic change.. Good Luck! :)

I had lipo on july 3 with the same doctor so far I am pleased with my results even though I am still swollen I could see a big difference already, I understand I have to be patient to see the full effects..
