I had originally forgot to post this side view. I think it does show a significant difference. I'm still trying to decide whether or not I should have my surgeon fix the bumps. He said he would do it for no charge, but it is a very difficult decision. I really don't want to go thru the pain again or risk another infection. Even more annoying is wearing the garment for 12 weeks! People need to know that the garment is really irritating. It is uncomfortable and greatly reduces the variety of clothes you can wear (unless you don't care if people notice it). However, it is crucial to your results that you wear it religiously for 12 weeks.

7 months post
When deciding, try to look at patient's profiles who are 6 months post-op

I've noticed when reading the reviews on this site, that people are mostly reporting how the results are after a couple days to maybe 12 weeks. But, if you want a more long term, realistic viewpoint, try and find people who can show you what they look like 6 months or more out. I didn't post anything until now (7 months post-op), because I wanted to give an accurate portrayal of how it really worked. As you can see from my pics, the weight can come back to the area where it was removed.

I think you make one of the most important points about researching lipo, and that is to look for results post one year. And further. 3 months out does not at all show a final result. I'm sorry you have suffered so much because of this procedure; it's true infections can happen and who knows why this one did. And yes, lots of people are complaining of weight coming back but none of the doctors seem to want to believe it. (I wonder why?).

Hi love. So sorry to read about your experience. Liposuction certainly is no joke. I looked into the results of coolsculpting as well. I have read many really bad reviews about it: tremendous pain and uneven lumps afterwards. And I wonder how the body deals with metabolizing out the dead fat cells? After the fat cells die, I would think that, the same as with any liposuction that kills or removes fat cells, the other fat cells in the body will grow larger to compensate. This would cause permanent problems with fat distribution.

The above post was in response to a comment below made by loveheartlove. I had intended to post it in below her comments about coolsculpting, but I don't see a way to move my post. Thanks.

Thank you! I also wish people would go into details like what type of lipo an d why and cost . These are the things we are researching. I am scheduled for cool sculpting and need two cycles . Cost will be 9 thousand dollars and I don't know what results will be . Looks like lipo may cost less .
