One year
Wow, it looks like Ive been lazy. Got an email thats its been a year so i took some pics. Ive obviously gained some weight back. But my contour is still light years better. I still feel great in clothes, but I have started jogging to try to get in better shape for summer. I still have the ridge in my lower abdomen. 99% of people wont notice, but the one time I was asked, I said it was left over from an umbilical hernia surgery.
Look, lipo isnt a wonder cure. Its a crude procedure. But Im very happy.

5 month Post Op
Overall, Im happy that I had the surgery, but it wasn't perfect. I have a slight roll under my navel that can be seen in the six week pics. It appears they got a little too aggressive in that area, so it left a slight dent in my stomach. To be fair, I had an umbilical hernia a few years ago. I dont think that could have caused this, but you never know. Its very slight, and I doubt anyone else will ever question it,.but I see it every day.
I thought this surgery would be about how I look at the beach, etc., but it made a larger improvement in how I can dress than I imagined. I used to hate how my shirts would hug my side fat, but that is completely eliminated now.
If you want it, and can afford it, do it. But please understand this is still a pretty crude process, and no surgery will ever leave you with a 100% natural appearance.

Six Weeks
Feel almost completely normal at this point. Jogged a bit the other day, and things didnt feel right, little bit of pain in all areas that were lipo'd. I hate running/jogging, so Im fine with that. Still doing spanx at day, compression with foam while I sleep. Ill probably continue the compression at night. Going to try going without spanx during the day, but its no trouble to wear it. I can see it being addictive, actually
I do notice that Im swollen at night when I take the spanx off. I look better in the morning vs night for sure. I guess that is the residual swelling that can stick around for up to six months.
Bottom line is that Im happy, but had higher expectations. They may have been unreasonable. You need to accept that this is still a crude procedure, and no one can guarantee exact results with contour, etc. What I have told several people is that if you have ever been happy with your body, dont do this. If its possible that you can look good through diet, do it.

Provider Review
Name withheld
My Dr. was amazing, and is known to be one of the best in Houston. My wife's aunt and uncle are surgeons, and this surgeon seems to be the surgeon that Dr's use, which tells you something. I haven't seen her advertise anywhere online other than her website, so I feel a little weird putting her name out there. Im going to ask her at a follow up appointment if its ok for me to post her name. If it is, I will sing her praises from the rooftops.
