8 weeks out, and although the uneveness has gotten a little better, it still doesnt look right. i thought it was going away, but it isnt. i am so upset. i love how flat my stomach is and how small my waist is, but i can no longer wear a 2 piece if this doesnt get better. :-(

My inderstanding is that if you have loose skin from having children (although I never did and I have loose skin) it's better to opt for a tummy tuck as lipo alone can result in dimpling of the area, due to looser or less elastic skin.

Hi- I had smart lipo about 3 weeks ago on my abdomen (upper and lower) and my flanks. My skin right now is very uneven. There are bumps all over my upper abdomen. They are not hard, but soft and mushy. My flanks and lower abdomen look great, but if these bumps dont go away, I will be devastated. I can't wear a bikini with my stomach like this.. :-(
Is it too soon for me to be worrying about this? How can I be sure these will go away??!! I am losing sleep worrying.......

Bumps can be normal, especially if you're still very swollen. Has your doctor recommended massage or compression garments?
yes, I am wearing both a binder and compression garment still. I dont look swollen at all and as a matter of fact, i love how small my midsection is now..just worried about the uneveness. i am trying a massage this week. Thanks for your input!
Hi I was wondering if your lumpiness ever subsided and how you feel about the outcome now? I noticed that it only cost you $3500 for your upper/lower abs and you had your flanks done as well thats a great price. Thanks
I am now 4 weeks and it actually looks much better. i am hopeful that the uneveness will completely go away.
I am having it done I am just curious to who was ur doctor.
Dr Melanie Carreon who was actually wonderful...and i am 4 weeks now and the uneveness is starting to go away. I am so excited and relieved. :-)
good luck! my stomach is actually evening out quite a bit. i am sooo happy. Let me know how your procedure goes. i am anxious to hear how your results come out.
How are the bumps? from the pics above it almost looks like too much was taken out. :-(
They are still the same... I am soooo sad. I agree with you though. I think too much was taken out... It sucks :-(
I went for a consultation with Dr. Carreon yesterday, and I'm hoping to get my appt set soon. She said I have real good skin volume? I think that's a good thing lol I sure hope so. The visit went great I really like her. Wish me luck!!!
did you have your procedure done? i was just curious as to your results.
I was suppose to have it done today but I had heavy reservations the night after I made the appointment and called the very next day and got my money back. Something told me not to do it. So now I'm looking into Dr. Young in San Antonio

im not sure i was just guessing, u can look at my pics i got loose skin, i got two bumps that my doc is touching up for free in june
try a tighter garment, a stage two or three if there is one. wish i knew but im not a doctor. ask your doctor how to message them or if she Recommends it.
besides that you look great, wish i was that skinny!
i will keep massaging and wearing my compression garment. i will be so sad if this is my final result. my stomach is nice and flat, but i will be too embarrassed to show it with all this lumpiness.
thanks!!
