I have always been pretty thin, so when i hit 30 and I gained a few ponds, i was very dissapointed to see that it all went to my gut. How embarassing having people ask you at least once a week if you were pregnat.

So its been 5 months since I had my lipo procedure. My stomach is still lumpy and splotchy, I went back to my dr. this week and he said that he would do a revision after I was 6 months healed. I have another appt in 6 weeks to check it again. I am not too happy. I feel like I look better in clothes again, but I still wouldnt wear a bikini because my stomach looks a little distorted. I hope the second surgery will fix things for me.
Great review?

Took four weeks for most of my swelling to go down. I am six weeks post op and still a little swollen but numbness is gone
