Finally Did It: Liposuction 6 Days Ago - VA

UPDATED FROM Chinita20

Year update

WORTH IT$3,500
All I can say is wow, Dr. Widder did a great job. At the beginning I was a bit worried and even depressed because my stomach did not look the way I wanted too, however, it takes time to recover and see the full results. A year later, I can finally see the results and I'm extremely happy. Even though there are is a small lump, nothing is perfect. Overall I feel wonderful!

hi.... yes it looks good now!!
Did you go an get your lumps massaged out? These lumps are the saline water pockets that are still there from surgery. It is normal to have them but they disappear real quick when massaged out. I had mine massaged out like a month after my lipo and every time during my massage, I had a urgent need to go urinate.
I try a lot of massaging, and the doctor even put cortisone, but nothing help. I just learned to live with it :(
I'm dealing with similar problem now. I just had steroid injected yesterday but I forgot to ask what kind. How many times did you get the injections? Dr also prescribed singulair. Sept 2013 you gave a positive review and thought it looked better. Has it gotten worse since then? Would love to see an updated picture.
I did and I thought it locked better. But as I started exercising more, and eating much healthier my stomach was looking great except for this little bumps and uneveness :( I'll post a picture soon.
I am also considering de widder for lipo but am worried about the lumps how are they now are you still happy with the work performed?
Unfortunately not. I still have lumps and they haven't gone away. I have worked out for over a year, been eating very healthy, nonetheless, seems like they are there permanently. Honestly, I wish I never did it because my skin is damaged and it has a lot of tiny dark spots. He is a good doctor but I wouldn't recommend him for liposuction. Hope this helps, I do not want to by all means change your mind about him. I just recommend you try it naturally by exercising and changing you eating habits. Liposuction has that risk of leaving lumps, and I don't wish that to anyone.
Thanks I am in pretty good shape I just have a little bulge in my lower stomach but it's mostly just vanity, I think I may hold off on lipo in my stomach
I was the same, fit but wanted to have that "flat" belly. and at the end I ended up with a little bit less tummy but damaged skin and unevenness. I truly wished I didn't do it. I'm glad you will hold off. Trust me, the best thing for you to do to target your belly by eating healthier and exercising. I been exercising and my belly looks better but the lumps are still there (sigh).
Sorry to hear that but thanks for sharing your story I was on the fence about lipo on my stomach and have had a couple of ps say either a TT or don't do anything but your story helped me make up my mind
post pictures please

Anyone knows when will the lumps go away? I talked to a couple of people who went under lipo and never developed lumps? Is this normal? Or is this the doctors technique?

I had lipo about 3 1/2 weeks ago. No lumps yet. I do feel small knots under my skin but they aren't visible or worrisome. Do you have any recent pics?
Yes, will post them soon. Mine are visible, I had a couple of people look at it, and they could clearly tell I did something.
What is your dr saying?
I got surgery June 4th.. Just turned 21 and was 140 pounds. I have minor lumps but they are hard pieces that are going down.. All they are is your skin heeling underneath as if it was scabbing over. I have a lot more feeling now and really starting to see my shape! Already down a size. Hope this helps- been following you ever since I got mine.
Very well said. Every day it will look better and better !!
Hang in there. It's only been a week.

9 week update- My lumps are smaller but still visible, I hope my stomach will look nice and flat :/ . I wonder if everyone gets lumps or its just certain people that do and if they completely disappear.

Yes large ones. They will soften over time. We still have at least 2 more months for Final results. I massage all the time!!
