Received lipo on Friday! I am swollen! My lower stomach...no more hanging, but worried still about my upper belly. We shall see....

How long will the swelling take with just lipo and no tummy tuck?

Hi runningmom, u appear to be so nice and fit now did u get a mini tuck or full? Did u get a new belly button with your tummy tuck or ps only fixed hernia? I am scheduled to have one next month and your scar looks nice & short.
I had a full TT and revisions on Friday. I had more lipo done. My lower stomach is super tight lol :) Still worried about my upper belly. We shall see :)
Can I ask if the lipo revision is going to cost and if so how much? I will add that I think you look great but I totally understand the not loving results as I too am with you! I hope that your revisions next month will help!

November 11th, I am getting more liposuction done on my abdomen. Met with my PS and he is unhappy with the way my stomach looks as well. I hate to have to go through this again, however I am not happy with the results. :(

No, absolutely not. That is what I was expecting also and my lower abs are still hard, and not exactly what I had hoped for. I go tomorrow and want to see what he has to say. Are you being charged for the lipo?
How did things go? Are you getting more lipo?
Posted new pictures. Getting more lipo on November 11th.
I too am not happy with the results. I had my surgery in March. I still look swollen and I am completely numb on my lower stomach. One side has a big lump on it and the other has a flap of skin...I am just sick of looking at it. My doctor says "oh you look great, but for a couple more thousand I can fix it. Going to find another doctor and get his opinion. I think I will hold off on any surgery. I would not have to pay for anesthesia though because I am already numb. Whatever your expectations are of this surgery....you will not get them.
I am so sorry Kathy! I hope you find a doctor that can help you. I just have more fat that needs to be taken care of. I hope I like the results. I have to have faith that it will be better.
