Hello there, I had my surgery on Jan 31st, and I thought the procedure would simple, little down etc. Well, I was in so much pain but I can tell you now I can tell a MAJOR difference. My question to you is, did you experience any hyper pigmentation? My stomach is dark as if I had a baby. I wear my compression garment faithfully, but I have switched from the compression garment to the gym waist cincher. I noticed you are also wearing yours, is it working for you? I also have the long cincher but it rolls over my hips and digs in my skin on one side, so I don't wear it. Did the caffine cream work for you? I need to write my own review and show my before and after pictures. I will say the pain was well worth it.

You probably need a short one maybe a toresette, yes its def working for me an ive been working out i probably could have my flanks.done lol but yes i want to see pics I havent.put.one.up in a while ill do it today sometime the caffeine cream helps esp when im working out an then wrap with the osmotic wrap an then my shaper

And no i my skin didnt change

My sister told me my stomach looked darker...but I think she was just being a negative nancy. If hyper pigmentation was the case, its certainly gone now. Try to wear your garmet for as long as possible, and definitely still try to wear it at night.

Right like i still feel like i could have more fat taken out lol but i know i still havent seen the full results yet so im waiting ivenow noticed a indentation on the lower part of one side of my ab but hopefully tht will go away in time
March 14, 2014
My skin is alot darker, but the surgeon told me it will go away time. I wish time would hurry the hell up! LOL I will post my pictures later today or tomorrow because I would love to share my results.
March 14, 2014
How long do you think your skin was that way? It's been 6 wks tomorrow and my stomach is darker.

I wear my garment (the one they gave me after surgery) every day religiously! I never take it off, unless I take a shower. I plan to update my profile this week with pictures.
March 14, 2014
I had my upper and lower abs done as well as my flanks and the small back roll under the bra (that was added the day of surgery) and my recovery...well, wait until I post my review.

You're better than me, if my Dr was closing practice, I'd call the BBB and every consumer agency in the country. No doctor should just leave you hanging like that. Maybe she could have referred you to another plastic surgeon connect. You should be seen for the entire 3 months as all post-ops are. Anyways you look great hun! Keep us updated with all your changes. Im surprised you could go to the gym..I was advised not to do ab exercises so look more into that!
January 29, 2014
Thankyou I will see im glad you gave me # cause i didnt know it was 3mths. And if she refer me should i have to pay or should she thts.just plain wrong!! Thx so much for the advice i wish you the best to i might have to travel to see your doc lol idk of any more here who do it
March 26, 2014
...totally agree. I was just about to ask who the doctor was.
