Hi All,

I have done my upper and lower tummy ofically 3 weeks ago.my bruises are totally gone.arnica gel and pill help alot.

but i am not so satisfied with my result.My upper tummy ,under my hips has still fat ,and my doc said keep wear garment then if doesnt work ,he will do some touch up.when i touch my upper tummy it is as same as before ,and it is not hard as my lower tummy.I guess he didn,t touch there.but i am really not interested in going through the same pain.so i will wait and keep wearing my garment and go gym everyday.

i will try to attach some pictures,please tell me your opions ,do i need touch up on my upper tummy,under my hips.and also my right side is thinner than left side.do you notice that?thanks

Since you are only 3 wks out I'd give it a little more time. I had a full thigh job done 7/1 and I'm still seeing changes/improvement. My right thigh is slightly larger than the left, but things keepngetting better. My doctor, and others I've read about, say it can take up to 8 mos before you see your final result. Another option rather than going thru SL again is LipoEx. Totally noninvasive treatment that has helped to improve the appearance of small lumpy areas, scar tissue and loose skin on me. Good luck - hope you are happier with your results as time goes by.

Yes, I have heard of velashape and my doctor at first recommended that we start with that to smooth things out. HOwever after my first 20 minute session it almost looked like that things have gotten a little worse than before. So than she suugested that I do the Lipo EX instead, which in my opinnion is a MUCH better solution. When did you have your SL done?

I will have my lipo ex at the same doctor who performed my SL. Yes, I checked teh pictures out, you are not a big person either, just like I am not. We should get similar end results - it should be pretty good. I have had two kids, so my skin is just at bit looser.

I had SmartLipo done on 11/24, i'm still swollen around my bellybutton, and just below that. I'm still numb there too. I'm not really excited just yet about the way it looks, however i have noticed my pants are loose around my waist...so thats a good sign. other than that, my expectation was "improvement, not perfection" I think its a little to soon to make my final descion on the procedure...i have my follow-up w.my Dr on 12/30, we'll see what he says, i'll keep you posted.

wow, 5 holes? i only have two. i've been putting neosporin on this scars, i was thinking about getting the mederma this week, but i've been hesitant bcause i've used mederma before and i really didnt see much of a diffrence. I'll probably buy some kind of vitamin E creme
