Extended Tummy Tuck with Lipo of Trunk - Pittsburgh, PA

I've been using for I'd guess almost 2 months. I've not used the silicone strips to have something to compare it to. I cut mine in half so that I have two and one can be drying while I wear one. I just ordered a new one and wanted to give it a try W/O cutting first and found that because I have annoying discomfort/some swelling in my hips etc that wearing it at night covers a greater area and is actually soothing. my opinion is that I notice a difference the next morning. I do agree, given its May, it does easily get to sweaty to wear the full width during the day so I stick to the smaller ones I cut during the day and the full at night....

The best I can explain it is that your PS is correct that you cant have the TT and lipo on the entire abs due to blood flow and circulation. Safety and PS experience would come into play (in my opinion). If you look at my pictures you can see that my PS did lipo on the center (down the middle) of my abs then stopped over the areas to the right and left to allow for blood flow(I guess directly down from my breats if that helps and not black and blue lol) then resumed on my sides, flanks, back, braline etc.. He said he spent an hour and a half with me on my stomach first doing lipo on my back then turned me over for the remaining 3 hours. I am now 5 WPO and says ita all worth it. I had ultrasonic lipo and it was much more painful than the ETT itself since I had so much. Just alot of manual massaging to do now as I heal, the swelling subsides. Its fun to watch the changes each day/week.....

Mine is still by far too big, round and an outtie also. My belly area around my BB is rock hard and numb from the lipo but as I massage and the hardening slowly settles so does my BB. (Its now soft) At least compared to how it was protruding in the beginning. My PS stated I had to wait until 6 months to discuss revisions to let things settle. I am ok with that but wanted to make my concen known in the beginning.
It is very foreign to me having this thing on my belly, maybe its because my BB has always been hidden prior? I still wont touch it. LOL
Your pics look great!

My PS stated the same as yours but it can be done just limited as to maintain circulation. You can see in my pictures where he did do lipo in the upper abs. He didn't do any lipo immediately to the R and L of my center for added circulation. I will be 4WPO tomorrow and no issues so far in that area.
