My Recovery from SmartLipo for Extra Skin and Abdominal Ponch

Just had my FOURTH touch up 2 weeks ago. I'm done. Not doing anymore to it. I still believe I'm going to have some 'loose skin' to deal with, but it's definitely better. It was painful once again and after 2 wks I still feel bruised. There are some bad-assed lumps underneath the skin that I'm hoping will go away. The tummy has a bumpy appearance and already I can see the skin loosening up. :( I'm not trying to be picky but I still wish it was smooth. lol....

Hi Everyone! Okay I had my 2nd touch up in May 2011. (so 3 smartlipo procedures on the same area). My loose skin is the only problem I have. I went from a 29 inch waist to a 26 inch waist, but naked the skin is drooping just above my belly button and just below it. :( My Doc says there is still things he can do about that. The last touch up I did have the liquid tumescent or whatever it's called to numb the area but refused other drugs so my blood pressure didn't drop dangerously low again. This was by far the most painful of the recoveries and I swore I wouldn't do it again! But naked...I am conscience of my drooping skin. It's not as bad as it sounds but bending over or while in certain positions in yoga or other activities (wink wink) I'm self conscience of it hanging. I'm assured that no one is looking at THAT the time I notice it...again (wink wink)but I am! I'm sending more pics to my Doc and we'll see what he says. Overall, still glad I did it. I'll try to upload latest pics. I've since left my husband (Sept 2010)and lost more weight so that could attribute to the drooping too I suppose.

Oh and BTW - when I looked at these pics...they WERE NOT censored or privates covered up - so I'm guessing that the site censored the pics after more than just myself said something. just sayin.... again...smiling.

At no charge....

I sent photos to my doc and he suggested i come back for a touch up as he's not satisfied with the results. Prob is this might be as good as it gets unless I get a mini tuck. 4 kids stretched the skin too much.
