sometimes the garmet is too much on the body. My surgeon recommends wearing it during the day and taking a break at night or vise versa, try it and see.....
I just had my touch up done 1 week ago on my stomach. The original smart lipo was 3 months ago but there were a few spots above and below my belly button that ere missed just enough to make it look waivey or rippled. the touch up was simliar to the first time except he did the lipo manually instead of with the machine. recovery was no where near as painful as the first time. the dr. took off my tape yeterday and it looks pretty good. the ripples appear to be mostly gone but bc i the swelling i cant tell if they are completely gone yet. right above my belly button, he ended up with a dimple when he was doing the touch up from taking out a little too much in that spot. so during the touch up, he added some fat back into that area. now that area is puffy and hopefully just swollen. but since its only 1 week, ill give it some time. that spot is pretty firm again hopefully just swollen and not bc the at he put in.... my skin is wrinkly again so i am anxious to see how the touch up looks in a couple weeks. overall though i do not have any pouch in my lower belly anymore, i can not pinch any fat, there really isnt any there.....
sure, send me an email address. i can send you before, 1 week, 2 week and 3 week. i didnt take 4 week yet but i think i am going to start every 2 weeks. so far so good. still lumpy in the stomach but it more than likely is swelling becuase it changes throughout the day....
When he was all done, and I looked down, my stomach was completely flat. I didnt see anyting till 6 days later when I went for my follow up. I was soo nervous to look, worried about lumps and scars. He took the garmet off and I stood up, wow stomach is so flat! didnt think the love handles looked too different though. He said I look great more like someone at 2 weeks. today is day 13 and I am still very numb. I think sill swollen bc it looks a little puffy. Now that things are changing, my stomach is still flat but when I sit seems a little wrinkly and there are some lumps which I hope is fuids and or swelling. I hate that there is 2 incisions right in the middle of my stomach, I really hope they fade. I guess I was wrapped up in the whole experience didnt really pay attention that they would be there. I am not sure if I regret it or love it. I didnt have any wrinkles before so I again, hoping I dont have them now. I am checking on a lymp massage to see if that will help with the swelling and fluids. Still want my thighs done but maybe after summer bc I want to wear shorts soon!
