AV.

You look great! I looked exactly like you prior to my procedure (upper lower abs). Do you have lumps or bumps on your abs after the procedure or is it totally smooth?

I had done my procedure for the fat removal mainly. I did not have very loose skin, but after two pregnancies of course the skin on my stomach was not that tight. Unfortunately I did not experience as much skin tightening as i would have hoped for, so while the fat is gone, i am left with a kind of wrikley stomach. SO with my clothes on I look really nice, without clothes....let's just say, I would not want to wear a bikini for now. it soulds like you were really lucky with your results. COngrats!

Hello, I had SL originally on 7/2008 on my upper and lower abs. I just had a touch up SL on 5/8/2009 for the same reason as you described in your SL review. While I was pretty bruised after the first procedure, the results looked pretty promising for the longest time. But as the swelling went down and the healing progressed, lumps and dents became more and more visible...luckily my doctor agreed with me as well, that teh resuls should look better..So I had a touch up SL. NO bruising at all! My stomach already looks much better after 1.5 week post the touch up procedure than it ever looked after the first time around. So I am very very hopeful...Yes, Thermage and LipoEx, Vela shape - anything that tightens the skin and flattens out the lumps could help - that is what I had read on all the forums, that is what my doc said, and that is what I have heard...

Hi, I used the same doctor as poodlerider.

Yes...I had it done in the Houston area, and there are a couple of others on this forum who also did. Some people had good results, others not so great. Mine are so-so, in fact I am having a touch up procedure next month to aiming for more optimal results. One thing is, make sure that you are wearing the right compression garment...my results got a little messed up because of it...wore the wrong one for way too long.
