My figure was always very nice, body is another story! It has been over a year. My stomach looks gorgeous. I still have those love handles I never had at the weight that I am at. No weight loss that was expected, weight gain actually. Pouch is gone. Just don't like the lipo results and the very tight stitching to create those love handles. Maybe I just need to lose more weight so it settles in. I know it's a surgery to help with your weight loss and figure shaping not something that's going to do it all for you on it's own. I was aware and got down to 120 lbs, but it still wasn't what I expected. Oh well. Stomach is great, muscles VERY tight, like a I do sit-ups when I really don't.

It has been almost a year since my surgery. My scar has reduced visibly, but I still have love handles I didn't have before surgery! I think he stitched me so tight that it formed love handles. Experience was terrible, but my pouch is gone, and so is some of my Brazilian arch which was a definite positive. I gather he must've lipo'd my butt, and not my thighs and hips?! Go figure.

I am still numb in my belly button area. There is alot of unevenness in stomach surface due to the tightening of the muscles. Unfortunately, the surgery scar goes all of the way to the hip area, and is pulled tight enough that it is making "love handles" that I never had before defeating the purpose of the "so-called" lipo! The only good thing is the pouch is gone. Now I actually miss it! How was your "mini" procedure? Any problems?

He is in Williamsville. He has a great reputation. Make sure you have the procedure taped- vid or DVD. VERY IMPORTANT. I did not. I spent almost $10,000.00 on it. Facial injections gone after a month. I have love handles that are now almost impossible to get rid of. Keeps telling me it is my pelvic bone, when it is actually fat. I don't think he ever did my hips or legs at all. No weight loss at all. Try Dr. Robert Perry on North St. in Buffalo. I should've gone to him.

Thank-you so much. I do appreciate your advice, and I feel better now. I am back to work and I am walking more normally. I should be ok in about three months or so according to an acquaintance who knew someone that had the same fears in the beginning. Thanks again! Nee
