Lower belly lipo for a lean person... recovery time? (Photo)

January 7, 2024
Asked By:Jamie Deroe in Boston, Massachusetts

Attached 3 pics. Im obviously lean by most people's standards but I can pinch a solid inch of belly fat when im sitting down. From skin to abs is probably like 1/4 inch of belly fat and i'd like it to be like 1/16th of an inch! How long would the expected swelling be? How long would I be unable to do vigorous workouts? And can they really evenly get rid of the fat all over my stomach so its the same thickness of fat??
