I had a TT w/ lipo 2 yrs ago & I've been patiently waiting to fully recover but I still have a pulling, burning sensation in my upper abdomen when i work out or reach for things. There's a small dimple in my upper rt ab, My left upper & lower ab is uneven and still a little fatty. My PS agreed to lipo but will that fix that dimple or the hard marble? By the way he says it's scar tissue, but why does it hurt? Does scar tissue hurt? Will it ever go away? I just want a flat belly! Please help.
