Got Smart Lipo on abs, waist, flanks, inner thigh, saddle bags, & banana roll. I’m slow to heal & had a painful recovery, but finally starting to see results & mostly like what I see so far. I still have swelling, numbness tingling & tenderness in most areas. & skin needs to firm up. But the abs, esp in belly button area, is still super tender to the touch & tight. Left side fatty pocket is much bigger than the right. Abs just overall look weird
