as I would like to avoid a scar - and actual surgery - do you think that I should attempt to find a physician who uses Laser or Vaser? Can I ask you all what your thoughts are on the other modalities: ultrasonic, laser-assisted, smart lipo, tumescent, power-assisted? Could/Would they work on this? Also - how long should I wait before having any other procedure done on this area? Thanks so very much for your help.
