Should I Try Velashape or Zerona Before Committing to Lipo Laser?

MAMKH1Feb 2, 2010
One cosmetic surgeon said I wasn't a candidate for a Tummy Tuck and offered Lipo Laser. Another said forget Lipo Laser, you will regret it especially since you don't have any stretch marks on your stomach you will end up with crepey dimpley skin.

It really is too early to be so concerned. It takes 3-6 months for these things to resolve. The velashape will help but massage and time will also help.
