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. Go for a Mini Tummy Tuck and get the muscles stitched and repaired as they are causing the protrusion. Now I'm confused. Help please!!
