I have gotten 5 treatments of carboxy therapy and just recieved smart lipo on absr, & sides 4 weeks ago. I was wondering if my skin will get any (tighter) .. & stretch mark new better. been prone to stretch marks since I was 10. The ones on stomach came when I had excessive weight gain in a short period of time. I was wondering more treatments of carboxy therapy or is this is as good as it will get? I do not want a tummy tuck. Will laser help? I been using mederma and bio oil too.

Dear patient, Edema, swelling and deep bruising can take up to 6 months to resolve. Having said that your doctor can examine you and determine if the lumpiness is because of remaining fat pockets that did not respond or skin that is still shrinking or even the rare accumulation of fluid (seroma)...
Thanks for the question. Based on your photos, tummy tuck is a better option than smart lipo. I recommend you to contact a Board Certified Surgeon for consultation. I wish you all the best.
You will first need to heal from your gallbladder surgery before considering any elective surgery. Once healed, then consider meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon who can tell you what you can reasonable expect with liposuction.
