Hello, i am 19 years old and got Liposuction of the abdomen and lovehandles 5 weeks ago. I was overweight as kid and could not get rid of the tummy and lovehandles. The doctor recommended trying Lipo because of my age and potential skin shrinking. I´ve seen a lot of surgeons and all of them recommended the TummyTuck with additional lipo on the flanks. Now 5 weeks after the procedure im left with less fat but loose skin. My doctor said it will shrink back when scarring occurs.
