I got smartlipo done in April on my lower abdomen, lower back, and flanks. Everything looked perfect but I noticed that even after 6 months I had a pocket of fat right above my belly button. I went back and told my dr. So we did my upper abdomen after, hoping to remove the fat pocket but it's still there.so now now I just have this pocket of fat right above my belly button and my dr said its just skin, and theres no way to remove it. Is that true? Please help me.
