10 full months after having had severely aggressive full body liposuction, I do not look, feel or weigh any different than I did prior to the surgery. I went in to get my tummy fat/muffin top removed & Doctor recommended full body: inner/outer thighs, shanks, hips, handles, abdomen, upper arms, inner knee fold & neck.
