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. I followed all instructions and continued compression garments for 6 months. Am so upset- this cost me 2 weeks of work, 4 months of recovery & over $10K.
