camimaui
Im 36 years old. Mom of twins 5 months ago via c section. Notice a lump or buldge two fingers below my belly botton n 4 fingers above scar. Noone seem to know what it is. Some doctors say is scar tissue and others the internal stitches that came out....that lump bothers me..also have the classic pouch above my scar. Would coolsculting fix these two things?is it safe to do this after 5 months of c section?i am very athletic and want to go back to my normal life. Pls i need answers!thxs!
