I had lipusction done on 3 months ago. I got lymphatic/ultra sound massages, wore my abdominal board & garment every day, as told to do so by my doctor. Like I said, it is now 3 months later & I have excess fat on my back and hard lumps on my stomach. I paid for 12 areas: Stomach, back, and flanks & only 1 liter of fat was taken out.
