Can you just get the vertical line? I had a tummy tuck without lipo about six years ago. Since then I have very developed abs and obliques but the fat layer is too thick to see the definition. I have a center line and two side lines on my stomach but faint. 1) can lipo make the center line more deep/defined? Will it damage my old muscle repair? 2) will stomach lipo help my natural four pack show through? I’m scared it won’t be nice and smooth if I get lipo.
