I had a TT in October. My PS agrees that I have a dog ear And i showed him an area on my stomach under my belly button that I feel should be flatter. He mentioned that in January, I could come into the office for lipo nd have both of these areas fixed with just numbing. He also said there is no downtime. Has anyone performed this before?
