I has laser lipo on my stomach back in may 2010. My stomach now looks like cottage cheese. I have started a zerona treatment to see if if will help even things out. The new Dr. I am seeing said he thinks the zerona will work really well if its high and low spots of fat and not scar tissue. That if its scar tissue the zerona will not work. MY stomach is very soft, no hard spots or pain just the cottage cheese looking lumps. How do I know if its scar tissue and does it look like the zerona will do
