Would've been better off getting a tummy tuck for repaired abs & no loose skin

Bottom line, fat is taken out. Experienced a lot of hyperpigmentation and not told about the extensive aftercare regimen. What the office tells you is not nearly enough. Spent so much money on ointments, creams, fajas, massages, none of which I’d be told I’d need. 6+ months of nerve sensitivity in the area before it go back to normal and loads and loads of swelling and hard tissue for months and months and months. Definitely not back to work and yoga the next day or two. That is a marketing lie. I hate where they placed the holes, have scarring and not the size of a pencil dot. Noticeably large almost black circular scars on brown skin. The doctor was kind nice and sweet. I was dissatisfied with how much fat was extracted (not the max amount for my abdomen) and was told I could get a revision if I was unhappy with the results. So I waited for a year, lost weight and still could grab a handful of fat from the area. They did NOT do the revision that I requested. Disappointing wholeheartedly. They will tell you whatever to get you in the door but not follow through on promises. Would not do this again bc it doesn’t guarantee flat unless you’re almost there. Would have been better off getting a tummy tuck for repaired abs and no loose skin.

Spent about 20K on these procedures. I hope to save someone else their time and money especially if you have abdominal separation from pregnancy. It won’t make your stomach flat or fix a diastasis recti. It will leave you with flabby hanging sagging skin. It is a LIE that same day, next day back to normal. Will take months and months before you can touch your skin without wincing. The procedure is not pain free for everyone. Numbing process is horrible and painful. You can at times feel the cannula as well in my experience. The aftercare was way more than they said and the entry holes left large scars and hyperpigmentation. If you are already slim and want to take a little fat out, OK, but don’t need a drastic makeover and do this. Get your tummy tuck and actually be satisfied with the results and for much less money. You will spend all this money and Still need more plastic surgery to get the results they market you on pictures. Dr LoTempio was kind with great bedside manners. However the company promised a revision if unhappy. After a year I could still grab a handful of fat. All along they told me to wait for the year and it was just swelling. Not true. Did not fix the bad results and just left me w loads of fat still there.
