Belly button, jury is still OUT!!! Lipo upper back, too!
$6,900
While I still won't be in a bikini because of the remaining stretch marks, I couldn't if I wanted to because of the belly button as well. At this point, it is a tell-tell sign that I had something done from the belly button. The incision around the belly button is still highly visible which really can't be seen in the photo. It's been 3 months, so hoping time will heal all although I'm not expecting perfection by any means. The lipo of the upper back on both sides still looks like it didn't take but patience will have to be my friend. I just started using New Gel Plus which my doctor has recommended, but will be switching to something else as the tube is over $50 bucks for 1 oz. and as long as my tummy tuck scar is, the tube is going going gone fast. Anyway, overall I'm happy that I can wear my pants now at waist level and not pull them up to almost my boobs to minimize the gut. To wear any shirt I want to is liberating to say the least.

Redeeming himself
Ok, he has redeemed himself. The doc has made things more clear regarding my Lipo on my upper back (swelling) and giving me more information regarding this instead of the last response I received which seemed as blowing me off. I still have the hard lumps on the flanks where the lipo was performed which has been there since 3 weeks post op. Massaging doesn't seem to be working at this point but I need to be more consistent with the massaging too. I hope all it takes is time. I do still wish I would've went to someone that specializes in tummy tucks which would've givien me more confidence in everything that's going on especially the lipo. Overall, he seems to be ok.

Im still debating using him for my tt. How are you looking at this point? Swelling and how are you feeling pain wise?

The pain is pretty much nonexistent. The overall look is great. It definitely looks better then the gut I had before. My confidence is up two fold. I'm worried about the hard spots on the sides and the scars around the belly button. Hopefully, with time and scar treatment, these two issues will subside.

I don't like the rs new notification system. But I'm glad you feeling great about yourself and I hope you are healing well.

I had lipo on my flanks but I do not see a difference either but some bruises.. But hopefully we will see a difference with time. I still have stretch marks under my bob like you & I'm using a homemade body butter cocoa, Shea butter, jojoba oil mix to help lighting up the stretch marks.. But I think we can still rock a cute two piece suite .. Congrats!

Ok, that makes me feel a little better. Maybe that final result will show up later. I know I'm still plenty swollen in the stomach. It could be the same with the lipo, hopefully. Are you happy overall with your results? Congrats to you too!!!!

No.. I told myself that I wouldn't rate my results to atleast 4-6 months.. My friends love my results now.. But I'm very picky so I expect outstanding results especially since I worked my ass off to get to a 30 inch waist before having surgery. Only time will tell so I'm being patient on my final results.. My friends say I'm crazy lol
