8 days post op LBL and wow. Much harder then i anticipated. After having 4 csections i thought this would be comparable but this is much harder! My next appt is Friday and I’m praying some of these drains come out. I have 4. :( I ‘m very swollen in my lower back and outer thighs where i had lipo suction. Just looking forward to being healed and moving forward. I already look 100% better and I’m only a week out.

Amazing!!!!! This man is a miracle worker! After having lost 100lbs from weight loss surgery i decided to look into skin removal. After having several consultations for just a tummy tuck Dr.Poggi was 100% honest with me about what was needed. So we decided to do the Belt Lipectomy or Lower body lift. The best decision ever! The recovery for me was hard. I dont do well on pain meds so at day 5 i was Off all of them. That made for a rough journey but here Iam day 30 and feeling like a million bucks! He is more then just a surgeon he’s an artist at what he does. He knows his stuff and will not sugar coat anything! If you want it done right go to Dr. Poggi

One month post op Belt Lipectomy. Feeling so much better and moving more! My incisions look nice and are healing well. All drains are out. Can’t say enough about Dr.Poggi and his team. Wonderful, talented surgeon! I’d trust nobody else with my body. When they say you get what you pay for they’re not kidding! He goes above and beyond to make you look smokin! Anytime i have questions i call And his nurse Celeste calls back promptly and answered them. Can not wait until all the swelling is gone so i can Model some new clothes!!!

Hi, I'm thinking about eventually having this type of procedure. Is the incision thin and do you know if it will fade very well with time? I'm mostly nervous about how the scar will look and if everything will heal up fine without any infections or other problems. Did yours heal up ok without any major issues? Thank you for any feedback

Some places the scar is already completely flat and it’s been less then 2 months! Some areas is still a bit raised. I’m healing beautifully and will post 2 month before and after pics in dec :) I had no issues at all. The most annoying for me was my drains stayed in almost 3.5 weeks lol! Most people don’t. I wasnt Wearing my compression garmet tight enough so once i did The drains were out in a week. So do exactly what the Dr says! It’s not comfortable for the first month but you will be so happy with the results!!!
