Slim Lipo to Abdomen, Flanks and Lower Back - Boston

I'm updating this review because 4 years later, I did end up getting a full tummy tuck (which I reviewed in the tummy tuck section). I don't regret the lipo as a first step, and at the time, I was really scared of a big surgery and the drains, pain pump etc and not ready to make the commitment. Since 2011, new drugs & technology has evolved and the process is a lot easier so I decided to try it. On December 11, I underwent a drainless tummy tuck with Exparel and I would say the recovery has been the same as (maybe even easier than) smart lipo. For those of you who were like me, a better candidate for tummy tuck, I would strongly encourage you to consider looking into these newer techniques.

Updating photos now that a year has passed. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

6 month update. My weight has stabilized at 128 lbs and I'm officially a size 2. At 10 weeks I was really happy and I know that they say it would get better, but I didn't really think it would need to. It was only when I compared my 6 month pictures to my 10 weeks that I was like wow- the skin really has tightened and I can see the swelling has gone down. I cannot possibly overstate how happy I am to have gone through with this.
