So I've lived on Real Self for at least 5 years, really wanting to get my boobs done but decided my stomach bothered me more and possibly less expensive to fix, not sure yet though. So, I had 2 procedures done yesterday by Dr. Leonard Miller in Brookline MA. I'm quite thin and didn't qualify for a tummy tuck. I don't have any fat really just this lose skin that hung around my belly button driving me crazy. I've tried to just shrug it off as one of the little trade offs for having beautiful babies but I just couldn't. My husband gave me the go ahead if I'd just stop talking about it. This is my last ditch effort and I'm going to just live with what ever these results are. I had the thermitight Rf along with microneedeling for my stretch marks. My stomach is so swollen it feels like there is a growth on it. The procedure lasted about 30-40 min. I opted to not take the anti-anxiety as I didn't have a ride home, plus I figured, I'm tough enough, I can deal!! ???? Well, I should have taken it. They numbed me up pretty good but the poking and jabbing under my skin just felt so gross the entire time. There were a few occasions where I wasn't numb enough and I could feel the burning heat but they adjusted and I was fine. I've had a really hard time finding any before and after pics for this procedure on the tummy so I thought I'd add mine for anyone else. The redness is from the microneedeling not the thermitight, but the swelling, I was told, is from the thermitight and could last 2 weeks! The microneedeling was done after by the nurse. Dr. Miller came in to check while she was doing it. That part lasted about an hour and didn't feel nearly as bad as the first part. The microneedeling tool they used is a medical grade one as the needles are longer and will produce some blood, plus they said you wouldn't be able to tolerate the pain w/o being numbed up.

Day 3 thermitight RF
Hls91216August 22, 2016
So I'm considering today day 3, Sunday bc I had the procedure early Friday morning. The bruising is increasing on the lower part of my belly but overall I think the color is lightening up. Still crazy swollen. It's this weird feeling bc it's so swollen it feels like fat bc it jiggles when I walk. I usually have a pretty flat tummy, albeit a wrinkled one so this is just a weird feeling. I think I might get a compression garment to help. But here are a few pics from today.

Hi, I'm considering the thermitite for abdomen or jowls. Would love to hear about what you think now of the thermitite as it's been about five months. This would be really helpful to allow me to decide which location as I don't have the resources for both. Thanks for your help!

Hi, I definitely had some improvements but I didn't fix it. I have also heard that this has the best results in the neck/jowels area. I am still happy but really need to get to the gym to see how much better it could be and sadly I haven't done that yet. Based on what I've heard and seen in pics I think jewels would have the best results. Tummy is tricky and I think different with everyone but good luck and post pics in whatever your decision.

Oh I forgot, it's still soar but definitely less walking around. My main issue has been my 2 kids, ages 5 & 7, who I didn't tell. My 5 yo daughter always wants to sit on my lap and it really hurts when they bump into it but it's better then yesterday!

I just wanted to say thank you for posting & please keep putting up pictures. I'm scheduled to do thermitight on my upper abdomen in conjunction with a mini TT but you're right, there are so few photos of Thermi on the abdomen other than the company's stock photos. So it's great to see real time results. & I think you're belly button already looks fantastic!

The micro needling was recommended bc I have white stretch marks, you really have to look hard or I have to be a certain angle but they are there and part of the problem with the wrinkles. The stretch marks them selves bc my sling is not tight there kind of create a wrinkle of their own. The micro needeling was supposed the damage the stretch marks so they could self repair a little.
I don't have any recent pics bc I'm lazy and haven't gone to the gym at all. I'm trying to be more active now that summer is coming so I am actually going to have cool sculpting done on Monday. After the procedure the Dr said he wished he had done a little lipo while he was in there, so now that that's too late I'm going to do 1 cool sculpting treatment. I'll do pics for that and post here and let you know!
