I took my waist cincher off (which I use, because it's more comfortable than the compression garment), and fell asleep. When I awoke I looked in the mirror and massaged my stomach with lotion. Even with some swelling, I could see a difference from the last pictures.

Chicagohopeful's provider

Dr. Zhong Ye

Dr. Ye was preparing for surgery but took the time to sit and talk to me about my goals and to discuss my best options. I requested body jet on abs, flanks, and back. He told me that I didn't need any work on the back. I appreciate that he didn't just agree to give me additional work that I didn't need just to run up a bigger bill. From my research, he is less expensive than other surgeons and just as (if not more) skilled. I'll keep you posted. Here's hoping for good results!

Hey there, we would love an update on your progress, so far you look really great!

omg what JOURNEY GIRL! I am so scared of everything you mentioned. But realistically, what was the pain like during the procedure? lol I am so proud of you~! damn I wish i was that brave
Thank you so much for this very thorough review. I'm considering this procedure with Dr. Ye, and you've really answered a lot of my questions and taken my worry level down by a lot.

Not sure why my pics posted without the update. But, I've posted 2 days post touch up pics, which can be seen in my collection above. I have NO pain, unlike the original surgery. I only feel some tenderness when I massage my stomach. I expect a faster recovery this time.

2 days after my touch up, I am still swollen, but the recovery is much easier. I don't feel ANY pain. Just a little tenderness when I massage it.
