I can't believe it's 5 months already. Anyhow I'm still loving my results except that extra belly button hole I got going on on top of my belly button, hopefully it will go away with time. I still have swelling in the evening so just use a binder I also sleep in the binder sometimes, but I really don't have to and I wear shapewear all day every day because my skin still feels weird with loose clothing I'm sure that it will go away with time as well. Overall I'm doing very well, still happy with my results. I hope all is well with everybody and happy healing to all

I think you look fabulous! Thanks for sharing your pictures! May I ask how old you are?

Great results!! I'm so looking forward to scheduling a consult with Dr Shifrin. Just had my third and last baby last week, so I'll give myself 6 months to lose as much baby weight as I can then schedule the consult!!

Good morning
Compression as tight as you can take it, especially at night when you sleep or when you're working around the house in the daytime.
