How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I went back for the check up and the doc said yes, it was uneven, and they would do a "touch up" for free. Yay! It was essentially the same procedure, but much less painful and leaky. Barely any post op recovery time except for one day of leaking (you can squeeze out a lot in the shower by sort of squeegee-ing your area and having the fluid leak out the holes, but it's not for those who are squeamish). We'll see if this fixes the asymmetry. I look good, though! I'm very glad I had this done.
Three months post op
Well, I think I'm pretty much where I'm going to be. The hard areas have softened, and I feel less numb.
A few things to note: I've lost five additional pounds since the 5 pound fat removal during lipo. But I don't look perfect. The overall result is yes, slimmer, but not totally even, either. My waist is higher on one side than on the left. There's a small roll of fat above my bellybutton that looks kind of weird, since my lower abdomen is nice and smooth. The scars are still noticeable, despite Mederma and NuSkin. I look better in clothes; I'm not sure I look better out of them. I feel like it definitely looks like I had work done, which I didn't anticipate.
In the meantime, I work out, eat right, etc. The doctor did tell me improvement was the result he could promise, not perfection, but it's a little hard not to feel like he missed a few spots.

5 weeks post op
The hard areas are slowly melting, and my figure is looking better than ever. Today, I saw the doctor, and he was very pleased; said in another month, the swelling (hard areas) would be better, and in 6 months, everything will be totally resolved. He also said massage isn't going to help, just time.
My clothes are looser, and I have to say how pleased I am with how I look. I have a nice hour glass look now, and I plan on having washboard abs... I'm pretty active and work out regularly. That was the thing with getting this done: I don't think I could've achieved this without it, unfortunately.
There's still itching and numbness, but it's going away. The scars are pretty noticeable; I have very fair skin and do scar easily. But I can't get over how great I look. Wore a really fitted dress and no Spanx, no shapewear, and I felt gorgeous. While the recovery was a bit more painful than I expected, it was almost exactly what the doctor told me. And the results are absolutely worth it.

Dr. Langdon has been in business a long time, which was reassuring. He was very efficient and chatty during the procedure. Nurses are terrific, friendly, reassuring, funny. They told me everything to expect, so there have been no surprises.
