Saggy upper tummy skin
$5,645
Hello everyone, it is now a few years later and I have quite a bit of loose skin above my belly button. I decided to get a tummy tuck along with a breast reduction. Please see my review of those procedures for further updates.

Nearly 4 months post
Hi all! I have thought soooo many times to come update but kept forgetting or maybe my results are not as nice as I was hoping they would be so I am a bit discouraged I think too. I wore my compression garment for 2 months I believe and ordered a size lower so I got to a medium. My upper abs are still looking loose and my love handles do not seem as toned as I had anticipated. Arms seem smaller but I still get swollen all over and have my skinny days and days I feel huge. I will post updated photos so I definitely have changed but I also have been working out and clean eating since early January basically. Down a total of 34 pounds - now about 183 and still losing. I'll post measurements if anyone is interested just don't have them now.

Did you end up with any lumpiness or dimpling from the procedure at all? I'm contemplating it...

I have a little lump in my lower stomach. Was a lot worse but I did about 8 lymphatic massages which are quite expensive and it went down a ton. I think I am still swollen on my flAnks. I still feel a little tingle/numb there.

I did lymphatic massages, they were very light touch and did absolutely nothing besides take hundreds of dollars. Was yours more like a intimate massage or was it more of a deep massage?

Hmmm
So my lower abs are pretty firm and tight but my upper abs are either super swollen or he didnt get all the fat out...the upper part is droopy and loose. Anyone else have this issue?
I was feeling super cute and skinny new years eve and wore a cute dress out but day after feeling fat and bloated. Must be the alcohol and some bad foods catching up with me. I have been trying to do at least 2 really good meals a day and one moderate meal but it is still challenging getting away from old habits.
Tomorrow is my 3 week post op and I am finally going to try a workout...think I may wear my garment during? I dunno...my skin is pretty sensitive still and if I walk too fast I feel my lower tummy be kind of numb and feel weird.
Will try to post more pix tomorrow for an update. How is everyone elses progress?
Not seeing any lumps but can feel some when I massage in the shower, flanks seem to be taking the longest to lose the swelling.

I'm 8 months out for abs and flanks. Almost immediately my upper abs were showing signs that not enough fat was removed. Lower abs and flanks were good, but more can be removed. Going in for a full revision January 6th also adding hips. I did wear my cg while working out and daily for the first 7 weaks.
