overall, I'm pretty happy with my results. From the side im very flat, but id i do a 1/4 turn ull see the problem area. although I'm still wondering what's going on with the area above my belly button. it seems to just be a little bit of loose skin. I didn't have any loose skin before so I wonder if will tighten up to look as i did pre op or if it will stat loose. and one of the pictures you'll see me pull my skin up a little that is how my belly button looked pre surgery. Hmmm any of u having the same issue?
also I noticed the whole bra roll area looks fine without a bra. once I put on a bra is when I notice the bulkiness in that area I think this is skin and probably a similar problem as the one I'm having with my belly button

He listened with patience to my concerns. I was considering getting my inner thigh done. He told me he can help it, but genetically i cant have a dramatic change. I appreciated his honesty. I look young and i don't carry name brand things, but no one judged me. I felt respected and valued as a patient. The day of surgery he welcomed me with a smile and shook my hand. Immediately asked what kind of music i wanted. I said, "bachata." I spelled it for them and they found it on pandora. He said he liked it and even spoke to me in spanish a few times. Once he started, I felt some pain and he numbed me up with more liquid and allowed it to kick in before working on me some more. He said he could numb me further, but can hinder results because he wont be able to see where to remove the fat from. So i trooped it! There was no pain at times and at others moments of medium pain, but they did not last long. He was kind enough to not move around and not linger in one spot.

I think your belly button area looks tons better. I'm having my 2nd and final revision next Thursday because of that belly button ledge area (all the way around my belly button - about 4" long) and above the hysterectomy scar on the right hand side - hoping he'll fix it this time. Only cost me $85 plus prescriptions. Praying!!!

Hi again! So I had the same procedure on my abdominal area and had the same issue as u. I'm 4 months out and my doctor does not want to talk revision until at least 6 months. Just curious how u are doing since ur revision.

bra roll update

hey guys I hope you're all doing well. I realized I haven't talked about my bra roll. I have mixed feelings my back is not flat and I didn't notice a huge improvement. the doctor said I didn't need a revision last time I saw him for my bra roll. so I must mention I'm not satisfied with the results from it. if I could I wouldn't have spent my money on it. now as far as my stomach it's starting to look better again the swelling is going down.

It took awhile for my swelling to go down after the revision - be patient. I see the bra roll that you are worried about - maybe you PS will change his mind about that. Keep up the good work!!!

Sorry you weren't happy with the lipo and had to go they revisions. I had a couple same place and then switched doctors who gaver a fabulous shape but my irregularities were hard to correct since it was try #3.....so I just had antimony tuck to get rid of the loose skin. Hoping that this resolved my issues buy only been a week so I'm swollen.

What is antimony tuck Cautiousyounglady? I don't have loose skin just fat around the belly button area and above hysterectomy scar on right side (he only went in on left side during revision).

IDK he insisted it looked fine when i had my revision done on my belly. I must say i am disappointed that no one in the office has called me and the day of the revision i was told i did not need to set any in office follow ups. Did they tell you the same? Sorry, but i was not notified i had new comments on here till today.

I took the pictures right before this post at the same fitting room that I took the initial ones where I'm wearing red. The lighting in this fitting room is not forgiving. Lol

I think you look great. I'm 2 months post revision and still swelling in my problem area - the stupid belly button. It still has a ridge and I am not very happy about it. I go tomorrow to see the PS - will, also, be talking with him about the area of fat transfer above my hysterectomy scar that he caused - not a happy camper!!! Hang in there - happy healing.

Hello, I am so glad you are doing so much better; as I was looking through this site, I ran across your pics and I said to myself 'my god there is finally someone that feels and has the same type of body structure as you...I had lipo done 5/2/15 on upper and lower abs, flanks, bra rolls, hips and waist, I'm 5"2 160 pounds and I am going th

I am sorry you are having a similar experience. It was sooooo hard to be patient. The doctor kept saying let your body heal, but i kept seeing all these amazing transformations from other women on here. I kept saying no this is not right. My area over my belly button really bothered me. I must say it still does after the revision it is still not tight. I use to be 120 at some point, so i know what its suppose to look like. lol Either way i am very happy now i had my revision in april and i look so much better in general. I am not ready for a bikini yet. I hope in a few months the swelling will reduce even more. I will go see your page now. =)
