Post-lipo update.

Well, diet and exercise has done nothing, wearing a compression garment for months feels like only a placebo effect, and I still cannot wear a bikini to the beach. I am very unhappy with how my results turned out as my body healed. I question the decision I made every day when I look in the mirror. I truly hope that one day I will feel normal. I hope one day I will feel like a beautiful woman. This procedure made a huge dent in my savings account. And to fix the issue, it is going to cost you even more. It is so unfortunate.

7 months post lipo

Well I told my surgeon about my frustration about the lumps on my stomach and he kept repeating, this looks great! I didn’t feel great and I still don’t. I should have known considering he didn’t take a picture of my body during my last check up like he did after the first month. The bumps around my belly button just won’t go away and I’m angry that I may need a second surgery to fix this. Or maybe it’s not fixable :( The bumps don’t appear as much in photo as they do up close and to the touch. Is this normal and expected? Any advice?

Dr. Lakin Thank You!

I had liposuction of my abdomen, sides, and flanks. Dr. Larkin, the results are amazing! And things will only get better with diet and exercise. I also have been doing the lymphatic massages as you’ve suggested which has decreased any lumpiness. Also the compression garments have helped too! Your confidence helped ease my anxiety when making this decision and your excitement of my results made me even more excited. I can finally wear a tight dress and feel beautiful and I no longer have to hide from the beach. Thank you so much!
