My belly was lipoed on the bottom portion (belly button down) 9 years ago. I have had loose rolls above my navel and a weird appearance overall ever since. It's certainly not attractive and with the recovery of lipo I would never suggest it. Anyway, my current plastic surgeon recommended Exilis but has really downplayed down the effectiveness saying that they just haven't seen much result from it. But I think it's worth a try because there's really no other option and I just had my breasts redone so I went for it. I had 4 treatments spaced about a week apart. The RN said if I see results it would be 3-6 months from the last treatment, so May-June timeframe. I will post my before pics and update! Btw treatments last about 15 minutes and are warm but otherwise painless. They use a lot of baby oil to help the machine roll around.

Recommended product to use on skin
This is what my doctors office sells to use alongside the treatments. It is $70+ and use is 2x per day.

I will be very interested to hear how this goes for you. I had Lopo on my stomach five years ago and have been very disappointed with the result. I have some lumpiness and my skin never really snapped back. My plastic surgeon said I ideally needed a tummy tuck but I would have been ok with the somewhat loose skin IF there had been no lumpiness. It's so obvious to me that the fat was removed in a less than uniform manner.
I'm curious - did your doctor talk with you about a revision to the lipo? Or are you strictly concerned with loose skin?

Actually he said that more lipo would not help but may give me more loose skin. This is my new PS, who's the best in my city. He said the only way to solve it is a tummy tuck. But the tummy tuck is so invasive plus the cost, downtime, etc... It's not worth it to me. When I'm super thin the appearance is better straight on. Sigh

Excelis update tummy
June was the month I'm supposed to see the results from my series of treatments. I can see some improvements but I've probably changed my shape from abdominal weight machine, strenuous exercise and the treatments all combined. Is it better???

It looks like there is less skin but I think the difference would be easier to see if you lean over so the extra skin "crinkles."

All that being said, please keep us all posted here on your body tightening. With such good success on my face, maybe I'd try my arms?
