This is what I ended up with after everything settled. Deep grooves carved out of my sides from waist to hip bones.

It's been a while
I took a break from thinking about having something nipped/tucked, so I haven't posted any updates. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the Lipo on my stomach. However, he did really carve down the sides into a V shape right over my hip bones. It almost makes the middle part of my stomach seem more round from my point of view looking down. Anyway, what's done is done. Here is my official before and after pic from doc and just a random pic when I was trying on some clothes I haven't worn in a while. A good denim jacket never goes out of style, eh!!??

Got a Look at Tummy Lipo!!!
Finally got to take a shower today and this is the first time I've seen my tummy since the lipo. My hubby took the 2nd pic above when I went in day after surgery for them to check the drain thing and show me how to fix the compression garmet.
I know I'm thick in the middle, plus I carried twin girls for 38 weeks, each almost 6 pounds when they were born. I did have lipo when my girls were about 4, so like 15 years ago. It was lumpy and dented in one spot the size of a softball. Of course the doctor couldn't see what I meant and he said it looked good!!!
Finally after all these years I think my tummy is flat!! Please excuse all the drain hoses and phone chargers. Getting this shower was challenging but I feel like a new person!! Hopefully this will continue to get smaller as swelling goes down. So far I'm very pleased :)

Hi Tabitha, I only just discovered this other review of yours today. How is your stomach now? Did you get rid of the lumpy bits with the second go? You must have been in quite some discomfort to have this and your eyes done at the same time, that's very brave. Having read about the ladies having all the BBLs in the Dominican Republic on this site (v scary) and the pain they all describe afterwards I don't think I could ever face lipo anywhere. Plus I don't think they do it very expertly/artistically in the UK yet. I'd love to address that under-bra area on one's back but I think at 55 I'd be left with little saggy pockets hanging there instead, defeating the object really! Anyway, I hope this went well for you xx

Yeah lipo at the same time as eyes!! The lipo hurt way worse!! I did have 2 additional after pics up for a while but they weren't totally appropriate so took them down. My stomach is flat now, he did a really good job evening it out. He seemed pretty excited about the lipo!! He grabbed both my side fat and said yeah, we can fix this!!! He did upper and lower abs and even went onto the sides to carve me out a waist!! :) Right now the feeling is just starting to come back. For 2 months my stomach has been hard and numb. But flat!!! Just in the past few days the feeling has started coming back and it's starting to soften up. It's definitely not a pain free procedure that's for sure!!!

That's great. I've never had a flat stomach, even when I was young, tiny and did gymnastics! What a shame that couldn't have been your outcome all those years before.. Nice to have such an enthusiastic Dr. Have you had to wear/are you still wearing one of those compression suits? I didn't know the stomach went numb either, but I expect that's more acceptable when it's nice and flat. Very glad for you - sounds like your happy Dr is honing his sculpture skills there!

I wore the compression garmet from his office for 2 weeks. It was thick and hot so I was glad when he said I didn't have to wear it longer than 2 weeks but I had my own version of Spanx that were thinner and more tolerable so that was way better, especially when I went back to work :)
