WORTH IT$8,000
So I'm 15 months out and I gained back everything I lost, even though I've been dieting and exercising. I look the same now as I did going into it, but now in just $8,000 in the hole.

Hey girl! Glad you are seeing some changes! I too am undergoing a revision on my stomach (its uneven and still fat) and one of my arms (its lumpy). My back is still fat, but I am going to just forget about it. I think I'm going to wait until December for the revision. But, I wanted to ask you how many ccs did your dr remove this time?

From looking at your pics it looks like u have same issue as me! Where the top part right above belly button puckers. That's what he fixed this time... Wouldn't touch lower stomach unless I do tuck. I'm honesty not sure how many cc's but I can tell a difference

I had the same procedure as you on the upper arms and flanks. I am curious why you didn't have a full compression garment for roughly 4-6 weeks. I had huge arms and wasn't satisfied at first but the 1st garment is worn continually until it becomes loose then a smaller one is worn for 12-14 hours daily for another few weeks. Just wondered if you mightve been a bit happier if the compression wouldve been better. it does make a difference. also follow up lymphatic massages are a must of the areas for proper smoothness. I'm sorry you didn't get the results but I wonder if you didnt get enough care from your surgeon.

Update with stomach revision
JennaSunshineOctober 28, 2013
So last month ( 3 1/2 weeks) ago, I underwent lipo again to get a revision on my stomach. First, I will say I was definitely disappointed the day of surgery. I had previously expressed I was unhappy with my stomach and my doctor said he could revise my upper and lower stomach for the cost of anesthesia, which would've $450, so I decided to do it. When I went in for prep, he only marked my upper stomach. I immediately said I wanted my lower stomach too because I don't see much of a change. He said at this time he couldn't do anything with lipo. He said he could only make my lower stomach look better if I got a tuck, and he wouldn't do this until after I have kids. So I was pretty upset. I went ahead and did the upper stomach under local anesthesia. He numbed me with a shot and waited around 10 mins to start. I really couldn't feel much except a tugging feeling that was uncomfortable but bearable. It only took around 15 minutes and he was finished.
Recovery was much easier than last time. I only missed 2 days of work, plus had the weekend (so 4 days). I was bruised for around 9 days. It's been 3 1/2 weeks so I don't have final results for upper stomach, but I can tell a difference. I have no pain at all now.

Hey girl! i am going to ask for a revision on my back as I am just as foldy as before. Could be skin and if a back lift is what I need I might just say forget it but it's good to know that recovery from a second lipo is easier than a first!

My back folds have also returned (not as bad as before but not as good as a couple months in) and it seems like it's skin for me. However, the overall shape for me is much better so I'm not going to worry about it right now. If it is skin, lipo won't help ya. My doctor admitted he could have been more aggressive in fat removal in my stomach so he revised it for free, with the exception of anesthesia costs. So if your doc says it can be repaired with lipo, definitely ask him to reduce the price of you have it revised!
