After my one year mark of having revised lipo I still was unhappy with results. Tummy was lumpy and uneven. After speaking with dr she recommended kybella to correct my concerns. The area to b treated bellybutton area and upper left bra area and above mon pubis

I have never in my life heard of using Kybella as a treatment to revise liposuction! How many vials did you have? How much did it cost? I'll be following!

Did the kybella help. I was going to use it on my chin but read bad reviews.

Just read your other reviews. So you are 65? I am almost 50 next month and I had lipo last year with a revision about four months ago. Although I think it looks better, I am still left with some lumpiness and rippley skin. I think Lipo does best on younger people. If I could, I would probably opt for a tummy tuck but I'm not sure my husband would agree to that after all the money we have spent on lipo and the revision now. I am like you, no extra skin really, just some uneven results. Probably age and having had two children.

I agree lipo is better for young skin that retracts easy. I'm younger then both of you but had lipo and because I'm a weight loss person my skin doesn't retract. We tried lipo on my bra line and it just made the skin sag more. I ended up having a lift.
Now I had a tummy tuck with lipo on hips, only 3 weeks po. We will have to do a hip tuck once I heal.

Hi! I had “lumpiness” after lipo and I cured it on my own! Very painful and slow process but here is what you have to do:
You need a large bath tub
Pain Meds (Ibuprofen)
Your hands

Get in the bathtub, turn the water to hot, a temperature you can handle but is very hot, place the area you plan to treat under this water for 10-15 minutes. Starting from the top of the stomach start to push down toward your lymph nodes, squeezing the lumps down, keep pushing until you feel the lumps soften. Take breaks when you need to, it will be painful if youre pushing hard enough. Eventually you will fill the lump soften and even move under your fingers, keep moving the lump down all the way towards your lymph nodes. I did this an hour everyday for two weeks and was cured. I had less lumps than you so plan for a month of diligent effort.

you girls need to go dr hector garcia in colombia he can fix all of that. never ever get lipo here in america, they don't give you a massage thereapist or a nurse. You need massages 2x a day for it to be even. Thats why all the brazillian girls and south american look so good.

How does the cost compare to in the US? Depending on the areas I have seen it from $7000-$15000 USD here

Update on my kybella treatments

marlou66
Just as suspected kybella did not work. I read. Person needs multiple sessions. The first session was free, on my follow up I told the nurse I see no results she said that she sees a little difference I old her that I was not happy. I was given another treatment for free but that it would be my last free session. It’s been two months and I do see a difference but not great results to do another session it will cost me $3k. Someone asked if I had jplasma yes I did. My age is 54 not 65. I exercise 4/5 times a week eat well I I think. I am 5’1 weigh 121. My ideal weigh for m is 110-115 after menopause I immediately gained 10 lbs. anyway I am now looking at Venus legacy still researching.
Thanks for the advise of tub, I spent several hundred dollars on lymphatic massage after vaser/jplasma it did help but I guess my skin was not youthful enough to retract. I totally will tell anyone to not I any cosmetic surgery if you are slightly unhappy with your body. I was prefect before just a little tummy that I was trying to improve but I screwed up big times

I'm sorry it didn't work. Did the kybella hurt?

I did the same exact thing you did. One of the bigger mistakes of my life. Regret having lipo on my stomach SO much!

I have the same problem after lypo I'm all lumpy bumpy too embarrassed to wear bininis.

I went in for a consultation for a little fat under my chin - they tried to convince me to get kybella so bad - the cost would be a total of almost 4500$ with what she said was "a minimum of 3 sessions" which i found odd because im 31 and very fit at 135 and 5 foot 5. I originally wanted cool sculpting and she told me that wouldn't be enough to help me (now I roll my eyes) she was just trying to sell me on something- I did my research and ended up going with cool sculpting. So glad I did ! Kybella takes weeks and weeks for swelling and you need multiple treatments. Cool sculpting is half the price too!

I'm so sorry this didn't work for you. I can totally relate. I'm 51 now but in the last couple of years I did two rounds of liposuction. Left me with ripples on my stomach. I already had excess skin because I had had two children. Even though I had good skin quality I did not retract as I had hoped. I am now scheduled for a tummy tuck in February 2022. Perhaps you could look into that to repair your stomach? It's awful when we go into plastic surgery hoping to come out better and the end result is worse!

And, FYI, I can totally relate to the menopause! I am 51 and was 118 pounds and I gained 8 pounds in one year due to menopause!!
