Amazing Results!!

Just a quick summary that I had previously had liposuction on my abs several years ago, with different surgeons, all under local anesthesia. The results had been just okay, and because of that, I was also under the impression I needed a tummy tuck based on previous consultations as to why I still had a somewhat fatty, flabby stomach. So that is what I originally had made an appointment with Dr Hess to discuss, and he basically said I didn't need a tummy tuck, thankfully, just more aggressive lipo, this time under general anesthesia. He mentioned how amazing I would look, which sounded great, so I moved forward with it.

The morning after the procedure, I immediately saw results, even with all the swelling. I will say the days following the procedure are definitely difficult. Dr Hess described it as recovering from being hit with a bat, I'd say that is accurate, otherwise just extremely extremely sore in the stomach and back area, and it was very hard to move around for the first few days. However, I stuck to the post care and in about 3-4 few weeks I felt well enough to start working out again, and even went on vacation, and things continued to improve from there.

Once I no longer had to wear the post op ab garment, that's when I truly noticed how much better I look, especially in tighter fitting clothes. My stomach no longer bulges over skirts/pants and I also have a much more defined waist, so of course I have been wearing more body con/fitted clothing to show this off! I am truly amazed by the results, and just wanted to thank Dr. Hess.
