I met for a final consultation last night and booked my procedure for 9/24 so really only a week away which is crazy! I had my c-section almost 3 years ago and run more than most people walk in a week! With the way they stitched me up, I've never been able to loose that last shelf after the c-section! I'm so excited and not as nervous as I thought I'd be, I just can't wait to see the results! I have 100% faith in my doctor and he has made me feel very comfortable thus far! I'll keep you all posted on the results! Thank you to all the doctors who responded to my questions - this forum is much appreciated!

Hi! I'm the CM Jill mentioned :). I just had a little lipo to my "shelf" above my TT scar (which replaced my C-section scar). It's weird how the fat just kind of builds up there--though for some people it's attached scar tissue (Afnav had that experience.) She also had lipo to get rid of a shelf the way I did, from a TT scar. I look forward to seeing your pictures!

Yes! Thank you for 'coming by' haha you would never know from my photos but before my son, I had nice abs and now they are hiding under a weird bulge that will not go away with a variety of excise! I contemplated a TT instead of the lipo but the doctor thinks I'll have great results and it's much less invasive. I also plan to have another little one someday so if I need another c-section then I'll probably end up wanting a TT at that point anyways, so I went for the lipo instead! Have you had any other children?

I have three children. The first was birthed natural, the second and third (twins) were c-section. There will absolutely be no more children (I'm also 39 :)). When I look at you, I see no excess fat anywhere. I went and looked at your question and I saw that one of the doctors addressed what I thought. I'll attach it below. Just wondering whether your doctor addressed this at all.

You appear to have very healthy skin and a relatively fit frame. It is difficult to tell from the photo if the tummy bulge is due to excess fatty tissue or residual muscle stretch. This is a key difference in determining if lipo will help or not. Also, how long since the C-section? It can take months to recover and given your pictures, you may rebound to close to before with just some time alone.

Yes! He did actually! I was really concerned about that as well, the last thing in the world I want is to get lipo and then have really saggy skin because it was in fact residual muscle that stretched out, but he assured me that wasn't the case. If I flex my abs (as I am in one of the pics above) you can see that even when I flex the little 'buldge' is still there. It's not a lot of fat to remove by any means, but it's very uncomfortable in jeans. I haven't found many women on this site who have had a c-section and lipo after so it definitely worries me a little bit but my c-section was almost 3 years ago and I never had any complications with my ab muscles separating or anything I just haven't been able to get a flat stomach since...I duno, I wish I could respond to the doctors comments on this site with follow up questions.

You can post additional questions, for sure. But since your doctor addressed it, I'd trust your doctor. And it is a much easier fix, if you don't have muscle separation! I wish I hadn't, LOL! The scars from the lipo are so beautiful! Just teeny tiny little lines that disappear. You don't even see them unless you're looking for them. But you know what a TT scar looks like. It's great that you only carry excess fat right there. Getting that removed is cheap and a comparatively easy recovery. Super exciting!!!

One week away!

I'm posting the pictures from about 2-3 weeks ago that I used to 'ask a doctor' about my procedure. Now I'm a week away! I'm super excited and my only remaining concern is what will my body look like after baby number two! I'm hoping all the fat that would've taken to my stomach goes right to my boobs...or my butt would be great too, but only time will tell! Other than that, the doctor has made me feel really comfortable and I'm really looking forward to everything! I go in at 9am next Wednesday and he said the procedure itself will probably take about 2-2-1/2 hours but he booked the room 9-2 so we will have ample time. That reminds me though, I NEED to fill those prescriptions today!
Please keep us posted on everything- are you going to post some before pics while you wait for your big day?
