Smart Lipo Did Not Work. Is It Worth Repeating?

Tripolar Lipo Before and After

$6,600
I am posting here before and 18 mos after pictures. I just had a little stomach before. It looks much worse after. The fold above the belly button is a so called "healing ridge" created by my doctor during the procedure using Smart Lipo Tripolar laser. It was supposed to go away, but it did not. It is also deep. There is a hard swelling under the fold that also seems permanent. The skin feels loose. No body sculpting, no skin tightening. Much worse than before - I look bigger within the same size and kind of shapeless.

Final result - skin loosening and contour deformity as opposed to body sculpting.

Please, comment on your Smart Lipo results and solutions.

Sorry that happened to you. Did you have frequent lymphatic massages? I was HUGE and do not have those skin folds! I would be COMPLAINING LOUDLY!
Seriously, I would threaten a lawsuit!

Why are you not posting the doctors name !?!? Don't allow someone the misfortune of dealing with a poor lipo doctor.
That is unfortunately. I hope your doctor resolved this concern for you.

Did not work! My doctor promised skin tightening...

Did not work! My doctor promised skin tightening all around and a great flat stomach with short recovery time. However, my stomach is worse now than it was before the procedure showing loose skin and bumps. I had very modest amounts of fat before and wore a compression garment for the full year after the procedure. The doctor suggested another full smartlipo at additional cost to me.
Any ideas if it is worth repeating the same procedure?

Do you have pictures?
Remember Einstein's definition of insanity? 'Doing the same thing over and expecting different results.'
From everything I've seen on RS, my guess is a full in tummy tuck; that would alleviate the rolls & flatten your belly, IF you find the RIGHT doctor!
Good luck!
U need to let be know who the doctor is. So they don't make rhetoric same mistake.
