I've had a bit of abdominal pooch that won't go away for as long as I can remember - it sticks around even if I am 15 or 20 pounds lighter than my "before" picture here. So finally I decided it was time to work with a surgeon to get the body I really wanted.
I did a lot of research before choosing Dr. Swift - reading reviews and looking at before and after pictures for many board-certified plastic surgeons to try to find the doctor who seemed to have the best results starting on relatively lean individuals. It's only been two days since my surgery and I'm already super thrilled I did it - I know my body well and I was *never* able to achieve this kind of flat stomach before, so I'm incredibly excited to see the results continue to develop as swelling goes down over the next few months.
As a bonus, Dr. Swift went in through my belly button where I had an older scar from a non-cosmetic surgery and actually improved the appearance of that scar on his way back out! So I have a cuter bellybutton now. :) Thanks, Dr. Swift!

Week 3!
ttenaniMarch 1, 2018
Week 3 and per Doctor Swift's advice I have just switched over to wearing the compression garment only during the day and taking it off for bed, which is a nice change of pace (and certainly makes laundry easier). Numbness is starting to improve a little - last night I had the a funny bout of itchy/burniness and then it went away.
I'm still happy, although I hope that as the final swelling resolves I have a little bit of a flatter result as far as my lower abdomen (immediately below my belly button). Wait and see for the next couple months, I guess!

Happy even after gaining a few pounds

So I gained about 10 lbs after my lipo (which I have subsequently re-lost most of), and I have remained happy with my results through the whole weight swing.
What I wanted from this was a contour change to flatten out the belly fat around/under my belly button, and this area stayed nice and smooth even when I gained some weight (I wasn't six-pack ripped or anything, but the pooch I had retained the same smooth/flattened contour Dr. Swift left it with.
After years of fighting that fat deposit through diet and exercise, lipo was honestly the best five grand I've ever spent.
Just go in knowing what you want and what is possible and choose a great surgeon like Dr. Swift!
