I am sorry that I never saw your question. It's after the fact, but my answer is yes...to a degree. It takes a lot longer than people think for everything to heal and to see your final results. By now you should be around the 6 month point and know how you are going to look although you will continue to get slight improvement now for the first year.

I am doing wonderful, thank u. I am very pleased

Wow! You look great! And I can't believe it was only 3k! I don't think I could get that price in FL. Of course, most of the reason you look great is you take good care of yourself (diet,exercise) and your genetics, too! I am 57 and haven't been as diligent, and I inherited my mom's loose, Thin skin and under eye bags. I would probably need a tummy tuck in addition.... Congrats on your great results'

I had a touch up about a year ago, at no cost, to fine tune a few things. I am almost 63 now and so glad I did this for myself!

Had a touch up done around my "belly button" area, about the size of a small plate, this past Thursday Oct.6th under local anesthetic.

The actual suctioning lasted about 15-20 minutes and one small incision. I felt no pain during the procedure and was able to drive home. I was under general anesthetic the first time so this was a very strange experience for me.

I have only a little, very faint bruising which you can hardly see because of my tan. Recovery this time is quite easy and I was back to work on Monday and today (Wednesday) most of the soreness is already gone. I have my post-op check tomorrow.

My doctor does feel it is necessary to wear my abdominal binder for 6 weeks again. I don't mind it that much and I want to make sure I have the best possible result.

FYI, I was told I could go back to work the next day but the office was closed and I didn't have to work anyway. My personal opinion is take that next day off if you can. I felt a little worn out the day of and the next day and then bounced right back.

I will post pictures in a couple weeks, the swelling is not a lot but still comes and goes.
