So it's been a while since I've updated... And I'm still not happy. I don't think I would ever reccomend this procedure. I wish I just lost weight the old fashion way.. Diet and exercise. I think my scars are the worst part, just a reminder of how dumb I was to go through with this procedure. I'm still not sure why my doctor thought it was a good idea to make the incisions right in the middle of my stomach (very noticeable and hard to hide). I hate wearing bikinis and if i wear a crop top I have to cover my scars with makeup (that barely works). My scars were raised and hard for the longest time. Just a few months ago I went back to the doctor to see why he did my procedure in that spot and not near the belly button how I see every other doctor on this site has done. He gave me some excuse and then gave me a complementary cortisone shot that was supposed to get rid of the scar lumps. Well.... The lumps went away but now my skin is discolored around the scars. I read that's a side effect of getting a cortisone shot though. Ughhhh such a nightmare. I might look into laser scar removal but I'm not sure yet. My best advice is DONT DO IT AND USE THE MONEY YOU WOULD SPEND ON THIS AND GET A PERSONAL TRAINER INSTEAD!!!!!!!

I am sorry for your scars. I agree with you and I don't understand why your surgeon made a scar where he did. I had a few consult for lipo, and all the surgeons said they would enter through the belly button and down right above the bikini line for the front on the belly. Good luck.

My scars for my stomach ate near my bikini line and up under my breast he also went through my belly button. A strange place for it to be on your sides.

Hello I know it's been over a year you asked me but no I'm not happy. I wish I saved my money. My stomach is lumpy :( I did gain weight since the procedure so I'm hoping the lumps won't be as noticeable once I lose weight. Are you happy with yours yet?

How did your revision ever turn out? My stomach still seems lumpy to me and my scars are very visible. I wish I never did it :/ I hope you have had more luck!

Hello, sorry for the EXTREMELY late response. No I don't. I wish I never did it and just lost the weight the proper way with diet and exercise. My body is scarred up and it's embarrassing when people ask what the scars are from. :(
