Not what I expected??????????
$8,500
I'm about 6 months post op and I'm unhappy. I knew what to expect going in and did tons of research. Unfortunately I am not a success story. I still have a bulge above my belly button and excess fat on the sides/front. I know the healing process takes time but I should at least look like I had work done besides the scar. I really feel like I wasted my money and went through all the pain for nothing. At this point I don't know what to do and I keep beating myself up for deciding to go through with the surgery. Anyone else go through the regret phase? And if you did what did you do? I need advice b/c I'm upset and unhappy with my results. Going to post a picture of me and my front roll that remains after surgery.

Well it has been about 5 months since my initial surgery and 1 month since having additional lipo with added sutures. Sadly I still have a bulge above my belly button and not flat at all. The bulge is somewhat smaller than it was prior to getting additional work done but it's still there. Needless to say I'm unhappy with my results and regret spending 8500 on it. My PS says he thinks it's just swelling and will go down. Unfortunately I am not as optimistic as him. I really feel like I will have to get a revision and it's not something I'm looking forward to.

Yeah--I definitely see it and why you are unhappy. Did he say what he thinks it is? Fat? skin? muscle? Humph.

I am unhappy b/c the bulge is still there, and I will probably be going for revision #2. He thought it was fat which is why he did the touch up lipo and added a couple of internal sutures. Unfortunately that did not work and I'm concerned now. It is a hard bump that isn't directly under the skin and that makes me think it will require major surgery again.

Ugh, I hear you, I would feel the same way. He does seem to be a very good surgeon so hopefully he can fix the bulge and you will end up with a beautiful result, like you expected. Remember, it is just a bump in the road and not the end of the road. Best of luck!! (I do understand how you feel though, it sucks having to think about a revision).
