I've always struggled with the fat above my C-section incision. Losing weight didn't help. Didn't want a Tummy Tuck but didn't think there was any other alternative. Dr. Pousti informed he could remove the fat & skin about my incision. I'm one week out and although the drains are uncomfortable, I've had relatively zero pain from the procedure.

Lipectomy to remove C-Section Pooch

I got my drains taken out on Friday, 10 days after surgery. A few injections to numb the area made the removal painless. Saw my incision for the first time. Not pretty but I can already see my "pooch" is gone. There's some swelling but Dr. Pousti told me that will subside & I'll be even happier with my results. I've had almost NO pain with my incision. I could probably even do sit ups...but I won't. Not yet. Dr. Pousti & his staff have been wonderful. They have taken very good care of me!
