Looking into Endermologie

WORTH IT$3,000
I'm like 3 or 4 years post and after some ups and downs in weight, the lipo seems to be worth it. When I got serious about fitness and diet, my lipo areas just shrunk right up. I am now looking into Endermologie for few spots of lumpiness. I've also considered cool sculpting.

Whoopsie, I was around 140 pre-op, not 136! It's been too long ^_^ But I was back up to 143 this last December and am happily down to 128 now :)

I love your results! was the lipo on the thighs and stomach worth it??

Thanks! I only got lipo of the flanks, but I would definitely say both were worth it now that I've gotten serious about fitness. Muscle tone plus the lipo made a huge difference!

Hi, u had scars from lipo that didnt go away? Was this at all the spots or just the abdomen? Thanks
May 15, 2015
Sorry I don't check in often! The two that didn't go away are on the outside hip area. They're still very visible and itch from time to time.

I don't know if you every tried bio oil for scaring. Check Amazon.com there are different scar oils that you may want to try. Even if they don't make them go away completely, they should make a difference. I am getting ready for my own lipo, so reading old and new posts like crazy these days. Your adventure has been helpful.

It's been 2 years, 20lbs lost, 30 lbs gained, and 15lbs lost again to this point. I definitely think after losing the weight this last time the healthy way and working out, that the lipo was worth it and definitely made a difference in my overall outcome of my fitness plan. The only thing I am bummed about is my scars. They are perfectly symmetrical and not even slightly hidden by my bikini or underwear :/ That part sucks and is pretty obvious that I've had work done. I openly admit I've had a breast augmentation (and no one can ever believe it!) but I hate to admit lipo. I am always worried I will be judged in a "well why aren't you skinny/why do you still jiggle/why is your ass still big/why do you still have cellulite?" kind of way. So the fact that my scars are so visible makes me sad. But I do look better in clothing and I am now more of an hourglass than a pear which was my goal! I posted a before (from the dr office) and and after in black and white because I was much more tan in the first photo and I didn't want that skewing how the image was viewed lol
But all in all, I went from 136lbs, a size 8-10 womens/9-13 juniors/large and xlarge in panties/stretchy pants to now 128lbs (that was a healthier lifestyle though, not the lipo!) and a size 4-6 womens/5-7 juniors/medium or large panties/stretchy pants.
It's not necessarily a HUGE difference, but I fit better in clothing that used to struggle to fit over my thighs and I am wearing shorts in public now and wearing skinny jeans and yoga pants which I never in a million years would've done before.

thanks for this posting....i found it especially helpful...couple questions for you...how did gaining and losing weight affect your body post lipo? Did it come back in other areas moreso than in the areas lipo'd? Did your face gain/lose weight any differently? Also, how are your scars today?
thank you!!!

Hi there, sorry I don't check this acct often. When I gained weight, it looked pretty similar to before I had the lipo done to be honest. I did notice I "gain" more weight in my stomach, where I had no lipo, than I did before but it could also be that it looks this way by contrast. When I lost weight, there is a definitely bulge in the right thigh that is pretty evident, but otherwise the lipo helped immensely. I am considering doing coolsculpt on my abdominals now to help if I ever gain weight back. My scars today are still pretty purple and obvious but I am extremely pale, so Im hoping some tanning might hide them better. Good luck!!
