Smart Lipo scheduled for 1/19/22 to treat fat around my abdomen and upper arms

I've been researching cool and warm sculpting to help with some stubborn areas of fat around my abdomen. I am not a good candidate for those procedures, because of a large vertical scar I have from previous abdominal surgery.

I researched tummy tucks and lipo, and have decided to go forward with Smart lipo, because it I supposed to help with skin tightening too.

I would like the results of a tummy tuck, but I'm just not wanting to add another large scar to my collection!

Adding some pics. The dreaded “before” pics!
Due to a prior, unrelated surgery, I have a long, vertical scar from just above my navel, all the way down to the top of my girlie parts.
Because of this scar, I am not a good candidate for cool sculpting. I had two consults for cool sculpting and the recommendations were the same. Both surgeons I spoke to recommended a tummy tuck, but I didn’t want to trade a long vertical scar, which I’ve had lasered multiple times to flatten and lighten, for a long horizontal scar. The new scar would likely take about five years to lighten, given my tendency to develop hypertrophic scars.
I’ve opted to try smart lipo, which removes the targeted fat, and is supposed to have skin tightening properties also.
I expect to have some loose skin, especially on my lower abdomen.
I am having my entire torso, front and back treated, as well as my upper arms.
I added the arms at my pre-op appointment.

For the record, I had every intent of losing a few pounds and doing plank every day before the procedure, but psychologically, I was thinking that I’m going to get the fat removed anyway, so why put in the effort before? So, unfortunately I’m going in to this weighing about 150 with 29% body fat.

Thank you for following my journey!

Also, I started taking arnica Montana a week ago and bromelian today. Hopefully to help with bruising.
