I'm finally getting lipo of my stomach and flanks. I have been wanting this for years but as I get older I'm working harder at the gym and my waistline and 4 pack abs are disappearing more and more each year. I don't want to be 50 with a pooch, so this is also preventative. I don't have stretchmarks or a lot of loose skin so a tummy tuck is not needed.

I have no idea why the pics are sideways. Smh I don't usually post my personal business, but I thought I might be able to help someone make a decision that's in the same category as me. People always tell me I'm crazy and I don't need anything done. But my flanks have been poking out of clothes since forever. Now, my tummy is getting harder to stay flat and maintain definition (4 pack) even tho I eat well and work out 3-4 days a week. I think it's pre-menopausal weight settlement and I'm nipping it in the bud before it gets out is control. Being slim w a belly is not cute.

We are shaped very similarly. I m doing the same thing for the same reason. People keep telling me the same thing you are hearing. I am 48 and I was shaped just like you when I was 45. It has gotten a bit worse the last 3 years. Do the makes you happy.

Having second thoughts

Sosodef123
I'm really concerned about not seeing a big difference in my waistline. Some before and after photos of slimmer people look pretty much the same. I'm also concerned about recovery. I hear that being awake is the best way to go. I usually recover from stuff pretty well, but I'm older now so I'm a little scared. Im going to pay the full amount monday so I cant back out. Im really going to stress to the doctor to take out as much fat as possible from my waistline.

I have heard totally opposite...It may depend on how much lipo you're having done. I'm having 13 areas and a BBL on the 19th. It is my understanding I will be under the entire time.
June 7, 2017
Yes 13 areas and bbl is a must for sleep. Im getting my tummy and flanks done. local is the norm for those areas. Im just terrified now. Im going to follow your results!! I know you are excited!!!
June 7, 2017
Please do, Sister! I will follow and pray for a positive outcome for you as well!

I'm looking at your pictures...Our bodies are very similar. I thought about lipo only, but decided since I was going under, I may as well put that junk in the trunk....Lol!

I don't blame you. Might as well go for it lololol
