Abdomen Smart Lipo in Southern California - Temecula, CA

A little over 8 months post op...

Not much new to report, except that my results have continued to maintain. One of the things that I was worried about was that either the results would not maintain, or that I would gain weight in a weird way. When I look at older pictures, the results really did only get better. The skin tightened up a bit more and I have more definition in my abdomen area than I did a month or so after surgery. I have had no pain, discomfort or any other unpleasant results from the surgery. My only regret - I didn't do this sooner.

4 months later...

I have a little more than 4 months post op and could not be happier with my results. To me, the results look natural (e.g., I still have a bit of a curve to my stomach) and any bumps that were present before are completely gone. I went on vacation about one month after surgery and spent most of my time in a bathing suit and in the pool or ocean. I was gone for about two weeks and during that time, I pretty much finished healing. After the month mark, I didn't have any swelling, bumps, pain, or any other signs of surgery. I have one very small scar on my abdomen, but it is hardly noticeable. The two scars in my groin area are nearly invisible and can only be seen when I am naked.

I did three endo massages and another regular massage about 2 1/2 weeks after the surgery. I was also massaging several times a day. I'm not sure if this did anything to help speed recovery, but it helped smooth some of the bumps out at the time. I wore spanx off and on in the two weeks after surgery and the month mark. I wore the compression garment pretty religiously for the first two weeks, especially a night.

I would definitely do this again, and am sorry I didn't do it sooner.

One more thing...after about a month my results pretty much leveled off (I just forgot to post pictures).
