Ok, I always worked out since I was in my 20's....

layla 1234October 3, 2014
Ok, I always worked out since I was in my 20's. Then when I had my first child in my mid 20"s my body still looked amazing. After I had my second baby in my early 30's my body change, I couldn't get rid off my love
handles-- I called them bunny ears. I would look deformed. I would always work out a lot
and my body would look amazing except my love handles wouldn't go away. So I decided to get lipo on my love handles and my waist.
Since my phone got stolen, I can't show u how I looked before but I will continue looking for my old pictures. I will post them as soon as I find some. I was always skinny but tone and a little curvy, which im very happy till this day. But now I want a bbl but im afraid of my husband lol. I haven't mention it to him since I don't want us to argue cuz I know we will. So I guess is a no to bbl. This procedure that I did, I didn't behind my husband's back, he didn't know I was getting lipo, I told him I was having surgery do to a cyst and he believed me. But two weeks later I told him the truth, Since I got depress, which is common due to surgery, some people go thru depression but it goes away. So when I told him the truth, he was sooooo freaking upset lol. So I know he won't let me get bbl. :(oh well. I guess im staying with my little butt. Lol

Thank you. I never ask the doctor how much he removed. I can tell you it was a full handful on each side of my flanks(love handles) and a little around my waist that doctor removed. Hope that helps.

You know, it took me 4 years to get my husband to be ok with me getting a bbl. I am getting one soon :)

Hi, Thank you, i hope i have the same luck as you :) . Yes I wish my husband would let me. Im scare to ask him lol. To be honest I hate arguments. Sometimes I think I shouldn't get bbl and hips, since im 41. All you girls are young and look good regardless. Im just happy I got rid of my love handles and a little bit from my waist. I workout almost everyday, hoping for my butt to tone and get a little bigger.

Hi. You look great. How long did it take for you to look like that ? Did you have any lose skin after the first 4 weeks ?
layla 1234

Hi Gbz ... I didnt get any lose skin during or after. It took me about 6 or maybe 7 weeks to look like this. The first two weeks i was swollen and my body look deform, I was scared I was going to stay that way lol.

I'm at 5 weeks. Overall in pleased but whs. I sit I have excess skin ripples. Hoping they subside. Can't start crunches for another week. Aghhh
layla 1234
October 5, 2014
Gbz do you have ripples/dents on ur stomach or love handles?. Also, I didn't get lipo on my stomach due to fear of ripples/dents. There course do to removing t ooo much fat close to the the skin. Doctors should know not to get to close to the surface fat next to the skin or uneven fat remove couses ripples/ dents. Now, if you have lose skin , u might need mini tummytuck. But lets just wait and hope you won't need it and ur ripples go away. Try to massage it ever day and wear a training waist gear(faja). I wear mine during bed time. Just give it some time to go away since is still fresh and lets cross our fingers it will go away in time. But do massage it and wear the faja during the day or at night , so it can tight and shape ur waist. Dont worry to much, just be patient . You'll be fine

I meant to say on my third sentence is the cause of ripples and dents are cause by removing to much fat near the skin or removing uneven fat ( some fat left).

Thank u. I'm hoping. I wear my compression garment 24 7 with foam at night. He didn't take too much out and if I stand it looks awesome. No debts or lumps just little rolls when I sit. Hope skin tightens . I keep telling myself it's only 5 weeks. I'm seeing my ps on Friday so I'll ask what he projects will happen. He didn't take a lot out said there wasn't that much but he did sculpt me. :)

They're like little rolls only when I'm sitting at the lower abdoman. I do ultrasound daily at my offices so I managed to get rid of lumps immediately

Im glad ur happy with ur results. I think you'll be fine. We just get anxious and forget we need to be patient lol. You can feel free to ask me anything. I've done research in a lot of parts of body and including face fillers and so fourth. I haven't done anything to my face yet but I know my stuff now... pros n cons. Lol.
Gbz
October 5, 2014
That's awesome. Thank you. I'm planning in getting fillers on my laugh lines soon I'll wait 1 more year I did get Botox and juverdem on my forehead and it was the best decision.
Gbz
October 5, 2014
The other thing is when can I start with my ab work outs? I think if I work on the muscle it may diminish the little rolls I get when I sit. And did yo gain weight after lipo if so did it go to same areas ? I lost 3 pounds after lipo
layla 1234

Maybe ur doctor didn't suction all the fat from ur lower abdomen. Or did u by any chance get c-section-- not sure if u have kids. Or in time will get tighter, when u start working out.
layla 1234

Ones u start working out, I think you'll be fine. Drink a lot of water and eat cantaloupe ( flushes always all the sodium in ur system), eat Texas grapefruit ( is like acid, so it will diminish stubborn fat) u can get a juice squeezer, one in the morning after breakfast and the other one eat it after lunch or dinner. Drink water with lemon too.
Gbz

No no kids. He couldn't take any more out. I'm 5'7 and weighed 116. lol Now I'm at 114. I'm hoping these little rolls tighten up. Will find out prognosis Friday keep your fingers crossed.

Whatever you do on ur face make sure is only HA like juvederm, restylane( HA only last between 6 to 9 months, sometimes they say it can last 12 months). . All other long lasting fillers become to firm causing fat atrophy, skin stretch, strange textures and FACIAL AGING! Long lasting fillers are more likely to result in lumps and of course the longer to go away. Horrible effects on ur face.

Also, make sure doctor uses blunt tip cannula for fillers injection. MINIMAL BRUISE.

Sorry, my phone was stolen, so I lost all my pictures. Doctor only removed my love handles(wasn't much fat) and made my waist a little smaller. I had stubborn fat that wouldn't go away. I always worked out but my stubborn fat never went away.

I've been reading ur conversation with gbz and the part where you two were talking about rippling of the stomach caught my attention. So I'm doing upper lower abs flanks and bra roll. My surgeon told me my lower abs might not be as smooth as smooth as it is now but everywhere else should be fine. I am stressing about the whole rippling thing.
Gbz
October 6, 2014
Ask him what he means. I don't notice rippling or irregularities just little rolls when I sit forward naked. I'm hoping the skin will tighten there.

Hi Kglam, ok, I know a few of my friends that did lipo on their stomach did get that wrinkly, dents, dimples on their stomach(whatever is called) I never did lipo on my stomach since I didn't need it. But going back to ur question, yes theres a a chance for ur stomach to get that. Now, for ur lower stomach if ur doctor told u that ur lower stomach skin then it will be lose(but lets cross our finger that it wont). Normally doctors know bcuz they pull ur skin and if it feels hard and snaps back to place quick is good news, if it feels thin and doesn't snap back quick ones he pulls skin is not good news. Did u have any kids and /or c-section? Now, the reason patients get dimples, dents, ripples is due to doctors not smoothing out all the fat and/or removing to much fat near the surface of ur stomach skin. You need to trust ur doctor and look at all he's before and after pictures- make sure ther not photoshop-- some doctors do that.

Also, keep in mind everyone reacts and get different results after procedures , due to their skin type.

October 6, 2014
No I have no kids and I'm not over weight. I just can't seem to get a totally flat tummy. Pretty much just wanna spulpt my body into an hour glass figure lol. I was so desapointing to hear because I just want that perfect body and not being over weight I thought I'd be perfect candidate. I'll have to do what gbz said and just ask him more questions about the wrinkling. I'm pretty sure he said it would be caused from my skin lacticity.
Kglam
October 6, 2014
Hi gbz. Are your rolls on your lower abdomen? Yes I def need to ask go and ask more questions on it.
layla 1234
October 6, 2014
Yes, ask as many questions, get a notebook and start writing them down and don't forget to write what he says in the notebook - that's what I did. Also, just so u know, I have a very small part on my lower stomach that is loose so to my c-section but it doesn't bother me since my bikini covers it--no one can see it but me. It only gets a little loose when im sitting. So if u have it as low as me, you'll be fine- trust me. I wouldnt suggest a mini tummy tuck.
Kglam
October 6, 2014
Yea if it's not noticble in a bikini then thats fine. I asked him if I should get a mini tummy tuck and he told me that I don't need one. So maybe it's not gna be all that bad. But yes Im def gna go in and ask ton of questions just to be sure. You've been helpful. Thank you :)
layla 1234
October 6, 2014
You are very welcome. Take a bikini bottom to show him if it will cover the lower part of ur stomach. You'll be fine, so don't stress ;)

The tiny rolls are in the lower abs only when sitting forward. Ie on toilet. Otherwise can't see them.
