I've always been thin, except for my huge protuding abdomen. I went for other cosmetic surgery and thought that I might as well get this liposuction done at the same time. After 6 weeks, my stomach looked like a grenade had exploded on it. I had tons of loose skin, yeck! Didn't encounter any problems, just swollen for a few weeks.
It's now been a year later, and much to my dismay, my fat is back 10 fold as bad as it was when I started out. I've only gained 10 extra lbs since the surgery, but I thought the fat would never return. Big mistake, I look worse now than ever. Word of precaution, do your homework, ask questions, don't just go with one consultation!
