I can feel that my abdominal volume has decreased overall, and I am especially satisfied with how the love handle line at my flanks has been cleaned up. I do not bruise easily, so the bruising was all gone within a month. The major swelling also settled early. I can see the scars getting lighter as time goes on. I think they will look much more natural with more time. The whole recovery process went smoothly and there was no real discomfort in daily life. Now that I am at month 6 the line has settled and I am satisfied.
