At 6 months the swelling and bruising are almost entirely gone and my abdominal line is smooth. With the flesh on my sides gone, my clothes look cleaner too. I am so glad I did the abdomen and love handles together. I wear fitted tops and crop tees with more confidence than before. My pants size dropped by one as well. With a slimmer waistline my overall proportions seem better too, haha The line across the back of the waist is hard to slim down with dieting, but that came off too, and now I can wear waist-baring clothes without a second thought, which I love. People around me often tell me I lost weight ^^
