I kept dieting consistently after surgery and my overall line feels much slimmer and cleaner, so I am very satisfied. In particular my abdomen, love handles and back line have been noticeably cleaned up, so my figure looks much more balanced. I had repeated diets in the past so I was worried about skin firmness, but I think the surgery is why the line came out this well. Early on, for about a month after surgery, there was some discomfort and swelling, but after that I recovered fast enough that daily life was not affected at all. The bruising and swelling also faded naturally over time, and now they are barely noticeable. The love handles that worried me the most were cleaned up so neatly that I feel great when I get dressed or look in the mirror. Overall, the biggest advantage is that the line came in so naturally that people wonder “did she even have surgery?” The scars are only slightly visible if you look very closely, and with consistent care I can feel them fading. I think it will keep getting better with more care, so I am not worried. Overall the recovery process was easier than expected and the result came out naturally, so I am satisfied!
