Both old and new incisions lie side by side each other. those new ones are so much smaller and are fading away without forming keloids although they are only a few months old. But those old one are much longer, dark in colour and raised.
so if you are thinking of getting a traditional lipo with GA, please reconsider. Fat removal really shouldnt be painful.
thanks for the input!
I'm arranging for inner thighs+tummy lipo with Nara over 2 days.
I get keloid scars pretty easily and that's my major concern. Nara's nurse mentioned that the scars will be small and hidden in body creases.
@ goodearth: where are your scars? did you do a tummy lipo or...?
@ all forummers: others who have done tumescent lipo on the tummy/thigh areas - how are your scars doing? where ARE they "hidden"?
(PS: Dr Nara uses local anesthesia not GA; his technique is tumescent and as others have pointed out - "traditional" lipo is banned everywhere now.)
Body creases?? No creases in my tummy area. I guess if you have a lot of hanging skin you may have creases.
My scars are on both side of pubic area a little higher. One is hardly visible, just little brown spot, the other one didn't heal so wel. Wound opened up after removing stiches. Now like mark of cigaretburn.
And one more scar inside of bellybutton, not visible.
Results is so so, wouldn't do it again. Still protruding belly and after lipo looks a bit bumpy, like sixpack, but not really lol. Had different expectations, thought tummy would be flat, but it's not.
But then I'm male, diff. for women, they have more subskin fat.
As for bruising or pain, it's not too bad, very well bearable. Had twilight sedation, was asleep all the time. Afterwards no pain, just bruising.
Compression garment is a drag though, had to wear it 3 weeks non stop. I hated it, like trapped in a coccoon.
Good luck and good healing.
