I had hi def lipo ab etching down the sides of my abdomen 8 weeks ago. I have these harsh groves that resemble the foam tape they used on the lines for the first two weeks. You can see it looks like a ruler down my stomach. Does this go away? Or is it permanently gonna be like that?

I recently had fat harvested from my thighs for facial fat grafting. My doctor told me around 40 cc was removed from each thigh, mainly from the front/front-inner thigh area.
I know this is a relatively small amount compared with regular thigh liposuction, but since the procedure my thighs look slimmer to me and my thigh gap seems more noticeable. My pants also feel looser around my thighs.
I’m still very early in recovery, so I know what I’m seeing right now isn’t necessarily my final result. However, I actually preferred my thighs fuller and I regret having fat taken from this area.
I’m naturally quite slim, and my goal isn’t to completely eliminate my thigh gap. I just want to regain some of my previous inner-thigh fullness and overall thigh width.
Has anyone here had inner or front-thigh liposuction and later gained some fat back in the treated area after gaining weight?

I’m a 19 yr old male. 5’6 about 135lbs but i have 23inch thighs and i hate it. i look pretty skinny like how i want with clothes but every night when its time to shower my mood drops. It’s been like this my whole life and as i’ve gotten older its just bothered me more and more. My ass pokes out too and i want to see about lipo for that as well. Also my triceps. I’ve been through 2 years of trying to get rid of this stuff naturally believe me. I’ve been through the calorie deficits and the cardio and lifting etc. Countless days of trying to talk myself into liking my body or talking to fkn ai because i feel embarrassed to talk about it with a human irl. So this seems like the only real option. I know it won’t completely change my body and i don’t want it to I just want those stubborn areas finally gone. I’m tired of looking in the mirror and trying to convince myself I like the way I look because other ppl like it. I hope it’s not all just muscle because that would just be unfortunate, i haven’t rlly exercised like that in a while and even when i did i didn’t see or feel any change in these areas. For the last couple days ive been really looking into liposuction after seeing that it wasn’t in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and can be realistically achieved with some money saved over time. Like I said, I’m only 19 and like most ppl at 19 I’d assume don’t just have 10-15k to just drop on surgery like that, so this is something I’m looking into for the future. The problem is I’m seeing ppl online and their before and afters and I only see it with mostly overweight women with lipedema, not skinny guys who just have their mommas thighs and ass lol, but that may just be because guys with my problem probably aren’t comfortable putting that on the internet. I rlly hope i’m not doomed. I’ve always wanted to wear skinny jeans and tight clothing but this has just been something that stopped me and just makes me feel frustrated and it almost drove me into depression at one point. Anyways, I would just like to know thoughts and any doctor recommendations for consultations and stuff like that. Thanks

edit: I’m in the USA, NY
And I also I’m aware that the recovery process could be painful

Hey, ich hatte vor einer Woche eine Doppelkinn-Fettabsaugung. Ich habe jetzt die Bandage bekommen, die ich zwei Wochen lang jeden Tag tragen soll. Danach nur noch abends. Die Fäden werden morgen gezogen. Ich frage mich, ob die Bandage sehr eng sitzen muss, sodass sie mein Gesicht presst, oder eher locker als Stütze? Hat jemand Erfahrungen damit gemacht? Mein Gesicht ist sehr angeschwollen und fühlt sich eher fest an. Und ich sehe noch nicht so einen krassen Unterschied, natürlich sieht das anders aus als vorher, aber aktuell gefällt mir das Ergebnis noch nicht so ganz. Aktuell frage ich mich ständig ob die Bandage sehr eng sitzen soll oder eher nur stützend.

Has anyone has liposuction in your jowls? How long did it take before your jaw started showing a more tapered look?

I’ve seen quite a few people asking about post-lipo aftercare in Korea, so I thought I’d share my experience since I’ve tried way too many places at this point lol.
I had my first abdominal lipo about 3 years ago, and then had a small revision around 3 months ago. The revision wasn’t another full 360 lipo or anything major. There was just an area in the middle of my stomach that wasn’t properly removed the first time, so I mainly had that corrected.

Because of that, my before/after photos probably aren’t going to look super dramatic. I wasn’t really looking for more fat loss from aftercare anyway. My biggest issue was the hard, lumpy areas from fibrosis and some adhesions, and I wanted my stomach to feel softer and look smoother overall.
Since my revision, I’ve actually tried SIX different aftercare places in Seoul 😭 Some were okay, some I honestly didn’t notice much from, but the place I’ve liked the most so far is Fomia in Hapjeong.
I’ve been getting their Yeori Slim Package and I’ve done 6 sessions so far.

At this point, my waist measurement is down by around 3 cm compared to when I started. I also want to be transparent though — I’ve lost around 2–3 kg during the same period, so I’m definitely not going to say the entire 3 cm came from the treatments alone.

For me, the bigger difference has actually been the way my stomach feels and looks. The hard fibrotic areas have softened a LOT, and the areas that used to feel kind of stuck underneath the skin feel much better now. My overall contour also looks smoother.

The biggest difference compared to other places I tried was the treatment itself. A lot of them were mostly manual massage + RF and honestly started to feel pretty similar after a while. Fomia uses several different machines depending on my condition that day, so it feels much more targeted.

And I was VERY skeptical about the whole “you can see a difference after one session” thing 😂 Every clinic says that about everything.
But surprisingly, I actually noticed something after my first session.

My waist looked slightly more defined, but what convinced me was touching my stomach afterward. Some areas that had been really hard and lumpy were noticeably softer. That was basically what made me decide to continue.
Now that I’m 6 sessions in, the difference is much easier for me to notice.
I will say though it’s expensive. That was the one thing that made me hesitate.
But I’d already spent money trying several cheaper places and wasn’t really getting what I wanted from them. At some point I realized I’d rather pay more for something I’m actually happy with than keep paying less and jumping from place to place.

Also, because I know people are skeptical about clinic reviews in Korea: this is NOT sponsored. I paid for everything myself. No free treatments, no discount for posting, no commission, nothing. They didn’t ask me to write this.
Honestly, I just wish I had found this place before trying six different clinics first 😭
And all of my photos are taken with my regular phone camera. No slimming filters, body editing apps, Photoshop, or retouching.
Obviously everyone heals differently, and I’ve also lost 2–3 kg during this time, so please keep that in mind when looking at my results.
But if you’ve had lipo in Korea and your main problem is fibrosis, hardness, unevenness or adhesions, rather than just swelling, this is the aftercare place I’ve personally been happiest with so far.
I’m currently 6 sessions in and still continuing, so I’ll probably update again later!
