Palm Springs Liposuction doctors

I’m sorry to hear about your bad experience with liposuction! While liposuction is considered a “simple” procedure, it has risks that are often underestimated. Contour irregularities (or dents, lumpiness) can occur, and improvement typically requires fat grafting to certain areas, and possibly additional liposuction to others. It really depends on what you look like now, and how long it has been since your last surgery. Sometimes correction of lumps and dents can require more than one surgery, and a fee of $7000 is actually not high at all for revisional surgery. It is important to know there are limits to how much fat can be taken out with liposuction, and still have a good result. Dents and irregularities happen when either too much is taken out, or fat is taken too close to the skin. You need some fat, even if it’s a thin layer, to keep a nice smooth contour. It is there for a reason, and not every fat droplet should be removed. It can be difficult to fix, but there is hope. If you don’t feel comfortable with the two surgeons you have consulted with, you can always seek out a third opinion, or post photos with your questions to get a more detailed answer online. I would recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery for this type of procedure, and ask if he or she has experience with revision liposuction.

Liposuction can be very effective at reshaping your figure. How many inches you lose from your waist with liposction depends on how much fat you have in that region. Losing 5 or 6 inches from your waist may or may not be feasible with liposuction alone. Liposuction removes extra-abdominal fat only, so if you carry a lot of intra-abdominal weight then liposuction will not give your the results you want. Also, a 24 inch waist is quite small, and is not necessarily attainable with liposuction or weight loss in all people. Depending on your genetics, frame, and body type. it may or may not be a feasible goal. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to see if this is an achievable and safe goal for you. Good luck!
