Serious Water Retention and Cellulite 1 Year After Liposuction, What Can I Do?

Hello, I was a slim fashion model of 5'9, 130 pounds who had liposuccion done for the purpose of Adistem Stem Cell therapy for Breast Enhancement. Liposuccion was done to me Jan 2011 on my abdomen, butt, legs, thighs. I received the manual liposuccion with microcannulas. 1 year later, I am experiencing massive amount of cellulite that i didn't have before and swelling over the pubic area (similiar to the post surgery). I lost skin elasticity.I am heavily distressed.I am open to all suggestions.

A: Dents and cellulite after liposuction

Remember that 'stem cell' therapy is unproven and currently a marketing tool. Add in that fat grafting to the breast is controvertial, and the results are modest. Now consider that you sacrificed excellent body shape and contour as a slim fashion model in order to obtain fat for questionable benefits and are left with cellulite swelling and dents. There is a lesson here, and a hard one at that.

Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Can I Get Liposuction After Coolsculpting?

love handles and fat on top of coccyx

A: Liposuction after cool sculpting

The results from noninvasive fat contouring such as cool sculpting can be subtle at best. There is no problem having the real thing after an attempt at noninvasive fat reduction with a good result the second time.

Can't Live with Divots & Wavy Thighs 5 Years After Bad Lipo, What Can Be Done?

Dear Doctors, Sorry I can't provide a photo, but I can describe my issue. I had lipo on my inner & outer thighs 5 years ago, and haven't been able to wear a bathing suit since. The lipo caused divots (which look like cellulite) on my outer thighs, & my inner thighs are wavy. I spin 5 days a week, hike etc.. but my legs look horrible! I am not asking for a cure for cellulite, but desperately need some advice on how to improve these divots on my outer thighs, and the wavy inner thighs. Thanks!!

A: Dents and waves after liposuction

The dents and waves on the inner and outer thigh can be the result of poorly done liposuction, though can also result from poor skin elasticiy which makes imperfections more apparent. It might be possible to spot suction the areas, and fat graft where able to smooth out the result. Repairs can be difficult.
