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.

Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

	“Big Mistake - Des Plaines, IL” I had liposuction on my stomach, sides, arms, inner thighs and back of the thigh on one leg. It is an extremely painful recovery and wearing the Spanx drove me crazy but I wore them for 8 weeks after the surgery. This surgery was also a huge waste of money. I am 5'4" and was 125 pounds before surgery. After surgery I dropped five pounds because I was in so much pain, I didn't... more
	“Lipo-Ex Side Effects- Hard Bump, Red...” I have had 3 Lipo-Ex treatments (radio frequency - fat melt) of the abdomen. The first 2 were without pain or side effects. However, the third I had a different technician and felt the procedure was warmer, and rougher. After the 3rd treatment my abs were a little sore, 3 days after the treatment I have noticed a hard bump/lump that is round in the lower part of my stomach just above my... more

Had absolutely phenomenal results -- went from a size 14 down to a 10 in 2 months.

All the new weight went to my chest and stomach, and... more
	“Correcting a Botched Liposuction...” I was not happy with the way my clothes fitted me. I went through a botched liposuction of the flanks procedure by a inexperienced PS, which left uneven results. I was very sceptical and carefully took my time finding a PS to help me for my correction. I had chosen Dr. Ross for the correction and I couldn't have made a wiser decision. It took one procedure and I chose to go a... more

	“Lipo - Des Plaines, IL” As a busy working Mother with a young child I could not get my stomach to go down and flatten pre-baby. It not only worked but was a pleasant all round experience.

That makes a huge difference when you choose to have surgery and you have that type of support to see you through more
	“Best Decision of my (Adult) Life! -...” Going to the gym everyday, changing my life style and my eating habits was just not enough. Love handles and a spare tire was not what I wanted to carry around on my thin legs and frame anymore. I knew it had to go!

	“Breast Reduction and Lipo Have Left...” I had liposuction on my abs at the same time as a breast reduction. The reduction was needed to reduce back/neck strain and allow me to progress with more physical activity in my weight loss.

I didn't want depression over that to set in while I was happy to get the much... more
