Too Much Fat Taken Out With Abdominal Lipo. What Do You Recommend?

My wife did a liposuction in the Dominican Republic. A local doctor in west palm beach told us that the final result is due because of to much fat taken out. He suggested a tummy talk or to inject feelers because she does not have to much fat that can be use in her body. Any suggestions.

Liposuction irregularities

Unfortunately, this is a prpoblem I hear all too often. When you travel out of the country and are unhappy, what can you do. The only thing to do is hope that someone will try to correct your problem. Sometimes you can do a release of the scarring with liposuction and reinject fat from other areas to correct it. Other times it may be necessary to do a tummy tuck or something in between. I would not use fillers due to cost and they would only last 6-7 months... more
