I had a botched vaser lipo plus an unsuccessful corrective with a bleeping family dr. with a fancy laser center. Now what do I do? Someone suggested Dr. Jeff Klein (inventor of the tumescent lipo), but he is a dermatologist. Do I go to a board certified plastic surgeon or a dermatologist for attempted correction? Thanks. Any suggestions appriciated.

Answer: Which specialist should do revisional liposuction Tumescent liposuction was in fact invented by Dr. Jeffrey Klein, a dermatologist. This was a significant advance in improving the safety of liposuction. In all likelihood, extremely experienced dermatologic surgeons have performed revisional liposuction on patients that have been operated on by plastic surgeons, and vice-versa. Complications do occur to patients undergoing surgery by doctors with the best reputation, regardless of specialty. Surgery on the skin and subcutaneous tissue falls within the scope of dermatologists and surgeons. It may be very difficult to revise adverse outcomes and regardless of the surgeon you choose, you may not obtain a satisfactory result. It is very hard to comment on what type of repair you need without an examination. If you see a plastic surgeon, then if it does involve a tummy tuck or hernia revision, that they would be the correct specialty and not a dermatologic surgeon. You do need to ensure that whomever you see is extremely experienced in liposuction.

Answer: Correction of botched liposuction Correction of botched liposuction involves many possible procedures, including for example a tummy tuck with revisional liposuction for the unevenness and thin semi burned and discolored skin so often seen with laser procedures.
