Disfigurement and Dents, Lumps After 8 Months of Smartlipo (Female, 36)? (photo)
I went for smartlipo for ab, thighs and arms. Arms were ok. but, abs and thighs are disfigured badly. Now, I am left with lumps and dents on my ab and disfigured thighs (dent and curved thigh) even after 8 months. When I complained about the same within 3 months, My doctor repeated the same smartlipo surgery on ab and thighs within 3 months of first surgery. Pls help me with solution. I just want natural looking beautiful and even skin that I had, back.
