I had THE LSL on Monday the 26th. I am experiencing unbelievable amount of pain brusing and swelling. I am concerned but the docotors keep telling me this is normal. READING some of the horror stories is making me worried sick, as I WOULD VERY much like some feedback on the procedures went bad and what I should look out for......

I believe mine is going bad & want to know any signs info etc/because obviously I was herded in there and now the results arent as they seem!~


I am new to this blog thing

But anyone with a procedure gone bad please post back with details...
Thank you so very much

FOR GUEST REPLYING TO AVA ON JULY 4, 2007 I can empathize with your experience. Mine was very very similar with swelling, bruising, excess fluid and infection. I put up with it for a week before the LSL doctor would finally see me, (also telling me it was all normal and practically calling me a baby) and by then I was really in trouble, the stitching had become imbedded in the swollen flesh and I had a bad infection from circulation being cut off to some of the swollen skin. and before someone from LSL posts here posing as a 'user' I will tell you it was the Washington DC / VA office I was at. And NO the results are not worth it - why - because 9 months later - there are NO visible results.... unless you want to count the scars I have around the ears.
