“Liposuction con - 2nd op to tidy up 1st surgery was a complete disaster”

Liposuction: NOT worth it

Cost: $23,000
Pain: Uncomfortable
Liposuction satisfaction: Poor1 Star Rating: Poor
I do not recommend my Liposuction provider: Name not provided
Why: This person was stuck up and smug, inattentive and blase because she thought she was something special. I mistook this for confidence and professionalism. Bollocks. She also lied and falsified her records.

Scouring secondary liposuction, undertaken to "tidy up" the first was a complete disaster. The approach was aggressive and excessive and I went from a mere FIVE indentations to about a hundred.

I am wrecked. Liposuction ranks in my top three mistakes of a lifetime that I cant undo. I will go to my grave damning the culprit to hell, as she utterly misled me and failed to warn me of the likely results. Id rather be fat and shapeless than look the way I do now ...chewed.

Oh, I sooooo know what you are talking about. I, too, tried to fix my lipo and made things so bad I will never, ever show my legs again. Ever. It's hands down the absolute worst thing I've ever done. I wish I could fix it, but I have no idea how.

Sure bgnv! The London Clinic. However the surgeon responsible uses more than one hospital and unless I want to get done for libel I hadnt better say who she is! I will add that my anger has become a positive motivating force and not only am I getting this crap fixed, I am also publishing to the web the way someone else did. Graphic before and after pics along with an account of the surgeons smug attitude and deplorable behaviour. Nothing will change unless people like me stand up for ourselves. I will not be the victim of someone elses crass behaviour and exploitation. Nor am I rolling over like a stoic, taking it on the chin. Im hitting back. Cosmetic surgery is an industry with insufficient regulation and a qualifing process that is not vigorous enough. Too many surgeons do this stuff who are not ARTISTS by any stretch of the imagination and have no eye or concern for DETAILS. Many do not seem to understand the need to respect the PATIENTS WISHES either. Its supposed to be a collaborative process where treating the patient like an imbecile is frankly unhelpful and offensive. People who assault others and leave them disfigured out here in the regular world get chucked in prison if theyre caught. The same needs to apply to those living in the rarified atmosphere of surgical practise. I get the distinct impression these persons think they are a long way above the rest of us "mere mortals". Ciao.
