Look better in clothes but it really doesn't matter if you feel like you can't wear shorts or bathing suit. I did this to improve the look of my butt. I thought contouring my thighs would give a better appearance, so did my board certified surgeon.

The pictures say it all. I am 5'3 and 125 lbs, this was only supposed to be a minor procedure.

Updated on Jul 21, 2009:
Has anyone ever gotten a refund for a revision to be done by another doctor?

This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

Helpful review?

My Doctor: name not provided

I called and complained after two months and was not given an appt. for five weeks. Still waiting to hear what he has to say.

This is one of the problem traditional lipo. you should have done laser lipo. I don't think you entitled for refund, since there is no guarantee in any procedure.

ur doctor should give u a free revision. did u check his reviews on rating sights to see what others have to say about his/her work?

Dmd, these are probably not the best of photos to judge from, but I can see a small indentation on your right thigh and the wavey part you point out. The small dent is barely noticeable ... but even so, you paid for a procedure. My advice would be to NOT go back to the same plastic surgeon. Obviously, s/he has not delivered the results you wanted - and it doesn't matter if the revision is free. Do some research and have a consult with someone who does SmartLipo and Vaser Hi Def lipo. These types of lipo are more precise and could possibly be used to smooth out the transition areas better. Good luck in taking the next step. But rest assured, you CAN wear shorts! You have nice thighs.

I have heard of doctors doing free revisions but I've never heard of them giving refunds outright so you can go somewhere else (it may happen; I just haven't heard of it).

Do you have a copy of the contract you signed? That should outline what your rights are.

Good luck. :)

I can see the small indention on the inner thigh. It looks small so I think you could get it fixed with a fat graft...you could even use just filler...like Radiesse if you don't want to do more surgery. Radiesse is expensive and not really a great option if an area is large and will be in need of a lot of the product but yours looks smaller and might be an option. I recommend finding someone that does mesotherapy and is reputable and that will go slow (meaning....very conservative) to smooth out the waviness on the outer thigh. I am dealing with some problems like these and the mesotherapy smoothed out a wavy area on my thigh....which was very nice but I also have some indentations that need a fat graft....so good luck.....I know you did not get the results you are looking for but it looks fixable to me...because the indentations don't look too deep.
