I had lipo preformed several years ago. I have thought hard about posting this because of embarrassment. I now have permanent nerve damage, can not feel the skin around my stomach. When I do have feeling it's a nerve itch that can NOT be scratched or alleviated . I have to lay with ice packs to numb my stomach. I have a large dip/hole in my right hip. My skin is lumpy and has a very aged appearance. I was very ill after the procedure for days, by follow up visit felt like they had their money no concern past that point. The machine that was used to help smooth the results broke and they never call to reschedule when it was fixed.

I just want the thighs (saddle bags) he ended talking me into A LOT more. I should have went to someone else, because when I told him about the concerns (listed above) he said it was basically my problem, not his.

Great review?

Thank you so much for sharing! I live in the same area you do & I am currently choosing a cosmetic surgeon. Your doctor was on my list of options but not anymore. I am still proceeding with my surgery but will be even more cautious choosing a doctor. I hope you have filed any complaints legally possible. This behavior by a surgeon is unacceptable & he should not get away with it! Good luck!

Sorry about this experience. I'm a nurse I see this procedure every day. Never see the outcome . I was thinking about it myself, I just made up my mind. Thank you . Hope you feel better .

I am very sorry to hear what happened to you. I also had lipo on my stomach and I am very sorry I did. All this BS on TV! I am hoping that excersize will bring back my nice contour. Good luck to you.

wow i am sorry to hear that...If I were you I would seek legal advice and sue him if your surgery was botched and he did nothing to correct it or even offer to pay you back. This is very unfortunate! Hope your ok!

I am so glad you shared. It really makes me want to tell more about the doctor who did my face-lift and how one side is lower that the other and how I feel he did some other unprofessional nthings to me because he was angry with me for being late and misinterpreting his directions which caused him to have to re-schedule my corrective procedure until the following day. I believe in my heart he intentionally was overly rough with the lipo tool and stretched the skin out on my neck that I had paid 7000 for him to tighten. DeJoseph
