Bad Lipo Procedure - Dallas, TX

$4,500

I had liposuction procedure done 2 yrs ago and this is the outcome; ripples and lumps. My PS gave me every excuse in the book. I am now seeking a reconstructive surgeon to help me with this problem.

I know there are no guarantees, but are there any suggestions as to what can fix this problem? Any successful outcomes to a reconstructive procedure similar to the one I am in need of?

May I ask if you do any regular exercise to tighten your stomach? I found that helped a great deal after I had my surgery. Thank you.

What is the name of your surgeon? It is really helpful so people don't go to a surgeon who is not doing a good job. I have an idea of what procedure might help, but first I need to know what type of things were involved. 1. Was power assisted liposuction (PAL), laser, ultrasound or regular suction type liposuction used? 2. How much was removed? 3. What size is the cannula used on your abdomen? 4. How many years of experience does your surgeon have? What made you choose your dr? What area of expertise does the dr claim to have? From there we can go to other options. Note: mentioning the name of the surgeon will not make you liable. Just make sure you don't say "don't go to this dr." Though you can say things like, "I should have never used this dr," or "If I had to chose I would not go to this dr today." In other words you can say what YOU would do and what is YOUR opinion. Showing pictures does not make you liable either.

My stomach looked similar to yours, maybe a little worse but once I was able to start my workouts again the ripples went away. I no longer have them. I do pilates and yoga and recently began running on the treadmill which I never did before. Good luck and hope you see the improvements you are looking for.

Hi, I'm also wondering what the name of your doctor was? I'm going to a doctor in Houston and am worried I might be going to the same person. Please please mention the name.

I wish my stomach looked as good as that! Had liposuction on my abdomen (and I thought hips) 6 weeks ago. Now I have huge lumps on my stomach, the top of my hips feel very tight as if there is no fat left at all (horrible burning sensations) & at the very bottom of my hips are 2 huge bulges that stick out as if they haven't been touched at all. There is also an indented line at the front of my waist making my stomache look like it is sticking out further than before. I look a mess and am too embarrased to show my husband. Now my surgeon wants to perform a second sugery using accu sculpture laser in 3 weeks time. 2 months after my initial surgery. This is after his nursing staff convinced me that the lumps etc would go it would just take 3 months. So why would the doctor want to perform another surgery unless he knew that he had messed up?! What a nightmare. Any help / comments would be gratefully accepted.
