2 Months After Lipo Very Concerned About Results - Dallas, TX

Would you consider asking the physician if he can guarantee the type of results you want and/or have another cosmetic surgeon he knows that is more comfortable doing liposuction in that area - to tag-team/oversee the surgery with him, at his expense, to ensure proper results. For $15k you deserve something better than what you got. I had liposuction done way back when - but mine was inexpensive, $2200 for inner and outer thighs and flanks. I also paid an extra $300 for inner knees, but I didn't see a different with the inner knees. In fact, the doctor tried to discourage me from that, but I insisted... . Maybe Google online "corrective liposuction surgeons or such). Good luck and keep us in the loop. P.S. are you able to share the name of the Dallas surgeon? I just moved to TX recently. Thanks.

I am so sorry for you! Have you seen any doctors that might be able to fix you? Please update.

Hi there, I sent u a private message ;)

oh i'm so sorry about your result with the lipo. im 32 yo 5'2" 125 lb and had my knees and legs done by one of the top docs in the northeast. i'm about 10 days post op. How rae you doing now? Do you remember what garments you wore?

Why would a person need a fat transfer to the labia majora? Never heard of that. Also, I am so sorry you are going through this all. I have also had some cosmetic surgery done that I regret. I can say though, in your case, while you are depressed about it - always remember things could be worse (ie: had cosmetic surgery on your face turn out differently than you liked). At least with your legs, you can cover them up. I personally would have the dude remove the roll part at the top. Once he gets rid of that, it should look a lot better. I would hold him to it, however. What all did you have done for $15,000? That seems steep for just lipo, though you said he did a fat transplant to your labia majora.

I find it interesting that he claimed you weren't a good candidate for lipo... you look like you have great skin quality, you're young and you only had a small amount of fat to be removed. Those things make you an ideal candidate.
He's just trying to shift the blame!
I'm sorry you aren't happy with the result. If it makes you feel better, your after is better than my now!

I agree with the other girls to wait until the six month mark. Also, walk walk walk everyday. That helps circulation and may help any bulges go down if that's what they are

You can get fat grafting. Search for the posting called "Very Bad Lipo Result - Marietta, GA" on RealSelf site. You can see improvements that another girl had after lipo gone bad. Dr. Coleman in New York does this procedure. After you read the post you will see not to let just anyone do fat grafting...some surgeons don't know how to do it effectively. If you get a consult for fat grafting make sure you ask for before and after pictures. Dr. Coleman has good results as far as I can see, but is expensive. Good luck! Your legs don't look bad enough to not wear short. There is a slight difference, but not too bad. I think you will have good luck with fat grafting.

Hey girl, I know what you go threw, believe me. I was 19 when I had my lipo, I saved the money with my job as bartender, even if i was very skinny and did sport every day, i just always kept in proportion "big legs". I hated it, and therefor had the lipo done. I agreed to have my inner and outer upper legs done, and a little bit of my love handles, when i wake up he told me he also did my knees and belly "for free", actually i wasn't happy with that, since i liked my knees and i barely had any fat on my belly (168cm, 51 kilo). I never had any cellulite, the first 3 weeks after lipo I was happy because it looked like me shape was improved, after that i started to notice lumps and bumps, it looked like i had cellulite everywhere he removed the fat. I was so so soooo upset, but always tried to stay positive, believing that there would someone or some procedure that could improve the result. In the end for 4 years i spend a lot of money on treatments like massage/ultrasound and those kind of things, honestly it didn't work for my problem. (with ultrasound i seemed to loose fat, but the cellulite stayed). Now this monday, i will have secondary liposuction and fat transfer! I hope the doctor can improve my legs and make them ready for the beach this summer or maybe at least next year, i haven't been to the beach or swimming pool with friends/family for 4 years because i didn't want to admit to them i had lipo because the result looked so bad in compare with how i looked before, i felt a shame. I will let you know if my doctor was able to make an improvement.

btw i am sure dr. coleman can give you a good result. on his website there is a girl similar to you, he improved her very much, though he quotes about 18000 use!

i do think with your before shape your dr should have done a better job ... maybe a bbl (fat transfer) not so much for the butt transfer but to fill in your hips some, your legs will appear much nicer with a semi hour glass shape. and also a pretty tan will make your legs look better and hide imperfection.
