These pics make me sick... So disappointed and such a waste of money.

I previously had an LBL with my surgeon and was ecstatic with the results. It did everything I wanted it to...removed my muffin top and ditched my "pooch" tummy. A few weeks ago I went back to him for a thigh lift. All things considered, and relative to massive weight loss patients, my thighs aren't that bad. But I did have wrinkly, droopy skin on the inside of my thighs, slightly dimpled skin, and perhaps most bothersome, lumpy cellulite on the back of my thighs that showed when I wore tight capris. Dring the consultation he said he could "lightly lipo" the back of my thighs but that it may not do much because the anger of overdoing lipo in the back is it disrupts the crease where the buttocks meets the thigh. Check. Got it. I want no part of that so I understood in my mind at any improvement whatsoever to the back of my thighs would be a bonus. As for the inner thighs, he pulled on the skin and said yes, he could remove the excess skin. The day of surgery he marked me up and away I went. He did a great job ensuring symmetry with the scars side to side (big pet peeve of mine); however, the reality is, my thighs were not pulled as tight as I would like. When I mentioned this to him during a post-op visit he said the skin on the inside of the thighs is thinner and trickier to work with, and that all types of problems ensure when the skin is pulled too tight. So...I am left with what I consider to be a $13k investment with a less than desirable result. I still have dimpled skin. There is laxity on the inside of my legs. And I cannot exercise (which is my outlet) to deal with all of these emotions. My emotions range from anger to disappointment to a deep depression, wondering when the hell I can have a revision surgery to fix it. After having such a successful LBL with this same surgeon and then encountering this, I am at a loss. If he didn't think he could achieve the result I wanted, why wasn't this discussed more in depth during the consult? Do I even try to go back to him for a revision or do I seek out another surgeon? And when?
