Horrific Experience - Extremely Painful - Would Not Recommend to Worst Enemy

Can you tell me the name of the Doctor that did the TT? It seems like he did a fantastic job! I would like to have a consultation

I am only 5 weeks out. My abdominals look just like yours after SL. Did you stomach ever flatten or did it always bulge when looking from side? I just want to look better and sleepers in clothes, I am way past bikini.

I'm about a month out from lipo for fat transfer to breast. I can say my stomach is more flat. But I do have the lumpy stuff going on. If you read my full review you can see that my body has been through a lot. I'm probably looking at one more transfer to help repair breast. Vanity can sure make a mess. And use money that could be used on many different things. I will continue to massage to try and prevent tethering and hopefully smooth out my belly. I will get a pic up later today of my belly. Any advise is welcome. You belly looks great! You have been thru a lot as well. Sorry you had such an experience with the first doctor. I love my doc...I'm lucky. Blessings to you and your health.

Omg you are very strong and thank you for sharing your story with us

I am planning my 2nd breast augmentation due to a deflated saline implant done in 2002. I've seen 2 plastic surgeons (dr. Shumway in la jolla and dr. Sarosy in la Mesa). Dr. Shumway's office quoted me $8500 for the remove and replace of the deflated breast and to put a new one in on the other. I'm going silicone this time. Dr. Sarosy's office quoted me $5500. I'd like to know if anyone can recommend another doctor I can consult with.

Looking good!

Wow I'm so srry this hppnd to u but it looks like ur good and hppy nw with everything. god bless u luv n hppy healing n good luck. Mwahz oxoxo

I had the same issues, it's been 2 1/2 years . My skin looks like your, however I have a hard lump on one side of my abdomen, and small lumps throughout. I can feel my scare tissue. I went with another doctor who told me that he felt my skin would not survive a TT, so we did a fat transplant however that didn't work. I feel that I should another consultation. It's been a nightmare your always afraid some will see it. I'm very happy for, I hope someday to feel the same.

WOW! You have been through so much, I am so sorry. I wish more people would understand the real complications with liposuction. I hope this time around you heal well :) Best wishes to you

You look a lot happier and you look great too. I will pray for you that all goes well this time out.

Since I found out about your bad experience with Safelipo I did some research and I discovered its usually reccomended for isolated fat deposits and to help when skin has lost its elasticity. I didn't see any pictures of you before your mishap with safelipo. Did you need a lot of lipo? I hope you don't get offended that I ask. Im just kind of worried since I had Safelipo as well.

I am SO sorry you had to go through all this. I am 41 and two months out from my Smart Lipo, I have the same concerns around the texture of the skin. It seems to get a little better with time but of course I am worried, especially after reading your comments. Did you ever do Smooth Shapes (they told me this is procedure for smoothing cellulite) on your stomach? Or Exilis ( to tighten skin)? Any advice you can give during this phase?

I am so sorry you had to go through all this. I am 41 and two months post Smart Lipo and experiencing the same uneven bumpy texture on my stomach. Did you ever do the Smooth Shapes ( this is what they told me to do, gets rid of cellulite supposedly) on your stomach or Exilis ( to tighten)? What advice/suggestions do you have? You are looking great BTW !
