This is NOT a lunchtime procedure as many of these "set up shop" doctors are claiming. Also, use a well known plastic surgeon. I am not deformed for life. I was not a big person to begin with, but wanted some extra flab taken off my tummy and inner knees. I was convinced to do the inner thighes because they claimed that I would look "off" with only the knees trimmed up; however, this particular doctor claimed that the mid thigh region was unsafe for lipo and said he would not touch that are. Well as you can imagine, i look like two ice cream scoops removed some fat in the knee area and the upper thigh. I look like a wavy mess with four incision sights inside my thighs. I can't imagine ever wearing a bathing suit again, let alone a bikini after getting some taken off the tummy (which is a whole other ball of uneven wax). I had a nice body before all this. Now I have a sad looking body.

Not a plastic surgeon and should not be performing these procedures.

Thanks for updating, Turkeybirdbaby, I'm just sorry you weren't able to share better news. :( I don't know if you're considering any revisions, but it's possible to get fat transfer to fill in divots.

Good luck and please keep us posted on how you're doing.

Thank you for this post. I think everybody should know about consequences of liposuction. Cheer up, you are so brave! There are so many devices, programs and solutions nowadays. An most of them just want your money and don't provide promised effect. You can see on a Flattenbelly site - all the list of machines, programs and belts of different kinds (there are hundreds of them!), read reviews and decide what to choose. But my personal advice is not to buy all this stuff and go with a slow, but natural way: dieting and exercises. And liposuction, lap bands and other surgical methods are good only when it's a serious obesity case.

I am getting a procedure done by dr commons of palo alto read about his practice. He was the vaser pioneer but he is a very loving sweet man that can be trusted. He is FACS and AM board of plastic surgery also. He can fix anything. He has 30 years of experience a d has taught the residents of Stanford plastic surgery. He would give you a free consult. I know it's far but I believe you should check out George commons website. I have no affiliation I feel bad it didn't go well for you. - to improve you happiness consider it - just trying to help. I'm going in for vaser/ tumescent next thur - good luck. Your kids love you no matter what :) that's wonderful

Hi there. I know how upset you might be...I too had vaser and wasn't left with what I expected. I had my surgery done in Houston as well, and I was wondering if your doctor was the same one as mine. Would you mind telling me who it was?
