Very Bad Lipo Result - Marietta, GA

I have consulted with 4 different surgeons. One recommended extracting fat cells, using some now and freezing the rest for future grafts (afraid to go this route and lose precious fat cells). Another recommended fat transfers and also cutting out damaged area and lifting the thigh up. This will obviously leave scars so I am nervous about this solution also. Another recommended fat transfers and then using a permanent filler as needed. Another recommended fat transfers which I may try, even though I haven't had any success. Hopefully it was Dr. Lintner's lack of skill and not the absence of blood vessels, supporting tissue, etc in the area that needs to be injected with fat. I have consulted with a renown fat transfer expert in NY, but unsure if that is the Dr. I will proceed with. I have one chance to get this right with the fat transfer since I am missing so much in that area now and don't want to make a wrong choice. I hate what has happened to me and hope my experience will prevent anyone else from allowing this Dr. to mutilate them. Inner/outer thigh lipo does not and should NEVER consist of lipo'ing the backs of the thighs.
I am hoping these message boards will give insight of a good solution and competent physician that has corrected these type of problems in other patients.

This exact same thing happened to me. Exactly. I can't afford to fix mine. Glad you've found improvement.

I had this done about 15 years ago by a surgeon in the Towson, MD area that has since retired. I wanted my knees done. When I woke up, I had stitches right below my butt, and he said that he had to go all the way up from the knee, inner thigh, even flanks. I am so sad. I am a fitness trainer now, and I have the absolute best butt I could possibly have at 50. I thought it was my age, but as I see what has happened to others, and look at my clients my age, I see that I lost too much fat under there and he ruined my connective tissue. I have consulted for butt lift, but I don't want so many scars. It looks so strange for someone in my kind of shape to have this damn ridge under my butt. Bless you for all that you have been through trying to fix it. I can't afford it right now, and the recovery is too much.

Sorry this happened to you, and thanks for sharing! Why did you go to Doctor Cole? Isn't there anyone good here in Atlanta for fat grafting? It cost you 25K for the fat transfer? You look good, btw.

Dr. Sydney Coleman is best to fix this

gosh! scary to read these negative outcomes. this is what keeps me from venturing into
any kind kind of procedure. once you are under anesthesia, the doctor can do just about anything he wants. did or could any of you take your physician to task afterwards?

Hi I am having issues with double Butt crease from aggressive lipo. It’s ruining my life :/ unfortunately dr Coleman I have read a lot of bad reviews on which makes me scared!

I'm do sorry to hear about your results. What about a brazillian butt lift? Will that help fill you out behind your thighs?

From what I've researched, a Brazilian butt lift requires about 600 ccs in each cheek. I've consulted with 5 physicians now, and they didn't bring up a Brazilian butt lift. They all stated I need fat transfers (about 200 ccs x 2) for both double gluteal folds. The double glute fold is not as pronounced under the right cheek, but it is still there. The only thing that is going to get my butt off my thighs is a thigh lift, which will leave scars. Unfortunately Dr Lintner destroyed my connective tissue and just injecting fat in the area is not going to support the butt. I'm leaning towards a thigh lift first, and then having a fat transfer specialist fill in the hollows.
Are you aware of any surgeons that have had success repairing cases like mine?

great photos. They show exactly what a bad doctor can do for us. I went to Dr. Juan Carlos Fuentes as he can do butt augmentation. I didn't need that but felt that if he could do that he could do fat transfer. I am the result of overagressive lipo too. He helped bring me somewhat back to life most of the transfers stayed. He knows what he is doing definitely. All of the reviews also compliment him. Go for a consult he will be honest with you. My fat was taken from the front and sides of my entire leg so that is a different area than the glute fold but it won't hurt to email and ask and go for a consult if necessary. I know you get great care and satisfaction from him if he feels he can correct it. Good luck. Natalie

I know. Initially, I consulted with him too. He wanted 50k for my revisions and that put a stop to it. I know exactly what you mean. We don't have anymore room to lose at this last chance. His reviews look very promising. I know in the past he has had some complaints. Really bad ones but they were not about fat transfers. It is a such a difficult choice for you. Continue asking your questions. Writing your pros and cons. Thinking it through thoroughly before a decision. You can do it. You will make the right choice. I like the answers from the doc's that you have already gotten info from. Either you retained the right stuff from them or they were very honest about the approaches to correction. I honestly don't know about the glute. My legs were disfigured from the side all the way down to the muscle. I had lost all of my curve (hip) so my doctor was able to have that re-created some how and the fat grafts really helped. My problem is that I needed every little bit of the fat to stay and it did not. yes. i have before and after. I stayed at a hotel nearby that they drive you too. very nice and was 60.00 per night with the doctors discount. now they have there own recovery house at the facility. he moved locations. they shuttle you from san diego airport right to there door. can you give me your email and I will send you some photos? it will take a bit to find them but I have them. Dr. fuentes website doesn't do him justice for revision repair. You just have to believe. I sifted through a bit of folks on make me heal that used him and looked at every before and after. Really good. I will take a look at Dr. Ersek for you too. Maybe, a saddlelift Also, there was a gal that has a website called my botched lipo maybe email her and see if Coleman said he could help her. I am just curious. She has it way worse than either of us but a similar problem with one of her legs involving her glute fold. I believe in you. I know this is now an even harder mistake as you cannot risk losing again for fear of choices after that being limited. Take Care.

I will look into Fuentes more. Ersek's before/after gallery for butt lifts is
http://www.personique.com/buttlift-photo-gallery.php
I spoke with him on the phone and he is extremely nice answering all my questions and then some. He does the lift from the center, so the scar is hidden in the butt crack.

Even if I lift my butt up, the creases are still there. I first considered a butt or thigh lift, and then having the divots under my butt filled in with fat transfers. I now feel that I will do the fat transfers first (they are needed anyway) and then the lift. I will use Dr. Ersek for the lift as to minimize visible scars.

I hate what I have had to endure for the last 2 1/2 years, just so Lintner could make an extra $1500 in fees for a botched inner/outer thigh lipo. I had no idea he was going to lipo underneath the buttocks.

I did stumble upon the website, mybotchedlipo a year ago. I tried contacting her at the email listed, but did not hear back. I hope she was able to get her problem areas improved upon. That PS should lose his license.
