I had a revision done on my abdomen (smartlipo). Since my procedure I have seen 1/2 dozen plastic surgeon's to correct the irregularities that occurred after Dr. Howard's procedure. I can no longer wear a bikini, ever again. I can not have a tummy tuck due to my lack of available skin and fat. I have been told by some of the best in the business (LA - Dr. Stoker/NY-Dr. Sid Coleman) that only fat grafting is going to give me a slight chance of improvement. It will cost me around $20,000-$30,000 and there are no guarantees. They both told me he took out way to much fat, went into my dermis and from a scale of 1-10 on irregularities I am an 8/9. It is sad because I am in my early 40's and I have a good figure otherwise but will be wearing a tankini for the rest of my life because of the results. I would never recommend Dr. Howard and his in office/awake procedure is not pleasant. Do your research!
