So, a lot of time has passed since my initial review. I must say, I am not satisfied with my work. Dr. Horndeski did not contour my body in any way shape or form. There is more adipose tissue removed from the right side of my midsection than the left side and there is a noticeable spot on my thigh that looks like he literally inserted the cannula, sucked however many cc's out and moved on to the next section without even attempting to make things even. I have expressed my concerns with him and have been telling him since he surgery I am not satisfied with the results, but his only attempt at reconciliation was to offer me a second session of lipo at FULL PRICE (initially) and then he offered to lipo the areas I'm concerned with on my thigh so it wouldn't appear as misshapen. Instead of showing care or concern, he continued to tell me that "lipo is not going to bring you perfection. If do another session your skin MAY hang and you still won't have the look you want." The current issue is NOT with skin hanging at all, so I didn't understand his point in mentioning this to me. I just want my body to be symmetrical! After voicing my concerns with him for 15 minutes he finally offered to lipo the areas surrounding the "dent" as I call it, and I would only have to pay for the facility cost ($1,600) . Keep in mind, my concerns were not limited to my thigh, but to my midsection as well. Finally he asked me to wear my compression garment(which he told me I could stop wearing a month ago, and at the beginning of the conversation had indicated it probably would not do anything) and come back in a month and we could discuss my options. I am extremely dissatisfied with the service I received. I understand there are risk associated with liposuction, but he personally did not go over any of these prior to scheduling and did not show any type of compassion after the fact. He just tried to get me to schedule more sessions with him. Sorry I do not have pictures showing the abnormalities that I'm talking about, but I hope to have some soon.

Okay, so today makes one week since surgery, and alas it was not a good day. I started the morning feeling great, very upbeat and high energy. After about 2 hours my body began to ache, I got a little dizzy and was extremely nauseous. All of this was from the medication, and it was my fault since I took my meds without eating breakfast first. My body is still in pain, but it's different then last week. Last week I felt more sore, overall. Like I said, I felt like I had done a rigorous workout for 5 hours. Now it feels more like someone inserted a foreign object in my body and wiggled it around a bunch, bruising me up in the process! I'm able to walk a lot more now and I can bend to get thing off the floor and pretty much sleep in any position I want, but I get winded pretty quickly and my legs feel weak if I'm walking an extended area or at a fast pace. The areas that were treated are tender to the touch. I still can't say if the procedure is worth it or not, I am waiting on my results to be more visible.

I don't remember Dr. Horndeski being at my bedside at all. To be quite honest, the PA could have done my surgery and I'd be none the wiser. I saw him once before surgery and once on the day of my follow up. The PA was very kind and took time to answer my questions. She had lipo before, so was able to better relate to my struggle.
