I went to Dr. Motlagh for liposuction. I was very concerned whether to do it or not because I have a condition that causes scars. He told me it would not be a problem. Boy was he wrong! My recovery was terrible! Bad pain. For a week I could not get into or out of bed without help. He had said I could go back to work in a couple of days. I could hardly move. My husband had to pick me up & stand me up. I had extensive scaring under the skin which resulted in my whole abdomen being rigid. I could hardly bend in any direction for months. It took 18 months for the scars to soften. 

Great review?

Found him at a seminar he funded. This was a highly traumatic experience & he didn't seem to care. When I went back in the Dr. didn't seem particularly concerned and offered no explanation. I would never go to him again. He didn't even do a very good job on the lipo ( my stomach is lumpy) but I wasn't going to let him touch me again ever!

I'm sorry you had a bad experience. Did you consult with other Drs? Especially about your condition and the scars. In the future get a few opinions including your PCP
