Posted to Fat Gone, but Wrinkling Permanent! on 16 Sep 2009
The fat cells removed in the areas of concern are no longer there, so you will gain weight everywhere else but the places that have been treated with liposuction. You will not gain weight evenly or proportionately after any lipo procedure. You will gain weight all around the areas having the opposite problem in the same areas. I didn't even go in for liposuction but paying the price anyway. All this information after the fact is so useless, only serves as a warning and to better educate the next patient/victim.
Wow, it's so sad to see so many people, including myself pay large sums of money to have a surgeon ruin your body, and (for me anyway) life. I don't know about you, but I was not properly informed of possible bad outcomes such as this. The only bad outcome that I was informed of was a possible depression, skin discoloration or scarring at the point of entry/incision. I was not informed of cavities in the donation site, or rippling. I didn't even go in for liposuction. I am minipetite, 5' 90lb female. A fitness enthusiast my entire adult life. I went in to get breast implants changed and was concerned about rippling in the breast, my surgeon convinced me that he could graft fat to cover any rippling from the breast implant. I expressed my concerns with being so light and not having any fat to graft, but he assured me it didn't take much. I asked where would you get it, as I really didn't have any to spare? He just said he would find it somewhere. Now the entire back and insides of my legs are full of cavities and rippling. I also think that he took a piece of muscle, as I have a huge cavity right in the middle of my muscle. It is visible at all times but more pronounced when my muscle is contracted.I will be seeking other surgeons advise and opinions and will post the opinions from my consultations as I seek help. Just wanted to say, so sorry this happened to you, so sorry it happened to me, and I hope this serves to inform and educate others considering cosmetic surgical procedures. Bottom line is I went in with one specific concern, paid $14,000.00 US dollars, more when the conversion is done, that doesn't include flight or hotel costs of 10 days, to not only have my original concerns addressed and corrected but to also have a large and very visible parts of my body destroyed, that were a source of compliments and flattery prior to surgery. I am devastated.
