I went to someone that shouldn't have been practicing and had this procedure done on my thighs and stomach. Now I have this ugly, red webbing and caves in my skin/fat not to mention that my skin is looser than before. What can I do? This was done almost a year ago.
Answer: Uneven after liposuction Dear chamedyn, I would have to examine you but it appears that this is a contour irregularity after liposuction. This happens often when areas the undergo liposuction are not feathered appropriately. The good news is that it can be fixed and I have done so with good results before. While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result.I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result.

Answer: What can I do after Bodytite ruined my legs? Hello, thank you for your question. It is hard to tell without a physical examination. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Disocoloration and irregularities after liposuction on the thighs and stomach this will need a revision if there are irregularities and looseness. may need skin removal. for the skin itself this is "permanent" damage and can maybe improve with vbeam laser, peels and skicnare at home. I suggest a formal consult, sorry this happened to you. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Surgery I am sorry you did not get the results you wanted. You can have some fat transfers to help fill in the dips after first using radiofrequency like ThermiTight to help tighten the skin.

Answer: I Undesirable results This procedure is the most commonly done in conjunction with Liposuction. I’m not sure if Liposuction was included. I looked up your provider based on a previous posts and he is a urologist who does not seem to offer Liposuction but does offer bodytite. Regardless the results are similar to those of Liposuction because that was removed. This is permanent and there really is no way to correct this. Treatment options are going to be a revision Liposuction, fat transfer or converting this to a skin tightening procedure. Regardless the results are similar to those of Liposuction because that was removed. This is permanent and there really is no way to correct this. Treatment options are going to be revision Liposuction, fat transfer or converting this to a skin tightening procedure. None of these treatments are ideal or in many ways desirable. All of them have flaws and none will restore you to where you were pre-treatment. In the end your doctor is responsible for the outcome and you are responsible for choosing that doctor. For your abdomen perhaps revision Liposuction can even things out a bit but it is also in someways adding fuel to the fire and potentially making things worse in other areas. Secondary or corrective procedures are far more difficult and unpredictable than Primary Liposuction. Fat transfer works poorly because the area that needs treatment now has insufficient post tissue to support the graft making fat graft failure more common. For fat transfer to work patients often need multiple procedures. This could be as many as 4 to 6 rounds of fat transfer. Simply harvesting that much fat by doing liposuction and other parts of your body may be undesirable. Be leery of anyone who has an easy answer to your situation. An appropriate provider to help you should have the inside to realize how difficult the situation is and many years of experience with a proven track record doing revision or secondary Liposuction procedures. Sometimes it’s better to cut bait. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
