Answer: Can l get my money back from lipo I do not like? From this one limited view photo, and no preop photo is hard to draw a conclusion to fully answer your question. It seems that your BMI is high and you might've had a debulking lipo procedure. How far out from surgery, was it done under local or sedation? All these can determine what your surgeon can or cannot do. All these issues and your concerns need to be discussed preoperatively so there would not be a misunderstanding after the procedure. That is why it is important to seek out a board certified plastic surgeon. If you knew that your surgeon is not a plastic surgeon, and you still went ahead with the procedure, then you have no recourse. Less than optimal outcome in a high BMI patient is more the norm than the exception. The only way you might be able to get your money back, if the surgeon advertised him/herself as a plastic surgeon and they are cosmetic surgeons. This is deceptive advertisement and you might be able to have some of your fees refunded. You may write to your attorney general about this. Good luck.

Answer: Refund after liposuction You can certainly request a refund from your doctor, citing the fact that the result is far less than you desired. Especially if the surgeon promised much better results. Your case adds credence to the argument of using a board certified plastic surgeon. It may appear a bit more expensive initially, but in the long run, the result will be better and cost the same or less because you may not get your money back, and may need to do the procedure all over again!
