I got liposuction 8 months ago and was never happy with my result. I'm 5'3, 120lbs and I barely look any different than before, except that not there is more dimpling and asymmetry. I want to fix my surgery but I have no idea how to find the right Doctor to fix it. I did my research before and thought my first Doctor would nail it - so now I feel lost and unsure of who to see? Should I have my initial Doctor do the revision (even though I'm not a fan of my results) or try to find someone new?

Answer: You owe your doc the opportunity to do a revision or 2 to improve results. Many touch ups post liposuction can be very easy or simple things which you owe your doc the opportunity to do. He/she wants you to look good and has the knowledge and experience to fine tune the results. He may even offer radiofrequency treatments such as inmode BodyFX for skin tightening or may go back in with a smaller canula to smooth out irregularities. You will have to pay for at least the op room fee so don't expect it to be free. If you gain weight post lipo, then it is on you to lose the weight for better results. Your doc has spent a lot of time and effort with your 1st procedure so give him/her the chance to help you get a better result.

Answer: Choosing a surgeon Dear paleflower,Finding the right Dr. is extremely challenging especially with the number of online platforms and resources available. There a lot of great Dr's available. Definitely check to make sure your choice specializes in the procedure you want and spend the time to read through patient testimonials. You can always pick up the phone and call around also, find an office you feel comfortable with and set up a few consultations. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
