Can LBL uneven hips/saddlebags & nerve damage be fixed? (Photos)

Dear FIERCE3710 in Harrisburg,
Thank you for reaching out with your concerns about addressing uneven hips/saddlebags and potential nerve damage following your lower body lift (LBL), along with the photos you provided.
Managing Asymmetry Post-LBL:
Soft Tissue Asymmetry: If the unevenness in your hips/saddlebags is due to fat, liposuction could effectively correct these asymmetries.
Scar Tissue: In cases where firm scar tissue is contributing to the issue, scar revision techniques, including scar suction or possibly a lower body lift revision, might be considered.
Nerve Damage Concerns:
Consultation with a Neurologist: For nerve-related issues, consulting with a neurologist would be a prudent step. They can assess the extent of nerve damage and recommend appropriate treatments.
Steroid Injections: Depending on the diagnosis, steroid injections might be advised, either in areas experiencing pain or directly into the scar tissue if it's contributing to discomfort.
Following up with your original plastic surgeon is crucial to discuss these concerns and explore potential corrective options.
I hope this information helps guide you in seeking the appropriate treatment to address your post-surgical issues. Wishing you the best in your recovery and subsequent procedures.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Dear Fierce3710,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
