Lipo: Dermatologist Vs. Plastic Surgeon

Myrtle1975
I had a botched vaser lipo plus an unsuccessful corrective with a bleeping family dr. with a fancy laser center. Now what do I do? Someone suggested Dr. Jeff Klein (inventor of the tumescent lipo), but he is a dermatologist. Do I go to a board certified plastic surgeon or a dermatologist for attempted correction? Thanks. Any suggestions appriciated.
