Just Had Lipo. I Think Too Much Fat Was Removed from Hips and Thighs. Revision Fat Grafts and Pain? (photo)

September 3, 2013
Asked By:loveheartlove888

I recently had liposuction of upper, lower abdomen, inner, outer thighs, side, back hips. During my first consultation I was 30 pounds heavier. During our second consultation the weight loss was not discussed, I think I had too many procedures or they were too aggressive for my frame. I'm wondering about revision possibilities. How long is safest to wait before doing a revision? Will I have enough fat? Is the complete numbness, pain and burning in the hip area normal?

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD says:

It's not clear from your description whether or not liposuction was responsible for the dark lines. When this occurs is because the skin was traumatized by laser assisted liposuction or by aggressive negative pressure liposuction damaging the deep surface of the skin. This may or may not improve...
