I did my liposuction on both arms and thighs around 6months ago. I have my measurement done and there's totally no results at all. When I spoke to my doctor, he just seems to be pushing my question away. He say result may not be observeable, but the fact is, there is totally no lost of inches. I spend a big sum on it, what am I supposed to do now? Should I ask for re-do or refund? If so, how should I ask? It seems like he don't intend to re-do it for me. I feel like I'm con by him. Pls help

Answer: No results
Hello Shiella,
You need to find out what sort of volume of fat was removed. Surgeons always record this and some, like we do at our practice, photograph it. Results vary based on how much was removed and whether the patient has gained or lost weight.

Answer: Liposuction Results Less Than Expected
The results of liposuction are influenced by many factors, not the least of which is how much fat is removed and what do the areas being treated look like to start with. Liposuction is about changing body contours and the result is not necessarily about losing inches or pounds of weight. Reviewing before and after pictures can be very helpful. I have seen many patients who thought they had minimal changes after plastic surgery only to be quite surprised how much change they really have when looking at their before photographs. There may also be an issue of expectation here where what you thought was achievable may have been different that what was possible.
