Liposuction caused deformity including severe hip dips. What are my options to fix this issue?

jennjones7407
I had outer thigh lipo 6 months ago. The surgery went wrong and now I have a massive hip dip. The fat concentrations moved above and below the hip area and I look 100X worse than prior to my surgery. My surgeon is telling me that they can do a fat transfer and hope it works. Since fat dies they do not know how much to put in and how much will live. TMy question is ... what do I do? I cant look at myself in the mirror, I cry every single day, and I need some advice.
