Six months after Liposuction I am left with lumps everywhere, burn scars, and variation in skin color. What should I do?

September 3, 2017
Asked By:Zap21 in Virginia Beach, VA

I had a combination of traditional and tumescent liposuction 6 months ago, abdomen, hips, back and thighs. I now have lumps everywhere and 2 burned looking scars on my back. My skin looks very uneven, like cellulite, not there before, and is marbleized in color. I have talked to my plastic surgeon during my post-op visits but he first told me to wait, then in a later consultation, was somewhat dismissive and offered no remedies but to wait. I am very unhappy. How can I best correct the problems?
