Major skin sagging post SmartLipo of butt and thighs - will I need a full lower body lift? (Photo)

Liposuction of the lower extremities can be tricky.
It sounds to me like there are two issues here.
The first is you probably should not have had the second round of liposuction.
Likewise, perhaps the second provider was lacking in skill and experience both in assessment and recommending the procedure and in the technical execution of the procedure.
A body lift isn’t really going to correct skin laxity and contour irregularities of your lower extremities.
Unfortunately, there is really no good treatment for this.
My first 10 experience with UN has been pretty disappointing.
I honestly never had a single patient to tell me they felt their skin was tighter after doing the treatment.
I’ve done a lot of of these.
I have a hard time recommending Renuvion to anyone.
I honestly think it’s kind of a scam.
If I lift may be the only option, but this procedure also has major drawbacks and not the highest patient satisfaction.
Unfortunately, the second round of Liposuction that probably shouldn’t have been done and correcting a problem that stems from removing fat it’s really challenging.
To make an accurate assessment, we always need to see proper before and after pictures.
If you’ve had more than one procedure, then we need to see before and after pictures of each of your previous operations.
If you don’t have before and after pictures, then you should contact your previous providers and ask them to forward the pictures they took.
You should always keep a copy of your before and after pictures.
While you’re at it you should also ask them to forward a copy of your operative report.
If you ever go in for a second opinion consultation, you should bring all of these with you.
Before committing to any permanent irreversible procedure, you should insist that providers show you lots of before, and after pictures of previous patients who had similar body characteristics to know what your results are going to look like.
Bring pictures of yourself (preferably a proper before and after pictures) to use as reference during each consultation.
Having pictures of yourself is particularly important when it comes to reviewing the doctors previous before and after pictures.
My best recommendation at this point is probably to not do anything.
It’s better to not operate than to do an operation that may potentially make things worse.
Best,
