I was in my late 20's when I had initially gone to dr noodleman for liposuction of my tummy and under chin. I was too young to or just stupid not to have done my homework before. I should have never made the appointment looking back in the first place because he is a skin dr not a plastic surgeon! A plastic surgeon is trained to do liposuction a dermatologist's most complicated case is removing skin cancer. what was I thinking putting my body in his hands?! Anyway I came out very lump bumpy ( go figure) and full of scars all over from below my breast to every few inches around my abdomen and my neck has a deep wrinkle as a result of the neck surgery ( which he used Botox to help solve soon after the procedure but it didn't do anything that's just how I had healed! So years later I had to go back to him and complain and I was in tears explaining how insecure I had become could not change in front of people, wear a bikini, even tight dresses showed some of the lumpiness! He and his staff drilled me about perhaps having gained weight (nope, was even lighter) perhaps had a pregnancy (nope, none). Finally in the end was apologetic and suggested he would redo it so long as I paid to get another area done at full price. I chose my flanks. He suggested lasering the scars (never did it for me) and paying to do vela smooth after the procedure to help my abdomen heal smooth this second time around. At this point I had invested around $20,000 in this doctor and still the outcome sucked!! The instant the bandage came off even the vela smooth lady noticed I had a huge fat deposit near my belly button. She insisted she would focus on that part. Ugh anyway getting my skin pulled under the rollers go this machine just a short time after having had surgery might have been the most painful thing I've gone through! I can't imagine it was a sound medical decision that this skin doctor had made for me. Anyway I could not last after a few sessions I had to stop and ask to get my money back for the future sessions. This was over $2000 this smoothing procedure. So they wrote me a check and would only give it to me after signing that I would never sue their a$&es!! Anyway today I'm trying to get things resolved with a tummy tuck by a real plastic surgeon. I have had two children since and have extra skin with the same lumpiness????
