Smartlipo Horror Story - Atlanta, GA
I had laser assisted "Smartlipo" in...
I had laser assisted "Smartlipo" in April 2010. I have lost the before photos, but have posted the after photos.
During the proceedure, I felt, several times, burning and pushing of the cannula, I was awake and let her know that there was to much heat and pressure. the laser burned COMPLETELY thru my skin on my tummy, I mean a hole! I went thru many months of awful pain and draining, she sulled fluid off the burned areas.
After a year of waiting to see if the inner tissue would "resolve" itself, she gave me several injections of cortisone, to lessen the bulging area adjcent to the burn. I was also given one round of Lipodissolve to lessen the fat that was NOT taken by the lipo proceedure.
After all this, I cannot get ANY resolution, I am deformed, permanently scarred, and left to pay for scar revision and more lipo. THIS IS NEGLIGENCE! PLEASE DO NOT LET THESE PEOPLE TALK YOU INTO LIPO!!! I am seeking legal action ASAP.
My tummy now, STILL a lumpy mess.

I am so tired of people saying "why did you even do it, you were fine before?" SHUT UP!!! I was perfect and I wanted to stay that way for another ten years THATS WHY. You are totally right wiz... cellulite is normal and disfigurement is not( I wrote the exact same thing in my post" and whats happened to her falls in the plastic surgery malpractice area of "medical misconduct AND misuse of medical tools" Trust me I have done my homework.She needs to get her money back, plus money for new clothes to cover the area and because only a Beverly Hills Dr may be ableto fix it,Atlanta Ga, sweety, send some photos out and seek consultation over the phone, if and only if, you can emotionally handle going under the knife ever again after the psychological mind bending youve already sustained and get money for that too. SUE HER A$$ girl.
THANK YOU!! I just hope it turns out that I can be repaired. I CAN do it again, since it has been over a year. I have suffered psycological trauma from this as well. I am going forward, THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
My name is Brandi, I go down on the 19 of this month for my consult and will have a better idea of a quote then. Keep in touch sweety. Let me know what you decide. The scars will fade over time but they can lipo that bump out and tranfer fat into the dents. Better that then what you have now. You have great skin, so I wouldnt worry about the scars, they can probably reove some of the scar tissue beneath them and they wont be so protrusive looking as well. 2 scars and a smooth tummy, Id take it :)
The scars really don't look bad. I agree with alan21022 everyone has delt with a few bad scars from time to time. Most of my scars keloid. Just be happy you were ok and be proud of your new flat tummy. You look great!
