Well I'm updating at 2 years after lipo of the love handle area that turned out badly. My dents look even more prominent and instead of a dimple I have a depressed area where the scar is on the other side. My low back and hip area looks totally ruined and bizarre. I used to have small barely visible stretch marks on my butt that become very very prominent after liposuction too and you can see in the photos. I would like to find before photos to compare. Even my SO never noticed them until after the lipo and has commented. I haven't decided if I will try to fix these areas or not. I can try fat grafting but I don't want to ruin another beautiful area of my body to try fixing this one. I've also heard very mixed reviews on fat grafting. I feel very devasted still about my choice to have plastic surgery. It truly ruined my life and changed me as a person, my self-confidence my selfworth in ways that I did not think were possible until it happened to me. I am having explant of the terrible breast job I had at the same time and considered using fat from that but I know there is only about 50 mL that needed to be removed fr one breast to make them symmetrical if I choose to have a lift with removal. No idea if that's enough to use in my dents, I will ask about that. My board certified PS says these are "minor defects" and not a big deal at all.

You look amazing to me--except for those little spots where it looks like the lipo straw went in. If I didn't know you had lipo, I wouldn't have noticed.

Thank you for that. Those bother me some, but the worst is the 4 inch shelf or dent in my hip area on only one side. I didn’t know what to expect having lipo and my doc assured me I would have 2 tiny incisions that would “disappear” after a couple of months and that I wouldn’t have any other I’ll effects or signs of surgery. He was sooooooooo wrong. I can even feel nerve damage in the dented spot, it has never felt the same and I am always rubbing it bc it feels like pins and needles.

I should also mention skin in this area feels and looks different, has lost its elasticity and has broken capillaries. Many signs of damage and no shaping/sculpting of this area.
Lipo was also a much longer recovery than I anticipated or was told. The pins and needles sensations didn't go away until after 6 months at least.
