2 years status post lipo
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.
Some photos of my "shelf" on one side after lipo
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.
