Severe Problems After Body Tite on Anterior Upper Thighs

$4,000
I am a 56 year-old female, bachelor-degree Registered Nurse with 17 years of operating room experience, 4 of those in Plastics. I am 5'7 weighing 125 pounds with very little body fat. I went to an in office seminar on Bodytite/Facetite in October 2018. I chose to do Bodytite to tighten skin only, with no liposuction, on my anterior upper thighs bilaterally the first of November 2018. It was a disaster. This was done by a board-certified and "well-trained" plastic surgeon. During this intra-office procedure, Tumescent was used and the procedure was done to specifications. There was pain during the procedure especially around my knees as it was apparent that tendon, ligament, and muscle structures were inadvertently hit with the wand. I had severe swelling, pain, bruising, and discomfort post operatively for months which continues today. I was very compliant with not exercising, wearing compression and following all protocols to the extreme. I was left with severely negative post-operative outcomes. I have lymphedema that is quite severe around my first-leg foot and ankle, the trocar was apparently detracted from the skin each time while hot creating severe scarring which has required three extensional scar revisions. I have to go to a specialists orthopedic surgeon to resolve the problems with my knees, which are very painful, difficult to bend, have cystic formations throughout, and are very numb and feel like an ant colony is living underneath my skin. I have severe formations of hard globular dead tissue under my skin that will not resolve, despite, therapeutic massage, fascial massage, lymphatic massage, "Z-Wave" ultrasonic therapy, Epson-salt baths, and an immaculate high-protein Keto diet with multiple vitamin supplements to help resolve these problems. Please help me. I am in dire need of advice, consultation, and some sort of restitution here. Please refer and direct me in any way possible to bring back some normalcy to my legs and my life. I am suffering here. Thank you so much in advance for your help!!

Ouch!! I cannot even imagine. Where these irregularities and symptoms present throughout or after the initial 6th week mark?
Misbah Khan in NYC i think worth contacting. I have not been a patient but have emailed her a lot and if u read all of read reviews of hers (read them all) she seems to be very smart lady with these types of issues. She also has some very good youtube videos. Hope this helps
I meant to say. Read all her reviews here on Realself. You can find her by searching her name
who performed the procedure?
