No words for this body

$6,500
I am almost 2 years post op and must say that this surgery has literally destroyed my body and my whole entire life. No day goes by without me crying over how I look and feel now. I will never be me again. It's like God is punishing me for the fact that I ever wanted to change myself. I tried multiple skin treatments to improve my scars, but after more than a year of laser, microneedling and bleaching, they actually look worse than before. I have gained 20 pounds since the surgery, because I hate myself so much. There is no chance for me to go in for revision, because I have school debt that needs to be prioritized. I feel so ashamed to have such a body now full of useless scars, bumps and holes. Gosh, I don't understand why I have to live in this body.

I am so sorry. Plastic surgery is hit or miss. We all go into it hoping for the best possible outcome. Unfortunately, many don’t receive that gift. The sad thing is no matter what, you oftentimes cannot reverse the damage done, and revision surgery doesn’t always remedy the situation. Might exercise with weights help, if you were to find a skilled trainer who can focus specifically on the problem areas? What about the fraxlel laser for the scars? Hopefully, one day you will attract someone into your life who will love all of you, recognizing and appreciating that your battle-scars represent your life story and they make you unique and exceptionally appealing.
It's very sad to see that you're still suffering from this. I think that you need to change your outlook on life to help you get over your ideal. Whilst you're right CERTAIN men do only concentrate on looks, those same type of men, however, are the kind that will be unfaithful, treat you like crap and would be off with a younger model as soon as you age! Why would you want to be with a man like that anyway? Just look at those 'beautiful women', how many supermodels or celebrities are in stable long-term relationships/married? Beautiful successful supermodels, singers, actresses and celebrities get cheated on ALL THE TIME, just look in the Daily Mail! The way you're looking at life is very shallow (I don't mean any disrespect) and will leave you feeling empty and unfulfilled for a long time. There ARE amazing men out there who don't give a damn about scars or lumps or bumps who will stay with you through thick and thin, but you will not find someone like that until you change your outlook. It's been 2 years hun, how long are you planning on mourning your old body? You will look back on this one day and kick yourself, not for getting the surgery, but for wasting years of your life grieving over it. Why don't you try and take up a new hobby? Or start a business of some kind? If you want a shallow man, you can easily get one if you're loaded! Regardless you need to build your self-esteem and recognise that you're worth MORE than your butt! So stop moping around and go and grab your life by the horns. Do not let your butt define you! Stop beating yourself up, it's enough now! You're worth much much more.
Hun we will NOT have you talking like that! I actually do understand how you feel. I have had 13 operations (medical surgery gone wrong, I now have illness for the rest of my life) so I have scars and stretchmarks from drastic weight gain/loss from when I was in hospital. I WORE MY BIKINI WITH MY SCARS, and I had no shortage of male attention. They didn't even notice until I pointed them out and even when I did they were not bothered. You have it all wrong, men are attracted to confidence! If you think little scar dots are going to stop a man being intimate with you then you're definitely wrong or meeting the wrong guys! Of course you can still have kids, scars do not stop anybody. Look at Katie Piper and other acid attack victims and burn victims. They are starring on catwalks, modelling campaigns and getting married and having children. You know why? Because they refused to let the scars stop them! Right now you have one enemy......and it's yourself! You are tormenting yourself over and over but I think you need to realise and accept firstly that it's done and you have to move on. Your scars will improve over time. Yes it can take years, it did with mine. Im still treating some of them. It's time for you to speak to a therapist of some kind, or a life coach to help you move past this. Please do me a favour, please look for a video on youtube called redefine beauty. It's for young women like yourself who have been severely affected by the medias beauty standards and how it has affected peoples lives. You can message me any time you want if you need a chat, but you can't keep torturing yourself. Your whole life does not hinge on your few scars. Instagram is a lie! The instagram life is a lie! Your scars have nothing to do with a man loving you or not. Your scars will not stop you having a baby one day. Your scars will not stop you getting a job....etc, the only thing stopping yourself, is you! Please get help from a therapist now. You've been through enough. You will feel so much better if you speak to a professional. xoxo
No I hate that you feel this way. I not have scars but I feel like that too. I want to be your friend and just hear you out. I’m so sorry this happened to you! I’m heartbroken for you. ☹️
Ich kann dir nicht mehr privat schreiben?hoffe alles ist ok bei dir...
Can anybody confirm if she is OK? She is not accepting private messages and her responses have been deleted.
Oh no.
Have you been working out? Try adding a gym into your lifestyle at least 3 times a week. As well, you should look into getting Wood Therapy on your lower body! It helps with cellulite and helps mold your body! Don't give up now! Just like you, I was down, gained weight and hated myself! Not no more! I picked myself up, dusted this sh!t off and now more than ever I love myself! Don't let that dam surgeon mistakes eat you alive! Trust me....I know! Good luck to you girly amd wish you the best! Love yourself 1st girly! Just with that, your whole life will change!

Another day in hell

Some people here told me that I might suffer from BDD. I appreciate that these people might want to tell me it's not all that bad. However, it makes me feel like - especially in regards to surgeries, people try to always blame the victim. How many times I've heard from people on here, or people that know about the surgery that it's all my own fault. Yes, I chose to do the surgery, but I didn't perform it on myself. I have not even agreed to the doc sucking my thighs out or placing the scars in these areas. He did all that without my consent, later saying it was his choice to do that. And now I'm left with this botched body. Sorry that I openly say that I hate myself and feel worthless. I'm just being honest and realistic. All the dreams of ever feeling confident and being happy with myself are gone forever. That's not BDD, that's a logic & realistic consequence of the surgery.

How are you?
I am so sorry that you are feeling this way
We take a very Hugh risk when we decide to go under the knife, some of us are lucky to look great after and some are not so lucky. But it's the risk and great chance we take to improve our appearance. I was quite fortunate to look great after my surgery and I am thankful for that, but it could have gone the other way too, I understand your feelings. In my eyes your body was great to begin with

Did Laser make my scars worse?

Ok, actually I thought that laser & microneedling made my scars better. But now, looking at my pictures, I believe that it hasn't really helped. The first pic is 1 day before the first laser treatment, the other ones today. So frustrating to see this. I think I had 5 or 6 microneedling & laser treatments. After 1 year there is basically no difference. Actually the laser left marks on my butt that I'm currently trying to bleach without any success. I'm starting to feel cursed and really hopeless....

You may be suffering from body dysmorphia. Your butt doesn’t look nearly as bad as you’re describing and truth be told you don’t need any additional work done. Your scars will heal. It may not be what you want to hear but hitting the gym seems like a good alternative to surgery for your case since you have a nice, slender frame as is and the gym will help you to become more lean and toned which will give your butt an even more smooth appearance.
I want to be slim with curves. When I loose weight again, I'll be completely flat. Definitely need my sides to be refilled, which the doctor sucked out. The scars are horrible for me, because you can really really see them. It's even worse in daylight. It's so embarrassing to be chubby after lipo and not have the curves I wanted. I will work out at some point, but the shape has to be finished for that.
I totally understand how you feel. You don't look bad at all, but I know what you see and feel is what matters. I agree, you shouldn't be chubby after lipo. I hope you can come to some resolve. Xoxo
