8 month photos

Dr. Liu offered me one complimentary session of Morpheus8 to treat my abdomen/hips and drooping inner gluteal fold. He warned me that I wouldn’t see much of an improvement after one session though. The office suggested I start off with purchasing a package of 3 sessions, but may need more.

While I don’t love my results, Dr. Liu has shown me that he really cares about making sure his patients are happy. I’ve set an appointment for my 1 year f/u and will see what Dr. Liu suggests then.

Poor BBL Candidate

I met with several board certified plastic surgeons but ultimately chose Dr. Liu for his prestigious training, emphasis on safety, and before/after results I saw online and in his office. I initially came to Dr Liu to discuss lipo. I was hoping to improve my silhouette (lipo flanks, abdomen, outer thighs) and he recommended BBL to fill in hip dips and add volume to my butt. I had a square butt with some cellulite and he warned me that my cellulite could become worse after the procedure. While I was prepared for, and ok with, cellulite causing dimples, I was not made aware that the BBL could result in a drooping "dirty diaper" butt. Now that I am 8 months post-op and everything has settled, I regret getting the BBL. My inner gluteal fold is more pronounced, giving me an unappealing V shaped butt. I would much rather have my small square butt than a larger V shaped butt! Dr. Liu spent a few minutes marking me up in the operating room just before the procedure and I should have insisted on a separate pre-op appointment so we could thoroughly discuss goals and expectations. I went back to his office to discuss my concerns and he recommended morpheus 8 on the inner gluteal fold and a nonsurgical BBL to fix the results of my BBL. While I appreciate him offering me a deal on morpheous 8, it would be >4 thousand dollars on top of what I already paid for the BBL and I'm not sure it would improve my results. I think the issue causing the V shaped butt isn't fat (Dr Liu did not inject fat into that area) but rather my lack of connective tissue holding up the skin, which can't be corrected by adding/removing fat. 
The photos included are 3 months post op. I had lipo to the flanks and abdomen. I am waiting for the office to provide me with my 8 month photos.
For those considering Dr. Liu, I would recommend him if you are young with great skin quality so you don't run into issues like mine.
