One year after my disappointment with dr malan I finally have ankles I can show in public and I couldn’t be happier. I went to infini and dr shuell took 350 cc out of each ankle, He also fixed my knees and thighs in areas that dr malan treated but left a mess. I’m one month post op, and haven’t been wearing my compression garments, but even with the swelling they are two inches smaller in circumference

Ugh it just keeps getting worse

Finally losing weight again and i wish i could go back in time and stop myself from trusting this doctor. Heres how my legs look today, i cant believe a doctor would think this is an improvement.
I honestly cant say any part of me isnt as bad or worse than it was. And while he said hed fix any issues for free, when i had a complaint he was quick to retract that. I am shocked removing fat could wind up looking worse.

I really feel for you! I would suggest taking the time to research specialists in liposuction (who are actually licensed Plastic Surgeons) with great reviews to help you re-do your legs when you are ready. I really think that at your age, you shouldn't have to dwell on this the rest of your life, and there are many really great doctors out there. We have all made some mistakes trusting the wrong doctors, you just need to be able to get past it eventually, and the best way to do that is to take charge and plan your next steps. By the way, congratulations on losing some weight.

Did you see him for a follow up? I saw how his staff bullied you online? Did you address that?

Final conclusion is that this particular doctor is good at the fat transferring portion... and that’s it.

The results of the facial fat transfer were amazing for a couple months. All hint of it has vanished by now but for a minute it was incredible. But yeah... lipo results are just bad all around. My pics may not reflect it as it should but you have to understand that what I started with might be what some would have aimed for... but honestly I feel my legs were better looking previously as this doctor has no concept of what legs are supposed to look like apparently. He just added a few gaps along the inner silhouette... which is nobody’s goal ever. I look like a claymation character who’s legs were shaped by a child.
But anyway these pics show how obvious these fat stores were and still are and why I wouldn’t go here for lipo on the legs and regret doing so.

This picture makes it clearer. I would be upset too. I suppose since you technically did 2 transfers, breast and lips, that's why the cost was so high. Still, it definitely doesn't seem worth it if the lipo has undercorrection and the facial fat transfer results have already faded.

Regardless of your loyalty to the doctor, this is not an appropriate venue for your comments, in my opinion. Your multiple comments on each of these postings seem like an intimidation tactic and I am waiting to see how the realself monitor handles this. All doctors get some bad reviews, and I have not seen any of their staff members post diatribes. This should be a confidential conversation between the doctor and his patient.

I unfortunately missed this comment but I already know it's more [RS bleep]. This fat isnt new, it's always been there it's not pregnancy fluid its fat. I've had it since I was a child. I hoped to finally be rid of it and you guys convinced me you were the best then acted like I never mentioned my ankles. How any competent doctor would think legs should he shaped like this is beyond me

Did you choose him because he was your OB-Gyn and you felt comfortable with him, or did you look at his reviews on RS? I didn't realize that he was not a Certified Plastic Surgeon. Of course, my original implant mess was caused by a PS with great credentials, great reviews and high cost as well. Live and learn, then move on, as you will get someone great to correct your issues.

Did you pay for your ankles to be done?
If so you should ask for your money back.
This doc doesn’t seem to have a good track record with his results.

It’s hard not to get the outcome you want especially after spending so much money, but I did read the comment from the lady that works in your dr’s office. It appears you have a specific condition that effects outcomes and that pregnancy often results in the issues you’re facing. Since it’s too late to go back and follow postcare guidelines perhaps you should give yourself a break and some self love. It didn’t really sound like your partner was supportive either which can’t make this time easy for you. Not that it prob matters but I think you look great!

I didn’t see the comments before they were removed but 1) I got pregnant at least a month after the lipo and 2) he never went near my ankles. I had stated specifically they were the most important area I wanted to treat and he acted like it was never discussed. I wouldn’t have gone with him had he not convinced me that was an area he could do better than others. Finding out he rarely does the ankles was infuriating

The comment posted that was removed was apparently from a member of your doctor's staff. They felt the poor aspects of your results were due to a preexisting lipoedema condition that you had plus your pregnancy. I'm not sure if the time frame of the pregnancy was a factor, I just remember he or she had said you weren't supposed to get pregnant after the procedure for some reason. I found it unprofessional on part of the staff member to post a comment like that, especially because they seemed to be blaming you a lot. Even if it was entirely your fault (which I doubt it was) they shouldn't have said that on a public review
September 14, 2019
Yeah, it was my fault but only because when I said ankle, and he drew a circle halfway up my calf I assumed the circles were just guides or something for incisions. Had I known they represented what he planned to target I’d have just walked out of the office because they made absolutely no sense
