I'm writing this to convince others to really do their research when choosing a Dr. I went in for outter and inner thighs. I am 33, 119 and 5'3. Prior I had no banana rolls-smooth legs on the back and one butt crease. My dr ended up suctioning behind my leg. ?Now I cannot afford to fix this disaster

Dr Inexperienced She said she had 7 years experience doing smart Lipo. Nice woman, but obviously didn't know about not suctioning the back of the leg. I didn't ask for my banana rolls to be done or I would have researched it beforehand and seen others horror stories and known not to allow it the day of surgery or made sure the markings ended on my outter thigh. We tend to believe the Drs know what they're doing and so don't give input. We want an aggressive Lipo job... But less is more! The dr did a touch up but this is still my result. I think the only solution is fat transfer to reverse what she did but I can't afford any additional surgeries. She has offered to do lasering for skin tightening pretending that that's the problem, It's so depressing and humiliating to know I'll be living like this the rest of my life.

It would have been a good idea to have included the doctor´s name , so that we poor mortals can avoid this result ourselves?

I'm living the same nightmare for the last ten years trying to have it fixed .It all started with one smart lipo to correct a tiny bulge under the buttocks. I've had three different doctors try to fix the botched area.Now I'm getting fat grafting to fill in the double crease that the stupid doctor with 30 years of experience created and I'll most likly need a few sessions. My conclusion is that doctors are clueless about this area when it comes to lipo.

Do sorry you had to go through this. I'm a victim myself. I'm just hoping I could fix my problem with out a thigh lift. Please share the doctor that did this to you.

I'm sorry this has happened to you. Its great that you have shared your story because it should help out a lot of people. I too got a botched job (inner thighs) and am trying to get it fixed. I wish I had never had the procedure done but too late for that now. I get my revision done at the end of May and will be doing a combo of lipo and fat transfer to a couple different areas. Hoping for the best but know this will most likely be one of many more to fix my problem. I hope you are able to find some sort of solution that makes you feel better.

Lower body lift will fix that quite easily

No actually it isn't an easy fix at all. I have a collapsed butt too from bad lipo and many friends online with the same issue. A lower body lift is designed for loose skin. We are not massive weight loss patients with loose skin.

I don´t really see how this report is helpful, considering that it´s impossible to be able to avoid this surgeon, as she doesn´t give the name. I thought that the whole point of this site was to help others avoid bad surgeons and choose ones that have good ratings. All we know is that it´s in California!

Hopefully she will post the name eventually. Sometimes people don't want to post before they are totally out of their care and/or exhausted all options of renumeration. Personally I knew I would never let my doctor touch me again. Yes it would be better if the Drs name was up but still good that she's putting out there that this does happen. People need to also know potential risks to their surgery.
