Im so sad at what my arms look like after liposuction was done to them. I was assured they would be ok to graft

ORIGINAL POST

So Sad What my Arms Look Like Now

Mystory90210
I had a procedure called Cellulaze on the back of my legs which left me with dents that needed revision. I was not even told that cellulaze was lipo when I had it done in Baltimore. It left my legs needing revision.
I was told a small amount of fat could be taken from the back of my arms to try to fat transfer to back of legs. I was very skeptical about doing this, being I already was going through hell from a lipo type procedure. I asked 3 different times if he was sure it would be ok to take from my arms. He assured me it would be fine because he was only taking a small amount from back of my arm at the tricep. I still asked him again at another consult then asked his coordinator too. If she was sure the Dr would do right by me. She said he would not do it, if he was not sure it would not damage or botch my arm.
Well, now Im botched forever. The lipo was not just done on the back of my arms at the tricep. It was done on the inside of my arms making them completely flat on the inside. Arms are round, they are not flat on the inside like a wing. The cannula was taken the entire way up into my bicep. To the top of my bicep. I know have cannula track marks all over my arm. I have track marks running up into my bicep. My arms look awful. Its so sad to have your arms destroyed like this. I know have elephant skin elbows too. He ruined the elasticity in my skin. My skin is puckered and looks 80 yrs old now. My arms look like flat on the inside wings. He went up into my arm pits too. Very deformed. Under the skin it feels like hunks of cottage cheese. I assume scar tissue all on the inside of my arms and into the bicep even. I was never heavy in my life and was always a gym fitness person. Now I cant wear anything unless it has a sleeve. How sad to ask many times and get assured he would be careful, only to have him not stick to the area he promised would be ok. Why would my bicep have cannula marks all across it. So so sad. Its very embarrassing and sad when my life was teaching fit classes and personal training in the past, to now having 80/90 yr old looking arms just because a procedure was not followed as promised. I did not have ugly arms before. I could wear anything I wanted. Imagine needing an arm skin removal surgery just because of this. To have to have a long scar up my arm. Unreal. It still would nor fix all of it, because he has track marks up across my entire bicep. Nobody has flat inside of their arms. Its the grossest thing. Mutilated looking. Not like a human. I worked all my life staying fit, to have this destroy my arms. Its really impacted my life and gym life

This worries me. I've been planning for over a year to go to im for corrective lipo. I wanted to add lipo to my arms and inner thighs as well as fix bad lipo on my stomach from a previous surgeon. But arms and inner thighs are delicate areas Seeing this makes me feel hesitant to go through with any of it.
September 9, 2022
Me too! Can I DM you?

Wait till you see my mutilated inner thigh post later. You will not do it after you see. Agha in Newport beach was to lift my skin that did not get fixed well enough from lipo grafting. He lipod huge parts of my legs he was not suppose to. In doing so, I will not wear shorts ever in public again. Watch for that info from me. Its very bad
August 29, 2022
Oh and let me add quick. I did not want my iner thighs touched by Agha. I was not there for that. I gave no consent to have them touched. They did not need touched. I literally had no fat there to suck out. It is mind blowing that he lipod me from my knees to my pubic area without my consent. Yes, my pubic area too. My groin crease is paper thin and dug in. I was never heavy in my life. I was always a gym rat. Personal Trainer and Group Fitness instructor. Agha butchered my from knees to my vagina. I have so much proof of before from modeling, yet he lies and acts like he did not do this. Its unreal. Im telling my story on different platforms. It needs told. Women need to know to be protected. Its devastating when these Drs ruin your body. It has impacted every aspect of my life, and not in a good way. Stole so much from me. Please be careful!! Your entire life could change in the wrong hands

I can't believe this happened to someone else. My surgeon lipod me from the groin to the knee also. As well as my butt, hips, and mutilated my stomach down to the muscle tissue Tara Reid style. I am looking for a surgeon to do major repair work on me, starting with a bbl- something I never previously needed. Dr Bednar removed almost 4 inches from my butt non-consent. I am still traumatized by it almost a year later. Pm me if you like and we can share details. I was also fit previously. I have no doubt that what Bednar did to me was NOT an accident.
September 16, 2022
I agree. Agha did what he did to me, like you. It was no accident to mutilate me. He went in doing surgery on my pubic/vagina area without consent. I still cant grasp it yrs later. Its sickening and evil. He has butchered many others too. I communicate with them. I have a Patreon acct to tell my whole story. Women need to hear this, and know. It has completely changed my life. You can message me. Im very busy right now with a move. Kinda why I decided to do the Patreon. Easier to tell story once to many ppl. Time is tough ATM. Women need to know what I know and what to look for. I dont think Dr S is malicious. I dont know why he did so much of my arm though when it was to only be tricep. My entire upper arm is now botched. Very strange he went into my bicep :(. Its so ugly now and even standing in a grocery line if I have a tee shirt on I stand there thinking of how to hold my arms to hide what he did

Can I private message you? When did you have your surgery? This is with Dr. Svehlak right?
September 11, 2022
Yes you can DM

This was Lipo done to my arms, to fat graft

Mystory90210
I did not have Cellulaze to my arms. It was lipo that was done to my arm. It was only to be the very small tricep area but most of my arm was done instead which mutilated my arm. The grafting was to fix cellulaze areas on back of leg. Was a very very bad idea for him to touch my arms so that they are now botched as well. You think you can trust Drs when you ask 3 times, but sadly, as you can see clearly.. you can not

No we cannot trust surgeons, sorry to say, I've spoke to many women who asked for reassurance multiple times and request to not Lipo certain body parts and they were completely dismissed. I don't even look at the good reviews anymore. A surgeon with a 4.8 rating is not good enough. One unusual/scary review on any site IS too much and I will write that surgeon off. They should ALL be perfectionists in this profession, no excuses. If their wife works for them I write them off. If If I cannot stay away and do local for my surgery, so I know what they're up to- then cya!! My body, MY life, not theirs!
September 16, 2022
Wow!!!! You speak facts!!!! Amen!!! Yep. Wife works for Agha in Newport Beach. I should have known not to trust when I heard about the integrity of the two by the nursing circuit. Stupid of me. That is a review for another day. You are so right in all you said. Wife is there getting that cash benefit so she will lie till the cows come home to get that new designer purse. Its quite disgusting. I have told them as much, trust that! I, as a women would not sell out other women!! I would never!!!! The time will come when ppl like this get it flipped on them. They will feel the pain and horror they caused others. I trust the universal laws!

Im doing diff platforms to tell my story. If you want to tell some of yours too, create awareness, let me know. My story started in 2014 and Im still botched. As you see. Its been devastating to say the least. Darkest times in my life. Karma will balance for us. Im going to Newport Fashion Island with a sign and show off in person what was done to me. Ppl can video it or take pics and post to social media. Im ok with that. Im done seeing womens lives destroyed

This site changed my post to Cellulaze

Mystory90210
Why does this site alter our posts. So not cool. I would never type “ after my Cellulaze Treatment”. How do they have a right to change our posts and make it into our words when its not. How is that legal to manipulate our words and pass them off as something we said. Thats wild to me. Manipulating our words. I never in 7 yrs called Cellulaze a treatment. Unreal!!! They dont know our story so what right do they have in altering our info. This Surgeon does not even do Cellulaze and this site just made my post as if he does. I has Cellulaze done 2,200 miles away from where the reviewed Dr is. Please stop putting words in our posts that are false info and lies!!!! We go through enough when botched by surgeons. We dont need false info being made up by this sire. It is not ok to alter our info

I'm confused. I understand your arms were botched by Lipo and I feel a lot of empathy for you. (My arms look like yours from weight loss and loose skin and my thighs and buttocks ere severely botched from Lipo so there are some similarities- just a different situation.) Did the actual cellulaze treatment cause indentations in your thighs though? Because I was considering cellulaze for the sorta loose skin and wavy type cellulite on the front of my thighs since I heard it's good for wavy cellulite versus cellulite divots / indentations . But Ive never heard of it actually causing indentations until now. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I workout a lot too and work so hard to gain muscle and then the cellulite , botched Lipo indentations , and loose skin makes me not wanna reveal the body I work so hard for -so I can't even show my new muscles .

Cellulaze is bad. Dont do it. Dented me up way worse
