Update to lumps
Since I last made an update. Dr. Shifrins office has moved to a new location l. Once they moved they kept their word and contacted me to come into the office to address the dents that were left from when the lumps were drained.
There was an in office procedure done.
I can’t lie.... it was extremely painful. Although they numbed the area I still felt the poking and sticking. It felt like I was being stabbed with a knife over and over. I will say my pain tolerance is much lower that the average.
It’s been about 3 months since the touch ups has been done. The main spot that had the lump and was drained still had a small knot or lump there. It still looked bruised and I’m not sure if it will ever go away.
Now 3 months after he has touched up that spot. It looks noticeably uneven. Like a layer of fat was placed there but didn’t blend with the rest. It almost look like a huge mosquito bite. It’s even noticeable under my clothing. I really do love Dr. Shifrins office and staff. They have provided great customer service. However, this portion on my butt looks abnormal. I don’t even want to wear a swimsuit. Or clothing that’s tight because you can see it through my clothing.
I have a follow up appointment coming up in a few weeks. I will update with what they advised could be done. Honestly, I’m scared I will be left looking like this.

Update 7/17/28
I just want to provide an update. Dr. Shifrin and Dr. West advised me they would provide a touch up to the areas that had dents/ dimples. Things were postponed until they got to their new office. However, sure enough I received a call from the office setting the procedure up. I was very impressed because I didn’t have to run them down. They stood behind their work and did not charge me anything extra for the touch ups. I will say the touch ups hurt like hell and I would have rethought getting them if I knew the details. They numbed my back in the same area where the initial incision were. Dr. West went in those areas and liposuction my back and they cleaned the fat and transferred to the small areas on my butt.
I will provide photos in about 3 months to show the outcome. Currently my back has lots of swelling but that is to be expected.
Overall I’m pleased with the work done and I would absolutely recommend Dr. Shifrin. I love Dr. West and the rest of staff. I can appreciate they stand behind their work. I know of doctors that has botched the client and disregards the client concerns.
I feel and look great. I can say this was the best investment I’ve made for myself. This gives me confidence and make me feel beautiful.
If you’re considering the surgery. I will say the process can be scary. There will be a lot of pain initially and many questions wondering if things are normal. I would say trust the process. Time and patience will yield the results you want.

Follow up 3 months
Overall I’m pleased with my results. If you look back you will see the pictures of the lump that formed. Today I went in for my 3 month post op and told Dr. West about my concern. He used a needle and sucked out the fat that did not take. Instantly it look back to normal. Now I can tell dent or more like a crater. I will give it some time to see if it smooths out. Would I recommend Dr. Shifrin office? Yes. They are very personable and friendly and do great work.
