Oh my.... I'm so sorry you have had to go through all of this.  I noticed you asked about your best surgical options in the Doctor Q&A, here is a link for anyone who wants to see.  Good luck with choosing a surgery and doctor, I wish you all the best.

Thanks guys; you really are the best. I'm as shocked as you are that this happened to me. I'm trying to see what I can do; but I don't have a lot of skin to be stretched for an abdominalplasty, and lasers won't get rid of these scars or even help them much. I'm stuck in what I feel is a situation that can't be helped. :-(

Have they determined what. Went wrong? Or why your skin reacted this way

I saw the necrotic lesions & open sores, and I figured your physician used ONLY Deoxycholate. That stuff eats away at fat and everything else if used in high doses. It is great for dissolving lipomas (hard fatty tumor with a collagen sheath in the subcutaneous layer of skin). Deoxycholate is supposed to be used at no more than 2-3% of the solution that is used. Most EXPERIENCED physicians know to mix it with Phosphatidylcholine rather use it alone. Most mesotherapy suppliers sell it already mixed (PC/DC). Well lucky for you, your skin healed and the damage didnt spred further then that area. I have seen WAY worse and you are truly blessed. Moving forward, you should find a really good cosmetic surgeon and get liposuction & scar revision. In the mean time I suggest using silicone adhesive-strips & silicone gel on your scars. Always keep them moisturized to help them to continue to heal with less scaring. Good luck to you.

Hi Carollyn, I have had bad experiences myself, but it was with a chemical peel gone wrong and I lived with it for about 7 yrs. So I know where you're coming from. What I have learned from this is that it's best to do things that are less invasive and would advise against you doing any further serious procedures to that area. I just recently had a micropen session which essentially uses microneedles to resurface the skin and it looks like it woulf be very helpful for your situation, too. It's similar to the fraxel laser, except they're not using damaging lasers to treat you but instead are using a needling treatment that will spark your body to repair itself thru stimulating the collagen. I've seem it do miracles on stretchmarks of the stomach area, so I'm sure it would be strong enough to help you with repairing your skin. You can get a consult to find out what a doctor thinks. I did alot of research before selecting a doctor here in Oklahoma. I also hope you are taking probiotics after all the antibiotic therapy. It looks like your skin has healed a great deal, so I'm glad to see that! Best of luck to you, Deb

You could buy a dermaroller on ebay and then apply 4% hydroquinone. That will lighten the scars.

If you keloid, I wouldn’t risk microneedling. (I saw some people comment recommending that to you) hope you are well, so sorry you are going through this nightmare.
