Random extreme cellulite!

So I know I mentioned something about it before, but I swear it's getting worse. I have cellulite all down my legs, and even a little dimplin in my arms!! I never had any cellulite anywhere before!! Maybe a dimple or two under my butt, but now it's all down the front and side of my legs even Onto my knees! And now it's starting on my arms. I'm freaking out. I havnt gained weight, I know it's from the liposuction, but I didn't even have lipo on my legs or arms. This surgery did something that totally aged my skin. My legs look like I'm 60 and I can't even wear shorts anymore. I'm only 25 lol this is horrible. I know I have some vascular damage on my stomach I wonder if that has anything to do with it? Everywhere I see, doctors say lipo doesn't cause cellulite, but sooo many girls claim they get it after lipo, and the before and after pictures even on doctors pages show more cellulite. Look at how bad it is!! I had nice smooth legs before. I have to go back for a revision to fix my stomach and I'm worried that it's just going to make it worse. Has anyone else had this problem? Does it go away?!

I had that happen to me back in 2004. What I think happened was the doctor was over aggressive with lipo on my legs and arms. It cause the skin to look like it's sagging. Like you my thighs looked like an old person. Over the years I've tried to build muscle in my arms and thighs in an attempt to fill in the skin.

Did trying to build more muscles work for you?

I can't believe it's already been 21 weeks. 5 months this weekend. Luckily, this process wasn't very painful for me, because I have to go back for a revision. My stomach unfortuanitly never smoothed out, so I'm going back to hopefully fix it. I've read a lot of reviews on uneven stomach healing being close to impossible to fix, but dr. Salzhauer seems pretty confident. Since I do have to go through this again I'm going to have him round out my butt a little more, one cheek is a little bigger than the other, hopefully add a little projection, and fill in my right hip. Here's a pic of my good cheek lol the one that projects more. These are my booty jeans H&M $20.00 make your booty pop way more than any of my other jeans. I have a light pair that make it look even bigger. I'll post more info when I have a date and stuff :)

You look good your results are very natural. I'm 26 wks post & going back for revision for the exact same reasons u are. I hate to get lipo on my abs, back & flanks again because for me recovery was long & brutal so I might just leave my stomach but I do want my left cheek rounded out more like my right. I also have a knot on my left hip where fat died that has to be removed.

Yes! Me too. My left cheek is smaller than my right. I also have one knot in my back, and one knot on each back love handle area. And then the uneven stomach. When are you going bak?

ghurani private practice

bootywanted
Anyone that was involved in the drama with ghurani with vanity/elite as i was.. paid in full and found out on here he wasn't doing bbls there.. i had to call them!! I had my plane tickets n everything.. they were making people fluly out there to go to different "surgeons" who in fact are not even surgeons. One of their top bbl doctors is a dermatologist.. who just recently had a patient pass away from performing a bbl.. this was a blessing in disguise. So.happy i didn't end up there... he finally opened his own private practice. No more drama. Just thought id sharethis info with people interested in him. Just recieved an email from his office and im sure most of you that have contacted him on here will.. its just called ghurani plastic surgery. Heres the number 305-477-4575
