Liposuction With DeVecchio

Updating with photos from 2 days ago on 4/17/21 - stomach hasn’t gotten any better unfortunately. Still very unhappy

So I wanted to give an ample amount of time before updating my review to make sure my body had enough time to heal and “settle.” Here I am 10 months later minus $9k in my bank account, and I’m not happy at all. During several follow up appts I expressed to Dr. D that I still had quite a bit of fat in my mid and upper back areas (where he was supposed to have lipo’d at for the lipo 360) and he kept saying it’s just swelling. Then on post-op visit number 5 he finally admitted and agreed that there was indeed quite a bit of fat left, and he’d rather wait until I was completely healed before touching it. I also had an EXTREME case of fibrosis during the healing process and still have some today. He even made a comment about being afraid to touch me again because I’m prone to having fibrosis. As per his suggestion I’ve spent upwards of an additional $3k on lymphatic drainage massages to get rid of the fibrosis but I’m still left with several hardened areas. Also, I’ve recently gone to another plastic surgeon who confirmed for me what I already felt - that Dr. D was overly aggressive in some areas of my stomach (which has the lower part of my tummy looking deformed and uneven), and not aggressive enough in other areas (like my mid and upper back that pretty much look untouched). I’m so disappointed because at 5’9, 165lbs, I wasn’t an overweight girl to begin with - just a few front and back rolls that I developed after recently having two babies. I’m now down to 149lbs and was hoping it would help how my tummy and back looks but nope. I’ve gone on several beach vacations thus far and have yet to wear a bikini instead of a one piece. I wouldn’t recommend Dr. D if you’re just going for lipo like I did. He kept asking me if I wanted a BBL too but I said no because I was fine with my butt. I guess he’s ok as far as BBL’s from what I’ve seen, and I guess it’s easier for him to lipo properly and evenly when he knows he needs enough fat to transfer to your butt. But I’m my case? He failed me, and now I’m going to a different doctor to make it right.

Wanted to post a couple of new photos. I started getting the lymphatic drainage massages and they have to frigging stick me with a needle and drain me each time because I have so much fluid since Dr. D sewed up my incisions and didn’t put any drains in. I’m still extremely swollen and lumpy. The massages and draining hurts like hell but I do feel relief afterwards once the fluid is removed.
