Devastating Results

My torso looks way worse than before the surgery, I looked deformed now and I'm lopsided. I specifically asked him to insure at minimum I have a waist, to sinch it and take some of my tummy fat out. But give me a silhouette. His bedside manner was cold. Sonobello only required a 10-14 day pist surgery visit when they fitted me for a garment. Prior to that I wore this hard binder for 2 weeks which started my rock formation stomach look. I should've gotten a garment immediately after surgery. At 3 wks I start complaining about the hardness and bulges on my flanks so the called me in and did aparated those areas to no betterment. I went back 3 more times and he did this, only worsening my issues. I asked him if i should get lymphatic massages and he never looked at me and said, "sure" and nothing else. Unbeknownst to me I'm developing seromas and severe fibrosis. Sonobello could careless about your post op care and outcome. Lymphatic massages are critical to your faster healing and best results. Now I have a chest and shape like a dude with a rocky egg shape and no waist to be thought of. I indured a lot of pain physically and emotionally watching myself grow into a monster not to mention I'm broke and embarrassed as folks tell me.."I told you it wouldn't work " Can a doctor please help me. I'm 60 years old and made a bad decision with a less than caring surgeon/organization. How do I fix this? :-( Is it to late?

Looks like he used too much lazer, another doctor told me too much lazer gives off a burnt victim result

I'm so sorry this is your outcome! Sonobello is the worst choice for plastic surgery in my opinion.

Devastating Results Revised

No procedure is perfect. After going back and talking to Dr. Dawson I must say his bedside manner was better. He listened to my result concerns and agreed that he would make corrections to my area of concern after getting to my 6 month mark. Perhaps my scar tissue will soften more on my left flank by then with additional lymphatic massages. I appreciated him giving me a plan to correct it. Other than that left flank the rest of my torso is good but I need it to match. I will update again soon. Meantime, I've learned that lymphatic massages are KEY to healing faster with better results something Sonobello does not promote, however, GREATLY effective.

Did they recommend a tummy tuck? That would really improve your results in the abdominal area.

You can massage yourself.start now as much as you can. Check out my Lipo review. I was botched as well. I massaged daily and use ultrasound and did castor oil packs. All I could to break up scar tissue and smooth it out. Massage massage massage. Roll the skin. It can definitely help some at least with the scar tissue. Don't lost hope. But don't let him do Lipo on you again to fix it will only make more scar tissue.

Sounds like the doctors bedside manner was better because he knew he did a bad job and is liable. DO NOT let this doctor perform anymore procedures on you.
