Fixing Botched Leg. Betrayed by Previous Doctor

WORTH IT
Hi girls so I decided to write down my experience since reading other girls has helped me so much.
I had a BBL dine back in 2014 that turned out great, except for a small deformity on my lower belly. But I was happy overall. In late 2020 once things were getting back to normal I decided to gift myself with a procedure to fix the minor botch in my belly. I went to this well known doctor in Brazil that did my breasts 10 years ago because I really trusted her and she made it seem that it wouldn't be hard to fix at all. I was thin and she said the only place she could take fat from was my outer thighs. I was horrified and said I really loved my "saddlebags" and made her promise that she would only take the minimum a ount possible, she said she would need like 100cc max. I commented many times that I didn't want to change my thighs much at all and she refused to take the fat from my knees. So when I woke up from the surgery u wanted to die as I coulddnt recognize my body on the mirror anymore. She e ded up taking 600cc of my legs!!!!
I couldn't believe this. Later when I asked her she said it's the beauty standard and that I look so much better. I never cried so much in my life.. fast forward 1 year and the bumps and dents started to show up. Now my ass/hips are lopsided and my left leg has a dent. And my belly is NOW MUCH WORSE.

I walked to her again and threatened to sue, she apologized and returned my money but the damage is done. And now I'm on a journey to try to at least make my legs look balanced again.
Dr Rodrigo Rosique was the best doctor I have talked to so I decided to go with him. He asked me to gain some weight and we will try to harvest some fat from my arms and upper stomach, maybe knees... he is my last hope.

First I'd like to say that I am so happy to have chosen Dr Rosique! I have no doubts that him and his wife did their absolute best to help me! They also have the sweetest team. It's so refreshing to know a doctor that isn't only worried about money but truly care about his patients.

It's hard to figure the best way to say everything I want so I will post in parts:

1. Eat well and drink a LOT of water on your post op! Specially foods like salmon, avocado, eggs, things rich in good fats, protein and healthy carbs. It will help you so much with maintaining fat, reduce swelling and have your intestines working asap.

2. use foam pads all around and choose a soft garment! I used a soft dr Rey shapewear (barely any tightening, and very soft on legs) and packed it with pads on lipoed areas, then later I used a Velcro waist trainer (with 3 straps) to tighten the lipo foams against my body. This will help with your swelling SO MUCH and help you feel comfortable throughout.

3. STUDY YOUR BODY before surgery! This is so important because no one knows your model more than you. Look at it, take pics and videos in different angles and lights. Pinpoint exactly what upsets you, what you wanted changed the most, what would take to help you feel better about it. I even photoshopped my own pics trying to figure what could be the best pathway with minimum amount of change (I thought I'd not have enough fat) to look better.

4. I gained 20kg/44lbs prior to surgery a d Dr R was able to find 80pcc viable fat! He applied around 550cc on left side and 260cc on right side (yes, it was very lopsided)

5. my left side does show a little absorption where I had the worst dent but my shape looks much improved overall! My legs aren't obviously lopsided anymore and I feel very happy.

Sorry about the dark pics but I think it shows perfectly what Dr Rodrigo did to my silhouette

I know I'm only 4 weeks in but I feel hopeful my results will sustain and just keep improving. I will be back after 6 weeks!!
