And I know it sounds silly, but I literally cry every day over what has been done and feel as if I will just be deformed for the rest of my life. I was always a confident person and would wear a bikini at all beach, pool outings, but will never feel able to show anyone other than my husband my stomach again. Even my twelve year old asked what was wrong with my stomach with a concerned look on his face the first and only time he saw it.

Also, gotta be honest: I paid for inner and outer upper thighs. Not seeing any difference in the saddlebags either. The only way you can tell which picture is after is the scars that the vanilla entry made.

“Cannula” not vanilla!
You are lucky not much fat was removed, leave it alone, I ended up with a belly like yours and too much fat removed from my saddlebags and I'm indented and the skin is irregular and my bootie looks saggy, again, my doctor (Petrosky) was Lyos teacher...
I saw your pics. Thanks for the info.
ORIGINAL POST
Ruined Abdomen
Wanted to get a little liposuction to de fluff and feel cute or a special birthday trip to the beach. I did my research and found a reputable plastic surgeon. He seemed very pleasant and knowledgeable during my consultation. Within a few weeks post op I noticed some ridges in my abdomen. I was assured that it would smooth out with time. It actually got worse. I did many lymphatic then deep tissue massages. I was told to wear my compression garment for two extra weeks (10 total) and was treated with kenalog injections to reduce the scar tissue. After ten months and no improvement, he wanted to charge me $10,000 more to “fix” the irregularities. I ended up going on a different doctor who told me that the damage to my abdomen was so severe, it can never be completely repaired.

I’m so sorry. Did they told you why this happened?
My doctor told me it was due to healing improperly due to ill fitting compression garments, but two other highly respected surgeons in my area told me it was from over aggressive Lipo to the area. I developed a huge sermon after surgery that needed to be drained and then when everything healed I developed severe adhesions in my abdomen that wold not soften.
Wow! I’m really sorry that you had that experience. I hope they can help you to improve it. I had Breast Reduction and Lipo on Dec 20 so I’m starting my healing process.
Wow, I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. I had lipo done by Dr. Lyos one week ago and am in healing now. Your post scares me! Besides your unfavorable results, what really alarms me is that he wanted to charge you 10K to fix the issue. That's horrible!
Sorry to her this has happened to you. Overly aggressive lipo sounds right. I remember when my sister and I went in for a consult for lipo and my sister was tiny like your before pics and the surgeon said he wouldn’t preform lipo on her because that is exactly what would happen he told her when you don’t have enough fat and lipo is done you will have lumpy skin afterwards. I am not sure but I wonder if you were to gain some weight, would it be possible to get a tummy tuck afterwards to remove the skin if it was loose.
I had horrible lipo results from George Bitar in Virginia. Overly aggressive, sloppy, terrible job. I wish I had not let him do it.
and uneven. He has no aesthetic sense.
I'm so sorry this happened, I went through the same thing but my doctor was Michael Petrosky from Marietta ,GA and he happens to be Dr. Lyos teacher or mentor.... I've been told that my lipo was overly aggressive so it doesn't surprise me Lyos is doing the same thing... I'm looking into a tummy tuck now to see if my belly can look better... xoxo
I had a mini tummy tuck in December and I still don't show my stomach. The skin smoothed out some, but I had too much internal scarring so it still looks uneven. Like a bed that was remade, but with pillows left under the covers. I may just be unlucky. I did not go back to Lyos for my revision as I didn't trust his surgery anymore. The new surgeon did a similar correction for a friend and hers looks great. Back in bikinis.
It's all so sad. I understand how If feels to be left like this. At least you do look better now. Any improvement helps. xoxo
