Severe lipo burns/bruises - so self-conscious

Cont'd Severe Lipo Burns/Bruises

I had minimal characters so I'm continuing my review on my burned back. I just wanted to attach pictures. The bedside manner was great but it ended at some point. Burned back and bruised arms 9 months later. My Burns will never go away. Scarred for life.

I'm so sorry. Burns are so very painful. M not that familiar with liposuction so I don't know how it is that you got burned. Can you explain?

So sorry to see you've gone through that! I don't think those are burns. It looks like necrosis, which happens when blood vessels are damaged and blood flow is cut. The body is trying to repair itself, hence why that appearance. You should go to the doctor to make sure your skin is getting blood supply back.

Oh my gosh! I am so sorry that you had to go through that. How is it even possible for that to happen without the surgeon being alerted to what was going on during the procedure?!

I'm PERMANENTLY scarred

Firstly, Dr. Andan absolutely attempted to correct the severe burns on my entire back due to liposuction. I'm PERMANENTLY scarred. My back is so ugly; I'm depressed. Cannot wear swimwear/anything that exposes my back. So self-conscious. Especially during the warm seasons and intimacy.

Omg I’m so sorry that you have to experience this. We go to these drs to make us more beautiful not to make matters worse than they were before coming in.

Thank you for sharing.

Am so sorry for this. You must be so frustrated. The Dr. should apologize strongly and reimburse you your money and treat the burns with laser to minimize scarring. Otherwise sue him!
