Too much fat was taken out and it looks uneven

Do Not Go Here for Liposuction!

I went to Complete laser clinic on January 29th 2021. Since I live in Georgia I did a online consultation, and sent in my pictures only. Dr. Lee gave me a call and discussed what he could do for me. I paid my deposit for surgery and set my date. I went to have surgery I got aggressive liposuction on my lower legs, lower back, and maybe love handles, with fat transfer to breast. I was supposed to have my love handles done but I don't see much of a difference at all. After surgery I was in alot of pain, I was draining so much fluids. My lower back felt like someone poured acid on a open wound. I had to go to the hospital to make sure everything was alright. During my healing process I kept up to date with the coordinator/ Dr. Lee on my progress. I also informed them that my lower thigh liposuction looked horrible. That too much fat was taken out and it looked uneven from my upper thigh... I never imagined that my lower thigh would turn out like this. I figured the doctor would make my thighs look more even. Or Tell me that's not a good spot to do liposuction!! I am now even more embarrassed to show my thighs! They look absolutely horrible even in pants you can tell my thighs are tiny at the bottom. Last month September 2021 I reached out to Complete laser clinic to set a consultation for a Revision. I want to get fat added back to even my thighs out. I was told that I would have a Zoom consultation and set my appointment. On the day of my appointment Ash the coordinator called me. Ash stated that Dr. Lee Turner doesn't do Zoom consultations for revisions... What really!? I was told this after I set my appointment and they know I live in another state! How was I able to get booked for surgery using just pictures.. but now that I am requesting a Revision I have to come in.. what a huge inconvenience to me! And I believe Dr. Turner just doesn't want to do the revision so that's why he asking me to come in. Knowing that I most likely won't be able too! Also I don't want to drive 5hrs just to hear him say he can't help me!! He never spoke to me via phone call after surgery to even say he could maybe help... I was just told by Ash the coordinator to come in.... Come in for what to hear that you can't help me!? I have been asking for my medical records for a month now. And no one will send it to me. This place is a scam.. I do not appreciate this. If I am not accommodated in any way, I will have to take this a step further. Let's work together to make the customer happy!

This is so upsetting :( I'm sorry this happened to you. I went through something similar. It just makes me mad that there is such horrible work done and we can't undo it :(

Thank you! I hate looking at my thighs now ugh. I talked to another doctor he said he can try to add fat back to make it a little better. Did you go to Dr. Turner also? Sorry you're going through it also.

I have been living with lipo defects for 2 years :( No it was a different doctor. It was for breast fat transfer. I have been researching doctors that specialize in revision with fat grafting, and I found a few options. Make sure you find someone who has alot of pictures of actual revisions! They all say they can do it, but it's not easy. I hope i can save enough money soon to get it fixed.

And unfortunately i only found out after the surgery, that the front of the thighs are rarely lipoed! Only in rare cases, and if so very minimally. So I basically have defects everywhere - front of thighs, flanks, inner thighs. It's not fun.

Honestly I would not go back for revision, to the doctor that botched me, even if it's for free. You have one body and you should find someone who will really help you.

Yes that's what I am doing now saving and looking for a good doctor. I've been looking at doctors that do reconstructive surgery.. I think they maybe more skilled. But I am still looking it's so hard finding a good doctor!

You're absolutely correct! I did actually drive all the way to NC. And all he told me was I need a thigh lift.. And he needed to feel my skin to tell me that.. like really what a waste! But it was a blessing he didn't do the revision. He could have made it worse.

Did the lipo and fat transfer to breast make up for the botched thighs work?

Unfortunately no because all the fat died in my breast.. it was a complete waste.. The lower back lipo made my boot stick out more.. but when I lay on my stomach my extra skin rolls into my waist now. Lol so I am screwed all the way around.
