I had lipo revision from Dr. Stanley Okoro in...

$10,000
I had lipo revision from Dr. Stanley Okoro in Atlanta GA in April. I had expectations that it would be a successful surgery from the amount of lipo revisions he had stated he performed. Unfortunately, I spent $10,000 & saw no improvement. I had 5 hours of anesthesia with only thermitight on my lower abdomen & lower flanks & upper back. He also did some blending which was supposed to improve the irregularities & indentions. He suggested exilis & I purchased that package as well. I had no idea that thermitight did not need to be done under anesthesia & I had paid a very hefty price for OR time etc. On my 3 month post op, Dr. Okoro was able to clearly see there was no change & he suggested thermismooth body as the next step. I had already paid $4,000 more than I was quoted for revision lipo from other plastic surgeons in the Atlanta area & now Dr. Okoro wanted to charge me more for extra thermi treatments! I found it difficult to consider when almost no improvement was seen. I've reached out to GA Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in the past with the follow up surveys but no one has ever contacted me regarding my concerns. The follow up with office staff regarding quotes etc. is very poor & it takes several attempts before anyone answers your questions. I am very disappointed in Dr. Okoro's commitment to patient satisfaction & I'm sorry to say, i would never recommend GA Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery to anyone.

I will also note that Thermitight's claim to tighten skin had no effect on my skin. Dr. Okoro is a clinical teacher for thermitight & my procedure was done under anesthesia with plenty of time, preparation & an ability to do it at the maximum strength. It still made no difference.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. It's an unfortunate situation. I only had a consultation with him, and for the life of me I do not know why he's so expensive!!

I am sorry that this is happening to you. Hopefully they will get back to you with some treatment options or resolution. Good Luck!!

I am so sorry . I know how you feel!
Seems like a you maybe needed a Tummy tuck instead revision,what is shown in pictures... Such a shame those Dr's take the money (lot of money) and do terrible work and mistakes and make bad decisions!
I am very sorry. Even he is getting back to you I am not sure if you want him to work on you again...

That is horrible! I am so sorry that this happened to you. If you still want a revision look into Doctor Kat Begovic. She's in CA but her revision work is great. You can watch her videos on snapchat, YouTube, and her staff gets back to you within a few hours.

She is one my list , and few months ago a person on this webpage had a revision by her ,spend around $17000. she's back to ripples and dents ...;( after4months post op .
My hope just crushed. And sad for her. She really have a sad story. She was pregnant when she had first liposuction (she didn't know). How Dr did not know that ?
I really wish there is good Dr's For this problems.
Just wondering do you have a experience with Dr Kat?

Thank you all for your feedback. I wish you knew how much I value your comments & suggestions & I will give each of them much thought going forward.
I did want to provide an update to say that Dr. Okoro called after I wrote my review. I stand corrected on the Thermismooth device. Dr. Okoro said he did not own the new machine & GA Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery was being charged on their usage. Dr. Okoro did say he would speak to Thermismooth on my behalf to see if I can qualify as a "model" for before & after photos. The pictures I posted on realself are from Mytouchmd.com, taken at GA Plastics so Thermismooth would have pictures from the beginning of all of my Thermi procedures. This would help alleviate costs of some future investments on my revision so I am hopeful they'll work with me. Dr. Okoro discussed fat grafting before my revision surgery & he explained if I needed further improvement, he would consider this in several months. I do need to say that Dr. Okoro & his PA, Jenny did return an initial phone call pre-surgery when I inquired about including blending to the surgery to break up scar tissue. I was really hoping breaking up the scar tissue would have helped my irregularities.The other 2 Plastic Surgeons I had consultations with before choosing Dr. Okoro had seemed very focused on this aspect. Dr. Okoro did do the blending & clarified that thermitight was difficult to do on revisions due to the scar tissue & this is the reason he wanted to do it under anesthesia. He said I could still see improvements with thermitight up to a year although they also state most results are seen in about 3 months.
I wanted to provide this corrected information & to say my conversation with Dr. Okoro was informative.
I will show updates of the path I choose & hopefully the investment & time I've spent trying to correct this liposuction will finally bring a successful conclusion.

Why would they want to use you as a model if you've had no improvement? Would it be just for their personal use to study the no improvement? I doubt they would want to show the before and afters. I guess I'm not understanding. I hope you find a solution. Although many of us don't go into this expecting complete perfection, I think anyone would be justifiably upset with that outcome. I'm sending positive vibes your way (hugs).

If Thermi agrees, it would help me offset the costs of future skin tightening treatments that I will continue to need. I would hope they would see a difference if I had Thermismooth in conjunction with Thermitight. I have never had any expectation of perfection but I do hope to have some noticeable improvement with the investment I've made & will continue to make. Thank you so much for your message & positive vibes!

Ahhhh, I see. You're talking about two different procedures. I saw the 'therm' at the beginning of the word and thought you were talking about the same thing. Okay, now I see. I hope they agree to help reduce your costs. That's a lot of money to see no improvement. I hope time will also help with your results.

That's just so so so sad !! Why charge you for his MESS UP!! I wouldn't pay him a dime ! You can always talk with an ATTORNEY!! I know I surely will! I wish you all the best. Sorry you had to go through this.

How do you know she was messed up? She didn't say her age and did not post a "before" pic. I am wondering what the skin looked like before and how old she is.
September 4, 2016
Her before pics are up. He didn't mess her up. She already had the lumps from a previous surgery. He just didn't improve it at all. I see it happen a lot on reviews where the person is already super him or the doctor is too aggressive. Sometimes I think 'what is my doc had sucked out just one more ounce of fat. I'd be completely flat'. But then I think about the reviews I've seen with lumps and burns and think 'nah, my stomach is completely smooth with no burns, so I'm good'. Lol. I'm so sorry this has happened to her and although the doctor didn't technically mess her up, he should at least refund her some if not all of her money. No one pays $10,000 and goes into surgery expecting to see absolutely no results. I'm sure he had to have told her she'd see at least a little improvement.

I wish you the best...my lipo was disastrous as well and I have been trying to figure out what to do to correct mine for 5 years. I am anxious to see your results!

Why are you keep trying to make your skin tight? I believe you are esting time and money . You jefe s lift ( recession of the skin) from the front and back . Nothing else will work when the skin is that saggy .
Look at dr Peter Fisher from San Antonio . He is fabulous doctor and human being . He is an expert in lifts

Why not take the high road and try to help this patient gratis instead of charging more for additional treatment?
I would be beyond devastated with results like this revision or not.
