bbl lipo ruined my stomach!!! - Miami Beach, FL

ORIGINAL POST

This review is for the lipo I had done with my BBL...

$5,000
This review is for the lipo I had done with my BBL. It completely ruined my entire midsection including my sides and back. I'm left with unevenness, ridges, bumps, holes and immense amounts of hardened scar tissue. No one can touch the bottom half of my abdomen without me cringing and I can not wear anything that shows my stomach. I had a revision on the lower half since it was left uneven with pockets of fat, only to make it way worse leaving me with lines and hardened ridges all over the place. Both sides of my waist are uneven. I am always in pain because of this from the tightening of tissue and inflammation. It has caused issues with my entire pelvis. I was self conscious before and wished to wear a bikini, 2 surgeries later and thousands of dollars and I still can't. It's worse than when I just had fat there.
I have no clue what to do now and have no money to fix it.

Wait at least 6months even a year. And Consider getting a tummy tuck.
But there is no skin there to do one. It is super tight. How do they get rid of the scar tissue
I'm no doctor, but sometimes a tummy tuck is about more than skin tightening. When they open you up in that area (leaving the same type of midsection scar) the doctor will be able to pull the skin back a bit and thus remove the scar tissue and anything else that may be going on underneath your skin there.
I would NOT go to the same surgeon. Look for another that specializes in fixing other's mistakes or someone who has done a whole lot of tummy tuck surgeries at the very least.
Yes def. thanks. I think someone is going to have to cut through the scar tissue. It feels like all my skin and everything else under there is just stuck in the scar tissue.its always painful and I can barely stretch in certain ways as I just feel stuck.
Did you get any lymphatic drainage massages after your liposuction? Maybe you can try some now. They are probably most effective right after surgery, but it can't hurt to try it now to see if it can loosen up any of the tissue there.
Honestly these barely help. This is a load of crap surgeons tell us to buy time.

Thank you for sharing your photo and experience on RealSelf.  I hope you find support in our community.

Where did you go to get it done?

I had a bad lipo too and now needs a mini TT to fix the problem. I will do the surgery in 7 months. So your best bet is Mini TT and you will be happy. But like you know it will cost you more money.
Thanks for the real comments of people that's had bad exsperences !
