After having lipo in March than a revision in October it looks like I didn't have anything done to myself so $10,000 later I'm back to where I started. Unhappy with my belly.
I literally changed my whole life style 1 month before surgery stopped drinking no fast food went from drinking no water daily to drinking a gallon daily spent $2,100 on post op massages and fajas. This surgeon literally stole my $ and went about his business with no care. Now to sit here and wait till I can afford to pay a REAL SURGEON because obviously he must've not been board certified or just plain ol sucked at his job.

I thank you for sharing your updates. As with all my patients if there are any issues at all I would encourage them to re-consult in the office, I am always available to discuss any concerns with patients. All my patients have my cell phone and they are aware that I am more than willing to speak with them. You are currently 3 months postoperative, in terms of optimal results from liposuction the final result can take up to 6 months for the swelling to completely resolve. I would also encourage you to share your before and after pictures, we had requested your permission to share these as they were dramatic results. I wish you the best and do encourage you to follow-up for your 3 months visit to the office so we can address any concerns you may be having.

What a shame. There's definitely something wrong with what he did. I sure hope you get the work you want. Maybe Mexico at this point.

I had a revision of back bra rolls and under bra roll. Same doctor same result. It'll be 3 months in a few days post op from the revision and still not satisfied. I'm still in my compression garment, still don't sit on my butt yup haven't fully sat on my behind since March I drive with a rolled up fleece blanket under thighs. My butt is blah it's definitely not what I paid for. Nor is my stomach

Thank you once again for your feedback. Your revision was performed for your back bra rolls not for your abdomen. Your abdominal results were so dramatic we requested your permission to show your pictures from your 6 month postoperative appointment. As with all my patients I am always available via phone or in the office to discuss any concerns you have. I wish you the best and look forward to seeing you in my office.

Back rolls still there

Trying to stay positive and didn't want to try on bathing suits just a month post op but I did and I regret it. Back rolls are still there not as big but they are there and under the bra roll in front is there. Experiencing now a burning / heat feeling under my skin on my waist. I read it's the nerves coming back to life. Still in my compression garment, I tried sleeping without it and had the heat feeling on my waist went away once I put compression garment on.
For what I paid and went thru it was for me not to have a complaint and it be done correctly the first time around. Been drinking a gallon of water a day, salads and no fried foods I have some ice cream to " feed the fat" which I feel should have been more fat put in like I asked but he put 500cc I haven't sat on butt in a month and it's not as hard as people think it is. I have my beach chair with hole cut into it and lay on my stomach to sleep as usual. I work with children so I kneel a lot during day. I've vowed no sitting for at least 2 months but going to push for the whole 3 months to save what ever fat I have.

It takes about 6 mnths to see the final result. It could just be swelling.

Overall, for the areas you had done they did not remove enough fat. Based on your pic it looks like less than a liter (the fat is sitting on top of the blood). My suggestion is to try vaser lipo under sedation for your revision work. It gives the best results as the ultrasound completely dissolves the fat and makes it easier to be removed. Search here for vaser lipo and pics. I had great success with it. Inbox me if you have any questions. I'm so sorry you had to go thru this only to not be happy.

I agree that not enough fat was taken out. I have my 3 month post op appt next month so let's see what he offers.
Thank you. Much appreciated

I would hope a retouch. I would specifically ask about vaser lipo. I had smart/tumescent lipo twice and it never yielded thr results I wanted. This last time I got vaser and it was like night and day. Total transformation like the pics seen here. It couldn't hurt to ask.

Good luck!

do you have before and after pictures to show me? I don't think their office does vaser lipo. They only do smart lipo and mini tummy tucks but I'll ask.

I do. I will send to you.

I can't attach pics in private msg. Email me and I will send to you.
