LIPO; Was It Worth the Price?

Disgusted with my results

RedHell
$15,500
Today marks my 1yr surgery anniversary. I am very disappointed & dissatisfied with the results. Wrinkles, indentations, lumps and bumps. I try not to think of the money spent. I spent 4 hrs in the Dr's office and the actual surgery was only 1 hour. I think that's part of the problem. 1 hour for liposuction on my interior and anterior thighs, knees, lower back, love handles, sides (waist) and butt fat transfer. No way is that the correct amount of time. I workout at the gym 5x a week & yoga 3x a week and if I don't do that I look worse. I no longer wear shorts outdoors nor a bikini to the beach. I've been wearing a bikini for 35yrs now I wear Lycra shorts to my knees for the beach. No difference in measurements either. Where's the small waist the Dr kept insisting he was giving me.

I am so sorry this has happened to you .. I can totally hear you . Same is happening to me now , I am 3 months post op and not only I don't like my results, I also might have permanently ruined my stomach too .. people are barely noticing the difference too although my torso changed a lot as I barely have one now ! I also used to wear bikini and show off my stomach now I feel might never do . Can't even let my husband see it . It keeps me awake at night . It is very depressing . But didn't you try going back to your surgeon? Mine is happy to do a revision for free and offered me free ultrasound and radio frequency sessions .

The thighs will need the extra skin removed. It's the same for me. My doctor stopped at the point where I would have major loose skin however losing weight only aids in the noticeable loose skin.

I feel my surgery was botched. The more I see & feel my body the more defects I find. Below are pics of what I now look like laying on my stomach, side, & back. I look worse in these positions than before surgery.

I regret having this procedure done

RedHell
Almost 7 months since my surgery and I am regretful, disappointed, disgusted, depressed, saddened, & embarrassed by my decision & results. I can't stand to see myself naked. I can no longer wear a bikini. The lumps, bumps, indentations, wrinkled skin, and rolls where there never were before is horrible. My inner thighs still rub together. I still wear shorts under my dresses & skirts because of it. I had this surgery so I wouldn't have to do that anymore. My thighs are wrinkly, & jiggly like a deflated balloon. I have a very visible indentation on my right thigh above the knee. The measurements have not improved or lessened. I have a roll that appears over my pants, & when I lay on my stomach my butt lays up on my lower back creating a huge roll of fat. I tanned today and you can see where my butt covers up my lower back. Where are the curves & small waist the Dr promised. I didn't have rolls of fat so my results should have been much better & noticeable.. I've gained & lost weight many times throughout the years but I've always loved my body.. I HATE my body now!
