I Am Happy Again...

WORTH IT$1,200
A giant lipoma appeared on my right hip 4 years ago but I didn't do anything about it back then. Last year I decided it to remove it with liposuction. I went to a different doctor office located in PA for the procedure, I guess I didn't do my home work and didn't know all the consequences of a bad liposuction, so I ended up botched with a dent. That was 8 months ago. I actually was depressed for few months after the botched liposuction.
After over 6 months of online research, I decided to use renuva to fix dent because I was so scared of going through another liposuction and risk another botched area. So I selected PSANJ because I felt really comfortable there during the consultation.
Amber Nigam, PA ( the nice lady who did the injection) did a great job, she saved my body and life, I actually was crying of happiness when I got home after the procedure.
I am so thankful to her and her office for giving me my life back.
The injection was more painful than what I thought tho but the area is healing nicely.
I will probably need a second session because some of Renuva will die or absorbed by the body.

Renuva update
TheOne1978July 23, 2021
So here is an update at about 12 weeks after first injection: I see a settle improvement, very settle, I still can clearly see the dent but it’s not as deep as before. I think I will need more than 2 sessions which is expected. I was hoping to get at least %50 improvement but I certainly didn’t get that.
I went today for my second session of Renuva. It was already hydrated this time.
We discussed first session results with my injector, she thinks it improved by only %25 ( not the typical %50) she said because the damaged area was too thin ( too damaged, it was almost paper thin when I squeezed it), there isn’t much fat left there, she said first session was building a base for renuva. I am hoping 2nd session will give me much better results than first session.

Was there scar tissue in the area prior to treatment? I wonder if that also impacts results.

Hello. Thanks for sharing. Really appreciate the update as I am scheduled for my Renuva treatment in August.
I had a fat transfer as part of a revision liposuction and trust me 25% retained volume is what you get with this process as well. I would take Renuva any day over another lipo.

You’re welcome. I agree with you, I will never go through another liposuction again!!!
I hope your results will be great!

I've had Renuva 3 times and my experience has been that less than 10% of the filling actually stays at the 6 month mark. Far too many reviews and pictures are taken in the first week. Even the advertisements. They are misleading to say the least.

Renuva update
TheOne1978September 6, 2021
Just wanted to post a quick Renuva update after second session. I believe second session worked much better than first session. Its been a little over 6 weeks, by this time the first session dissipated almost completely and I thought Renuva didn't work at all. Second session at 6 weeks seemed to be working much better.
I attached a comparison photo of my dent from front. Left side is before any renuva treatment, right is after 2 sessions of Renuva ( 6 weeks after second session). Also, discoloration from liposuction improved significantly.
Dont get me wrong, I still can see dent but its not as bad as before. I believe I am now at a total of %50-60 improvement. I hope third session will give the smooth finish that I want. But will see if forth session is needed.
I will add an update 3 months after 2nd session/ before third session of Renuva later.

Hi. It looks almost perfect again. So grateful for your posts/ updates. I had my Renuva treatment for inner thigh irregularities 4 weeks ago. I would say 50% of the product is gone already, but I expected this result. I had no fat left in those dents. Hoping for a better improvement with the 2nd treatment in a couple of months. Expensive though.

It is expensive! Some plastic surgeons mix it with scluptra, I think it’s cheaper this way and you get better results. I hope you retain the %50 improvement so far.
To be honest I didn’t see any change after the 6-7 week mark, I thought it was supposed to populate with your own fat but I don’t think that happened with me. At 6-7 weeks; what you see is what you get! I don’t think it works differently than typical fat transfer. But maybe I am wrong!!
Please consider adding a renuva review to help those who got botched like us.

Hello. Any updates? Thinking of doing it but I do not know how long it will last.

The reason I asked about what kind of Renuva you got was because I was told it could be mixed with saline and also some lidocaine can be added for pain management. I thought you should know in case you need a 2nd treatment.
It’s the 3-4 days after, the area was so painful to the touch that I couldn’t let me clothes touch the area.
