So after my second surgery I notice better results, when it comes to my back that is. There is not much diffrence when it comes to my abdomen. In my five month follow up I was told its just extra skin and my genetics. That I can never look the way I want to. When initially I was told it was possible to get close to my goal. It just doesn't feel like extra skin to me and my lower stomach is uneven. I thought liposuction was a way to reshape your body but I guess I was wrong. After having two surgeries and a 20,000 blood work bill that the lab tried to charge to my insurance ( which Doctor Lawton did take care of ) I wish I would of went somewhere else.

Response from Dr. Lawton:
Having reasonable expectations is critical to achieving a good outcome. At the consultation, pictures are reviewed, expectations are discussed and surgical possibilities are defined. Communication is continued with online platforms and printed educational materials. Sometimes perceptions get in the way of reality. Even free revision surgeries cannot change unrealistic expectations.

I'm sorry you didn't get the results you were looking for. I do see a difference but I know it's not as dramatic as you hoped. I'm having lipo in a week and I fear my waist won't be as "snatched" as I hope. How many liters did he remove?

Oh girl.. I'm so sorry you didn't get the results you wanted. Here in San Antonio, it's hard to find someone to do aggressive lipo. I ended up in Miami 3 times. 1 bbl 5 yrs ago, mommy makeover November 2016, and a revision on my bbl this past July. There's one area I regret not having lipoed and I've been searching here and nothing. Think I have to go back to Salama in Miami to fix the one spot I regret not doing.

It is unfortunate when all of the technical capabilities are used to their fullest extent and the expectations of the patient are not met. Appropriately aggressive lipo in indeed available in San Antonio but sometimes the expectations as evidenced by the photographs are not in line with the possibilities.

Thank you for sharing your review! What was the process like to get a touch up surgery? And did you have to pay? How’re you looking these days?

So I'm still unsatisfied with my results but Dr. Lawton has been working with me to make sure I am happy with the way I look and I'm sure in the end I will. I wanted to feel good about myself by the summer because I'm 24 and have never worn a two piece, so with that said I will have touch up surgery in May :) and I added a wish pic

The procedure went well I had more bruises this time but the recovery was faster. As far as the results I do notice a diffrence but still not what I expected but it has only been three months so let's see. I have only seen the doctor once since the surgery because he was on vacation. I will post pictures soon.
