Not For Liposuction! Unnatural & Disproportional Results - Skokie, IL

I have a body shape with heavier legs/thighs/butt and wanted to get my outer thighs lipoed so they wouldn't stick out so much. I saw Dr. Turowski's credentials, checked out his before/after photos online and felt confident he would be the doctor for the job. I explained what I wanted and he seemed to understand the look I was going for. The day of surgery he marked the areas to be lipoed and performed the surgery. All went well, I was swollen for a few weeks but everything looked great. After about a month the swelling went away and that's when I saw that he lipoed my upper legs, BELOW the outer thighs instead of the actual thighs as discussed and marked before surgery! I have no idea how it happened that he lipoed the wrong area. He did what HE thought would look good, not what I wanted done. So now I have skinny upper legs and big thighs/butt. Very unnatural and disproportional result. It's been 9 years and I hate seeing it every time I look in the mirror. He does not have a vision of what a good body contour should look like. If I have big thighs and butt, why would he think it's a good idea to make my upper legs skinny?? I never went back to him to complain bc I was traumatized by the whole experience and would NOT want him working on me again. I would not recommend him for lipo. Please think twice before going to him as he can disfigure your body. I am currently looking to have a fat transfer done to fix the mess he made. Wish me luck!

I'm sorry about that. I felt the same way after my procedure in December, but recently had an excellent experience with a wonderful surgeon who fixed mistakes for me. Direct message me if you want more info.

I'm so sorry to hear about what this doctor did to you. I've been researching thigh liposuction to see what the after effects would look like. I plan on having thigh liposuction and possible lipo of my arms, but I'm afraid I might be left with lumps. Can you please post pictures of the lipo on your legs? I just want to make sure that I research this thoroughly before getting the lipo in these areas. Thanks in advance for any pictures you post and good luck with your journey on fixing your legs.
