Well people have a look at my photos and tell me what you think. I am horrified with the final results. After 2 attempts at laser lipo (with the same doctor), my leg is now totally disfigured.

Have you tried Ultrasound Liposuction? Some clinics do Ultrasound (to crack the fat cells), Radio Frequency (melt the fat), Myostimulation (exercise the muscles) and photon light treatment (tighten the skin) all in one treatment. See www.ultraslim.co.za

I have never heard of it, did you try Ultrasound Lipo anon35? Did you experience good results with it?

Yes, I lost 8cm on my waist on the first session. Although I think they measured incorrectly, I could still definitely see a difference. On my second session I lost 2 cm on my thighs (saddle bags). Next session I want to focus on my love handles / back.
Two of my friends also lost 1.5 cm to 2 cm per thigh per session. Another friend lost 2 cm on her waist per session (but she suffers with insulen problems).
And for R 240 for the first session I think it is worth a try - see the specials page.

I am one month post op, I have noticed slight changes, but NONE on my inner thighs! Very dissappointed.

Looking at that pic I have just noticed, I can also see how the one leg looks bigger than the other
The first thing my surgeon told me is that 'tickle' lipo is only feasible when the patient wants a SMALL area lipo'd.
If you are having lipo in several areas like I did (upper and lower abs, flanks, saddle bags and under chin) there is no way the surgeon can be aggressive in his treatment - unless you are under GENERAL anasthetic. It sounds like you had too many areas done for the surgery to have been as effective as it could have been under general anasthetic.
Having said that, you are being a little impatient and I urge you to wait a while (up to a year I believe) to make your final analysis. I went for my first post-op exam the other day and the surgeon told me I was still swollen everywhere - because your body has undergone major trauma. I wear my compression garment 24/7 (except for when I shower) and I massage the lipo'd areas twice a day for at least 20 mins (using cocoa butter lotion and Vaseline - but you can use your own choice).
I would be more than happy to answer any other questions you may have and to share the wonderful advice I have received from my surgeon's office - including the reasons people get lumps and bumps - and what do do about them.
Lastly, the more you put into your aftercare (exercise, eating healthy, massage, compression garment) the better result you will achieve. There is no magic potion and having spent so much money on a procedure, you owe it to yourself to following Doctor's orders!
