Negligent doctor and not half as good as traditional lipo

Do not use belle medical and dr wallin for lipo. Do not use any company that says "less invasive" "shorter downtime" or "tightens skin". I wish I would have gone the traditional lipo route with a plastic surgeon, especially after seeing results of my friends who did just that with amazing results.
It's been 3 months and 4 days since my procedure and I've never once been allowed to see the doctor. I was surprised he wasn't at my first follow up, asked for him to be at my second and he wasn't. They told me that he'll be at my third followup but then dr decided, without telling me, that he was first going to hear about my complaints through his office staff. I made yet another followup to see the doctor and after showing up was told that he refuses to see me, period. So not once have I been able to talk to the doctor about my concerns or questions. Not even a nurse.
I've already mentioned that I did not get an inner thigh gap. my inner thighs look the same.
I'm a perfectionist, it's true. But I did not expect perfection; I did expect that they'd give me what was promised.
I had a BA with a plastic surgeon and they're not perfect but I am thrilled with my results nonetheless.
Dr Wallin and dr Robin Berger his partner should be ashamed of how they've handled my case.

Not super happy with lipo 29 days post and BA pics
beingrealJanuary 2, 2017
I had three things I wanted to get from lipo.
1) a trimmer waistline
2) my crepey wrinkly stomach skin tightened so I can be comfortable in a bikini
3) inner thigh gap
I was promised and assured that I could definitely get all three.
1) I did get a slimmer waistline. But the right side is awesome and the left side isn't as awesome which makes me feel crooked. Also, I still have fat on my back which a plastic surgeon could have easily gotten. And I have a weird round belly pooch that you can't see in the pictures but it's fat that wouldn't be there with traditional lipo. There's also a fat pooch just below my right ribs and it makes me look lumpy. This is not what I wanted in order to feel comfortable in a bikini.
2) my tummy skin is not tighter at all. I'm feeling like they flat out lied to me about that.
3) while the dr did get the fat from the back and sides of my thigh, he did not get the front inner thigh and so I don't have a thigh gap at all.
Yes, I'm slim and trim. But I didn't pay $7,000 to not get what I was promised. Im wishing I would have paid that $7k to the plastic surgeon for the mini tummy tuck and traditional lipo. I have regrets.

Are you able to talk to your surgeon about going over your thighs again? I think you look awesome but I understand your frustration. My previous surgeon who did my implants promised me teardrop, natural shaped breasts but they totally didn't turn out like that. Also, maybe your stomach still needs time to "snap back". I was told and read from other posts that the final result is not until the 6 month mark with lipo.

The doctor has refused to see me. It's been over 3 months and I've not once been able to meet with him.

Oh wow I'm sorry to hear that. Did some of the issues improve a little since?

12 days after lipo, I got breast augmentation 345 hp under muscle
beingrealDecember 16, 2016
Since I could not do breast fat transfer during lipo (not enough fat), I went to a board certified plastic surgeon in town (dr Peterson) for a breast augmentation. 345 cc's high profile under muscle, incision underneath breast. I am 5'3.5", 120 lbs, my cheats measured 12.5 cm.
I will post a new review of dr Peterson and staff and my new breasts. But also post some pics here when I get them ready.

I had implants for 9 years and wished that I had elected for fat transfer instead. I've since had the implants removed followed by fat transfer and am far happier with a more natural me. Everyone has their own journey and expectations, just thought I'd share that I had the reverse experience. Either way, I think you already look great. Good luck with your next procedure!

I'm 5'6" and 140 lbs. I'm not very heavy. But Dr. Kovanda was able to get enough fat to over fill me to a 30D (granted that includes some swelling) with everything end result of a 30C expected. He's excellent, board certified and trained in France with one of the leading breast fat transfer plastic surgeons in the world.
