HELP!
Is this normal? Is this a perfect liposuction job? Do I look good?
Things I never asked for and still deal with
- searing pain (worst burning i have ever experienced! never knew this pain existed)
- tearing/pulling of the skin
- clothes hurts when it touches and rubs on my skin
- swelling
- tingling
- pins and needles
- stabbing
- stiffness/tense
- unnecessary scarring (painful!)
- loose skin due to excessive amount of fat suctioned
- lumpiness
- dents
- asymmetry (left side suctioned to the muscle/bone)
- dry skin
- cannula lines
- permanent skin discoloration
- numbness/loss feeling of tissue in some areas
- itching/painful to scratch/skin feels raw
- cannot stand a simple touch/or a meaningful hug :'(
- difficult to sleep on most damaged areas (sleep deprived)
- nauseous
- and so much more
*all irreversible damage*
mental
- traumatized
- loss of confidence
- low self-esteem (b4 surgery i wanted to change minor things but never suffered with low self-esteem - specially after my 40 lb weight loss, i thought my surgeon would only improve things, not make them 100x worse)
- distressed
- trouble concentrating
- trust issues (due to my surgeons betrayal)
- and sooooooo much more, the list really goes on and never really ends
i am done typing, i can't be here for too long. only those who have suffered will understand, and thank you for the ones that acknowledge my pain, and suffering. i strongly believe i was at the hands of a surgeon who suffered a mental illness/psychological problems. he is a true narcissist. has never admitted he did anything wrong. i should have noted his behavior before going in the or and giving him the chance to b*****r me. but then again news station says mostly all plastic surgeons are sociopaths, so i doubt i would have been safe with anyone. the best thing to do is to stay away from liposuction (changing the biology of your healthy fat cells) the major risk and a huuuuge one is that all of this is irreversible damage, and you can suffer immeasurable pain like i am. don't do it. research, research, and do more research on scientific studies, and read blogs from those who have been harmed, they tell the truth, not your surgeon.
Provider Review
Raul Gongora also known as Dr. Raul Arturo Gongora Alejandre should not be performing any type of surgery he may be a licensed cosmetic surgeon with many years of experience but he does not know the anatomy of a person! He has oversuctioned my fat causing me to have a skin to muscle deformity, not to mention the mess he made out of my body and without consent! His brother Eduardo Gongora is a board certified plastic surgeon who only trained him to be his assistant nothing more, Raul got greedy and thought he could earn all the money from surgeries by opening up his own clinic. Raul Gongora has damaged my body internally, he has ruined my life. He wont release my contract and failed to do a psychological test on me when I paid for it and they wont return my money. Save yourself from doing this harmful procedure with any surgeon, too many women on here have been botched by lipo even with BOARD CERTIFIED SURGEONS.
