Entire back of my leg has indentations all over it after lipo shifting

ORIGINAL POST

Do Not Get Revision Surgery Here Now Even More Botched

If you have liposuction irregularities that you are hoping to have fixed the lipo shifting procedure Dr. B does doesn't work, infact it has made things way worse. The emotional pain that this revision surgery has put me in is unfathomable and I wish I never went to this doctor, spent thousands on a revision/thousands on travel + hotel that caused new irregularities to my other leg that was 100% fine before surgery, pigmentation issues in my skin in both legs and worst of all an all time emotional low.

Do not get liposhifting with his cheese grater, go to a doctor that can harvest fat, purify it and reinject it into areas that need it. Do not disturb tissue that hasn't been botched to "shift" the fat around like I was advised by Dr. B. Go to an actual revision surgeon.

I reached out to Dr. B to see if they could financially compensate me for this experience so I could use that money to try to get what they botched fixed by another doctor, I was sent a email that pretty much said sorry you are unhappy with your results, we give zero refunds, please don't write us a "hurtful review".

Yet this doctor can't even fathom the hurt he hes caused in my world. I came in looking to add fat to my right leg - he said we needed to take fat from the other to have donor fat for the right leg. The fat that was taken was taken in such away that looked like a chunk was missing under by bum and on the side of my leg. He shifted the entire left leg (the leg that was completely fine prior to surgery) for what reason? I honestly don't know. I now have the chunk of fat missing from under the left buttocks/and irregularities on the inside of my leg looking like a babies leg (yes it now looks like rolls). The entire back of my leg has indentations all over it. My other leg that we went into fix does look slightly better - but now at the expense of the other looking absolutely horrific.

I was so traumatized by what had happened to my other leg I didn't want my follow up appointments, to do what? Be told over zoom to continue to get massages and that he thinks I look great and that my concerns are not valid?

I am now seeking revision surgery, councilling for this experience as I came in not happy to begin with, with one area to be catapulted into a whole new level of insecurity and emotional pain by adding all these other new deformities to my body.

The entire experience was off, and felt rushed... I should have cancelled the surgery and just enjoyed NY rather then getting botched.

My advises from other surgeons to fix the left leg he botched is to
Lipo inside of left leg, fill in hollowed/indented areas of left leg and get a mini thigh lift to smooth out the inner thigh.
Add fat to under left bum and side.
For the right leg to "finish its revision" harvest fat from back/front of leg and fill in inner thigh so it matches the left legs size.

Dr. B also said I did not have enough fat to harvest thats why he went to the left leg under the buttocks. I have had multiple consultations with other doctors and many of them have advised I do have enough fat that could have been harvested from entire back, front of thighs, inner left thigh, outside left thigh and arms.

Anyways - I don't hate this doctor, I think his intentions were there but the expertise and entire experience was awful and now I get to live with this. He could have helped me by giving my money back to go towards fixing these issues that he has now caused but lacks the integrity to do so (even if I signed a contract, the right thing to do would be to help by giving me the resources to fix what was done). I think if you are not botched and you are an easy case that wants a BBL and light liposuction hes not a bad doctor to go to but I wouldn't trust him with hi definition lipo/ lipo revision/ or girls with minimal body fat.

Hi Inventive, I can relate to what you have been going through as I have also been struggling and looking for a procedure to fix damage to my thighs. It has been 2 years since your post so not sure if you still visit RealSelf but just wanted to see if you have found a doctor/procedure that was able to provide some improvement. I am currently looking into AlloClae and maybe body lift but not sure how much improvement each would deliver. I hope we will hear from you again.
