Liposuction Revision (Dimples) + BBL - West Hollywood, CA

It's been 8 months after my surgery. I am NOT happy :( I wrote my 1st review too early to know the results. My best friend has also had 2 liposuction and she warned me that right after the surgery my belly would look awesome, but to not expect that it would stay like that. She said it would be swollen, so we can't really tell if there's any irregularities. She was right. I decided to go with this doctor because I wanted to fix 2 dimples from previous liposuction. He transferred fat to one of the dimples, but not the the 2nd one. I'm not sure why. I have a new dimple now. I must say that I happier with how my belly looks now than before. But it's not perfect. I can leave with that. What I CAN'T live with is the deformities I now have on both my legs. I wrote on my 1st review that the doctor transferred fat to cellulites I had on my legs. Well, where the fat was transferred to, there is now big, huge dimples that make my legs look deformed. I will post pictures to show I'm not exaggerating. I went back to the same doctor to try to get this fixed. I live in FL and he is in CA. So besides all the expensive I had with the travel, he charged me $1,500 to transfer more fat to those areas to try to fill the "wholes". I never understood why I had to pay to fix something it wasn't my fault. And I did not work! I'm now desperate trying to find a doctor that can help me fix my deformed legs. I used to not wear bikinis because of my belly, and now I can't wear bikinis or shorts because everybody looks at my legs. I'm very depressed over this. :(
The BBL is all gone. But I was kind of expecting that. So it wasn't a surprise. I knew there was a possibility my body would absorb all the fat and it did.

I found this picture of 1 day after surgery at the doctors office, and wanted to share this different angle.

Hi ladies, I am very excited to share with you my experience with Dr. Steve Svehlak. I'm going to give you a little back ground on my case. 10 years ago I did a liposuction that didn't give me the results I wanted. Not only that, I was left with dimples. I was only 20 years old. There were 2 dimples that made my stomach look deformed. I would never let any one, not even my husband, see my stomach because I was always afraid someone would notice those imperfections. Any one that knows about plastic surgery would know I had a bad lipo. With the years my stomach accumulated more fat. I'm 5'0, 98 pounds so technically I was not out of shape, however that little pooch on my belly and love handles would never, ever go away. If I diet I lose butt, legs, boobs, but the belly fat would never go away. Everybody would tell me: "Liposuction? Are you crazy? Where? You are so thin!" But that was because nobody could see my belly. I researched on the internet for a long, long, loooong time trying to find a doctor that does liposuction review that could fix my dimples. That was my main goal: get rid of those dimples. Let me tell you that it is VERY hard to find doctors that especialize in doing that. I'm from Florida. I found 1 doctor in Florida that does that. But he only had 1 picture on his website of a liposuction revision. I went to many doctors that did not want to operate me because they knew they couldn't fix my dimples. 2 of them recommended me doing a tummy tuck. I also had a little bit of saggy skin from pregnancy. But there was NO WAY I was going to do a tummy tuck and have a huge scar on my belly at 30 years old. I am not sure if I want more kids. I knew that there was a doctor out there that could "fix" me. I think most doctors always go for the tummy tuck because it's easier to achieve results. But results at the expensive of a huge scar and a new belly button, that everybody can see it's not natural. I knew I just needed to find a real pro. In between trying to find a doctor, I researched less invasive techniques. I did Vanquish (similar to Cool Sculpting). What a waist of $3,000! I didn't lose 1 centimeter with Vanquish. After a lot of research I found Dr. Svehlak. I read how he fixed Tara Reid botched liposuction. I thought to myself: if he could fix hers (she had a dozen of dimples), than he can fix mine. I flew from FL to CA to see him. On my consultation he didn't give me high hopes, but he said he would fix it as much as possible. He said he would transfer fat to my dimples to fix them. He then suggested me doing a Brazilian Butt Lift. I then decided to schedule my surgery. He was booked a month in advance! The day of my surgery I was very nervous, but I was thinking positive, that my belly couldn't get any worse, so anything would be a plus lol
After surgery: My husband went to CA with me for the surgery. I read a lot of reviews from women that did BBL complaining about terrible pain from BBL. I do not have high tolerance with pain, but I had no pain whatsoever from the BBL. The liposuction did hurt. But tolerable pain. On the 3rd day I stopped taking pain medication. On the 2nd day I went to see the doctor. When I took off my garment... WOOOOWW!!! I just could't believe it!! I wanted to cry of happiness! My stomach was flat and dimples were gone! I could never image in a million years that the result would be this great! My butt looked awesome too. Not only that, I had 2 cellulite dimples on my butt that were with me since I can remember. Since the doctor was transferring fat to fix the dimple on my stomach, I asked him to fix those 2 cellulite. And he did! Both cellulite were GONE! I also did restylane under my eyes during surgery (I am afraid of needles, so what a perfect time to do a face filling). Summarizing, I feel like a new woman! Perfect belly, big butt, no cellulite, face looking fresher. And I own all of that to Dr. Svehlak. For 10 years I lived without going to the beach, pools, showing my body.. and now I can't wait to start doing all of that. I am so happy and I hope my review can help someone out there that, like me, have dimples from a bad liposuction and can't find a doctor to fix it. I did the research and test (by doing the surgery) for you! Look at my pictures if you don't believe me. As I write this it's day 10 after surgery. I'm still sore and bruised. I will post pictures after I'm completely good.
Tips: if there is any tip I can give you ladies is that, if you want to do a BBL, be prepared. You will be on your belly for a month. Today is day 10 and I'm sick and tired of not being able to sit down. If you can't take that much time off from work, only do it if you don't need to sit down at work. Also, if are doing a BBL I recommend you buying elbow pads. On the 3rd day my elbows were already sore and skin was about to get hurt. My husband went and bought me elbow pads, and what a relief! MY best friend put silicone implants on her butt, and she told me she wishes she had thought of elbow pads. You rely on you elbows all day, it sucks. To flight back to FL, I purchased one extra seat so I could lay down on my husband and not seat during the 5 hour flight.
