What went wrong?
Chin SurgeryI had a chin augmentation with lipo in March of 2024. My main concern was my double chin. I expressed to my surgeon I am not happy with the look and I still have a double chin / maybe the implant is making it look that way. I also feel the implant just looks wrong from certain angles. Am I crazy or is this how I should look? My surgeon was argumentative and wont admit I have a reason to be unhappy
Thigh Liposuction
LiposuctionHi, I had liposuction on my outer thighs exactly 6 weeks ago today. 1200 cc was removed all together. I had a lot of swelling which went down after 3 weeks but I have this small spots on each side which swell after walking and they haven’t improved much these last 2 weeks. They feel soft but on the left theres hardened parts. Is this still swelling? i do massages, can it be fat? Thanks!
