OP, I would like to know this too. Please let us know. In the same boat after a terrible job done at Georgetown with a doc who is now a celebrity surgeon in NY, then 2 successful revisions with another prominent surgeon at G'town who sounds suspiciously like yours.
^^ Sorry, two Unsuccessful revisions.

Happened to me too. Georgetown?
Oh my God, me three. Also at Georgetown. Also looking for revision specialist. Was up all night in tears last night on RealSelf.

I did lipo three times- the first two was from a doc in new orleans that I picked since he was featured in a magazine - DUMB- the second was trying to fix things. The final one was much better but not perfect in any way- but it did eliminate the saddle bags- I was a size 2 and up at the waist and then these huge huge bulges out- everything else skinny. I hope you find someone who can help.

Good luck OP. I don't have any expertise, but I would go to the most qualified person wherever that is. I would try to get at least 3 different opinions.

Hey OP. I just wanted to let you know that I am sorry things didn't work out the way you expected. I can imagine it being hard to deal with this reality. Best of luck in fixing everything!

I actually have read that is a pretty common side effect. Have you ever seen pics of the celebrities a**Ses from behind in bikinis in those mags...frickin cottage cheese central?!
I am not prone to cellulite so there is no way I would subject myself to lipo. Bootcamp, marathon running, serious weight-lifting, yes! Have you tried any of this on your own to see if it will firm up?

I just want to point out that if you get on a plane for this, do NOT plan to fly home soon afterwards. Plan to stay in LA for two weeks to a month. Blood clots and circulation are a big deal, and it's a five hour flight.
