Recently a patient consulted me who was treated in Prague with a combination of laser and liposuction. Lots of dents and irregularities resulted from this treatment! Now she wonders if she should undergo a correction in my clinic, which is tedious and expensive, of course, or if she accepts to live permanently dissatisfied with those irregularities.
What was the mistake? The doctor had underestimated the aggressiveness of the combination of liposuction cannula and laser beam. The patient therefore had swellings in the thighs for weeks after liposuction. After about five weeks on the mechanically stressed areas of the thighs deep dents had formed.
What to do? Autologous fat transfer, best with stem cell-enriched autologous fat, is the only solution. Or she lives with her irregularities. For many women, such a decision is not easy. It is always best to get oneself properly informed before booking liposuction.
