This woman presented to my office extremely unhappy with her postoperative results after her OB-GYN performed liposuction on her abdomen.
She developed severe contour irregularities (LUMPS AND BUMPS) due to the inappropriate use of excessively large liposuction cannulas (LARGE INSTRUMENTS). Due to several prior pregnancies, and excessively lax skin, she was a poor candidate for the procedure, and should have never received liposuction in the first place. This is a classic case of the wrong procedure, performed on the wrong patient, by the wrong doctor.
When I asked her why she would allow an OB-GYN to perform liposuction on her abdomen, she stated that he was “much cheaper” than the plastic surgeon that she consulted with. This decision was “penny wise, dollar fool” as the cost to correct this surgical outcome is going to outweigh her initial savings.
