It’s already been almost 7 years since I had partial thigh liposuction, and since the surgery I still go around covering my legs.
First of all, the asymmetry between both legs goes without saying, and I don’t know if they touched the tissue in one leg incorrectly, but a bulging lump-like thing formed on the back of my thigh, as if the muscle and inflammation had adhered together. At a glance it looks like some speed skater’s thigh muscle, but the problem is that it’s only on one side, so there’s no answer ㅎ
I had heard of becoming bumpy and uneven, but I had never heard of or expected a side effect like mine, so it was hard to ask anywhere. And since the cause is honestly just my own guess, even when I talked to the clinic that did the surgery, they just brushed it off saying it was muscle, but they seemed like they didn’t know either? like they were flustered ㅋ They at least gave me radiofrequency aftercare and lipolysis injections, but it actually felt like it only irritated the area more and damaged the tissue. Since they didn’t seem to know either, they washed their hands of it, saying it would get better with time, to stretch, to improve circulation with foot baths, but it didn’t help even 1% at all, and even now, almost 10 years later, it hasn’t improved at all..
They’re still operating perfectly fine in the same place, and seeing that the reviews here are fairly good and their fame still hasn’t worn off really makes me feel bitter. When I first discovered the side effect, I said that a lump that hadn’t existed had appeared from a medical accident and asked them to let me check the CCTV, but they said it was only installed at the door and wouldn’t show me. But even these days they advertise with operating-room CCTV lololol really.. Even aside from that lump, other areas are bumpy too, so it makes me miserable wondering what I paid money for. Why does the victim have to hide ㅎ
It was my first cosmetic surgery when I was young, done just trusting their fame. At first the emotional shock was severe, and because I received no compensation at all, the only thing I could do was resent the clinic and the director (who knows whether they even personally performed the surgery ㅋ). But now I’m in a state where I’ve realized that doing that won’t solve anything, so I’m posting here because I want to try to resolve it somehow.
I wonder if there’s anyone else who had a side effect like mine, but has anyone developed adhesion from the fascia to dermal tissue inside the fat after liposuction, causing a side effect where it droops like a lump? Or even if it isn’t necessarily a liposuction side effect, if anyone knows of a treatment method or a relevant clinic for a similar case like this, please share information..!
