This is a photo showing how the hematoma caused her left breast to swell a cup size larger than the right. Ouch!
The patient writes:
This entire situation is a painful nightmare, especially my left breast which is always tender and sore to the touch. Although the photos are from early June, my breasts still look the same, the left one is much larger than the right. Here's an analogy for the pain: Imagine a large size person squeezing into a small size t-shirt. That would be uncomfortable, right? Now image its involving skin and nerves. It HURTS.
What was my doctor's response to all this? He told me,'No, I am not treating you for your pain or swelling. I will only prescribe you physical therapy. You need it.' I tried to explain to him that physical activity made the pain worse, but he brushed me off.

Liposuction gone wrongtag:www.surgerysagas.com,2007://1.72007-07-31T03:03:47Z2007-07-31T03:55:07Z This patient is a victim of botched underarm liposuction.

This patient is a victim of botched underarm liposuction. She had a breast reduction, plus liposuction of the area under the armpits (this is done to keep fat from relocating there). The liposuction portion on the left side was badly botched. This photo was taken five days after surgery.
She writes:
The hematoma was excrutiatingly painful. My doctor told me it would go away on its own, but it did not. Three weeks later I was hospitalized for one week when it became infected. I was asked by the hospital doctors who treated me, 'Who did this to you?'
I still have the hematoma . It is fading. The swelling and pain is finally starting to decrease. The whole experience was horrifying, because my doctor kept denying that anything was wrong. If I hadn't gone to the hospital on my own, I probably would have died.
The surgery was performed in Los Angeles by a doctor named Chia Kao. He was a website at http://www.ckplasticsurgery.com/. His office assistants are the rudest I've ever encountered in any doctor's office and if you tell him about it, he will deny it.
I went to a records search website and checked to see if Dr Kao had been sued. It turns out that he has been sued by a patient when he worked at UCLA and also by Ford Credit Company (I think it has something to do with a car).
That is the worst hematoma caused by liposuction I've seen on the Internet. ]]>

These photos were recently sent in by a woman who had breast augmentation plus a breast lift at a well known east coat University hospital. Her surgery was not a success in her opinion or mine, because her surgeon merely gave her larger sagging breasts. It is a pity that this patient cannot receive a refund.

My name is Rhonda and I am a victim of botched plastic surgery. In 2004 I decided I wanted implants, I had saved my money and did my research. I decided to go with a surgeon that was board certified and cheif of plastic surgery for a hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. I told him I wanted to go as big as I could without causing any trouble, and I had heard of Symmastia (Uniboob) and even mentioned that too him because I am thin and told him I would rather him make my incisions beneath the breast in order to get the implants in the right position. This Doctor was so cocky and assured me to leave the doctoring to him and talked me into going through my armpits. Bottom line is I got symmastia he got my money, so I'm just dealing with it until I get enough money again to get them replaced, and repair the muscles he has cut.

Sorry to say I fell prey to a widely advertised ob/gyn surgeon, who talked me into liposuction as a "reward" for my 50th birthday. She argued that I should "treat" myself to a flat tummy.
Looking back on it I can see that I was in the throws of emotional pre-menopausal depression and very vulnerable.
No question about it. I now have a flat tummy. It also looks deformed, lumpy and totally unnatural. There was nothing artful or subtle about what was done to me.
It is three years later and, although the overall appearance has improved from grossly disfigured to just lumpy - there are still "dents" and uneven patches. I suspect that at three years I have seen all the "improvement" I am going to see.
I am in a profession that puts me in competition with every variety of Barbie doll and overly made up "spokesmodels." Even so, I am so thankful that I didn't allow this meatball surgeon to touch my face.
I may be 53 years old - but at least I look like a human being.
By the way, it's worth remembering that liposuction, especially liposuction in the tummy area - can lead to life threatening side affects. I would never, ever, under any circumstances do it again.
In fact, I'm ashamed of it.
Please don't use my real name.
Recovering from botched plastic surgeries and damaged self-esteemtag:www.surgerysagas.com,2006://1.22006-11-04T07:14:42Z2006-11-08T03:41:08Z Jane is recovering from botched plastic surgery.

Jane is recovering from botched plastic surgery. She writes:
My botched surgeries include a bad boob job and very bad lip injections.
I had a lift and augmentation done, and now I have rock hard weird boobies that sit way too high. They look like softballs with skin. My nipples are so huge that I can’t even cover them with 4 fingers. I also had lip injections. My lips are so puffy that my mouth looks like a giant anus.
You can see from the photo above, her lips genuinely have been disfigured and her breasts do look like softballs. What sort of 'plastic surgeon' would do this to a person? I want to thank Jane for courageously coming forward and sharing her story.
