RUN AWAY! In July it will be 2 years since my liposuction of my inner thighs with Dr. Heil. I have MS and have always had issues with fatty inner thighs and was assured my MS would not be an issue. Wanting to feel better about myself, I scheduled liposuction of my flanks and inner thighs. 2 days after the procedure I developed a black blister that turned out to be necrotizing fasciitis. I sent a picture and followed up with the PA who told me it’s ok just don’t wear the compression garment. He also said if I was really worried I could go to the ED and have it checked for a blood clot. No clot but things got worse. By day 5 I was in the hospital for 8 days where the doctors worked on me as by now I was septic. They told my husband they couldnt guarantee my leg could be saved. By the grace of God and good doctors I made it and kept my leg. Never once did Dr. Heil reach out to me! I now live with a scar the size of a softball that needs constant moisturizing and hurts every day. The plastic surgeon that took care of me in the hospital felt certain that this bacteria was introduced into me by Dr. Heil. My life has forever changed! Please rethink giving permission to this doctor for any procedure as there is NO recourse for his mistakes.
