Extended Tummy Tuck, Lipo and Upper Eye Lift - Finally Doing a Review...- Thailand, TH

As you can see there is a lot of difference with the contouring on my side. Overall has given me much better shape very happy with that. My thighs are still very swollen at the moment but I am already happy with results so far. I understand that as the swelling goes down I will get lots more lose skin this time more around my knees, but that's why I'm booked in next year for the thigh lift.

I'm not happy about the dog ear and the fact he didn't do what he specifically said he would do with my side scar pull.

I emailed him some general questions and said I had made an appointment to see him March 20th regarding these issues. He got back to me 8pm the same day. He answered my questions which were things like when can I do some gentle exercise etc. And said he was looking forward to seeing me in march. He didn't ask me anything about the issues but didn't brush me off either. So I'm still happy with him so far.

So I'm 1 week down. Bruising is already starting to fade. The throb is gone completely. I'm now getting stinging pain occasionally which although is excruciating only lasts a few seconds before going just as fast as it started. Had a visit to see my ps nurse on Thursday. I have to wait 6 weeks before I can see the actual Dr. The nurse has said everything looks like it's healing well. No stitches needed removing as they are dissolve on my mons and the liposuction holes have internal stitches.

I know it's very early days especially when it comes to lipo. But I'm thinking that he hasn't done as he said. On my first visit he said he could lipo above and below the scar on my left side and that would get rid of the bulge. The second visit he said to get the best results he would open the scar back up from the end to almost right back to the front almost tying in with the mons lift. Then pretty much simply closing it back up making sure that it wasn't pulled too tight this time. He did say that he would still do a bit of lipo just to help my body shape on that side so it was more symmetrical. This would also take care of the dog ear. On the sx day when he was marking me up he reverted back to his original plan. I questioned him about it and reminded him that he was also going to remove the dog ear. He said he could remove the bulge by liposuctioning it and also the dog ear area. So my side scar was not re-opened. There is still loads of swelling so it's hard to see how good this has worked. Obviously the bulge is still there but is it just swelling bulge???? I think???? I can 100% still see where the scar dents in. I have to admit that it does look much better BUT it is still there. AND the dog ear is still there! I thought that fixing dog ears was an easy fix but it did need to be cut off??? I can't help but wonder if the results would have been better if he had stuck to the plan. I have emailed him some questions but it was late Friday so I probably won't hear back until Monday. I'm trying not to worry yet but I can't help it. Let's see how he addresses the situation first. If he agrees it's still not fixed but is willing to try again, I will not be happy but OK with it. On the other hand if my concerns are waved away I'm thinking I'm going to have a break down. This cost was another $6000. And i want SO MUCH to have this thigh lift. But I'm scared to waste more money. I was confident in my tt sx simply because I had previous experience but this is new ground. I just can't see how even when the swelling goes down that these issues that I paid a lot of money for will be fixed.
I will try and get a better pic of the bulge. I know it doesn't seem like such a huge issue to some but it definitely looks different from my left to right sides and of course there is the money I paid to have it fixed!

4 days post op and yes it hurts as bad as it looks
