Still have the issue with the right side of my scar and the dog ear :-/ Going to call and talk to a difderent lady in my drs office and see if we can lower the price to fix it some more :-/ its weird im waayy more self conscious about my scar then I thought I would be. Just wish I could get the one side fixed and hopfully it would lower it some... on the upside I look great in form fitting cloths now! Confidence booster for sure! Lol

Ok so im now at 7 months post op and im having mixed feelings. In cloths for the most part I love the way I look but my incision is higher on the right side and I have a slight dog ear :-( I went and saw my surgeon a couple of weeks ago and at first he said it was just swelling but I told him how it really bothered me because in jeans and a tight shirt u could kind of see it. So he said he could just fix it in office that way I wouldnt have to be put under since it was just the skin that was buldging. So one of his office ladies sent me an email about a week after that saying he waved his fees but I would have to pay $850? Wth! I no to some it doesnt seem like alot but for me right now going through a divorce I dont have any extea money. Im sorry but it really just doesnt make sence to me that I should have to pay more money because of a mistake that wasnt my fault. I new going into this that was a possibility but I also felt I had a much lesser risk of this since I picked and payed extra for a better known surgeon. I could have gotten a tummy tuck and a breast aaugmentation here were I live and not had to drive 2+ hours. Just really frustrated and im not sure what to do about it :-/ ill post pics. Its kinda hard to see the dog ear it looks like a buldge.

That has to be a mistake. If his fees were waves how on earth does the cost of sutures & a numbing shot (the correct name is totally out of my head right now, lol!) come out to be $850. Email the person back & asks her to break that down for you. I have a tiny tiny dog ear, more like a mouse ear & it would cost $100 to remove.....the cost of the supplies. I feel you, get more clarification before u waste too much energy on it.

Its because even though hes doing it in office he still wants to use his small steril OR room... he made it seem like it was pretty simple but its because of the room the cost went up. Just sucks cause I spent all this money and I still have to adjust my pants because I have that stupid bulge that sticks out! Im going to email her back I just dont really no what to say :-/

I would say that he is waving his fee & it's "his" OR Room & that fee is outrageous & he can just do it in a regular room. Give me a break, my hospital and anesthesia for 2.5 hours was $1875, not to mention that included recovery time & care. That's damn near half the cost & ur not being put to sleep or using a seperate facility. U know what, I call [RS bleep]. That's just a way to say I'm waiving my fee but really.....I'm not. I'd be upset too. I've heard from MANY women that it's just a SIMPLE procedure done in office. No fancy shmancy crap.

First off you look great. You should be very proud of your results. I have the same issue on my left side. I am not as far along, just at 10 weeks. I pointed this issue out to my dr, and she said if I massage, it should go away. Prob doesn't help in your case, but may. If I were you, I would call your doc and as what the $850 is for, if he truly waived the fees. Bug them if you have too. In my opinion, as long as its not a drastic revision, it should be free, try putting some pressure on them. Good luck. You look great!!

Thank you! I am happy with all of my results except for that 1 issue. I am going to either call or email them back but I just have to figure ouy what to say because I heard if u make some surgeon's mad they will just start ignoring u and I dont want that to happen

Hi Ashley, I had a consultation with Dr. Motykie a few months back. I was set on getting a mini tummy tuck with him till I saw your scar. His online photos don't look anything like that. I assumed the scar will be very low, kind of like a c-section scar. My question would you recommend his work after having it done there????? please let me know, I have mixed feelings!!!

I really liked him as a dr and without looking at my scar I love my stomach... but yea my scar is abit on the higher side which he did tell me mine would be higher kind of. Im really short wasted so my scar does go hip to hip but my right side is higher and I do have alittle dog ear. I asked him about it and he said he could just fix it in office so I wouldnt have to he out under but then I found out it was going to be $850 which right now I cant afford :-/ kinda discouraged. Im going to call and speak to his other office lady and see what she tells me but I would hate to say dont go to him because of my scar. I mean everyones body is different. Have u heard of dr moleeken (sp) he does a hybrid tummy tuck but I wasnt a good candidate for that, but he is suppose to be excellent with tummy tucks. I chose not to go with him cause he requires his parients to go to an aftercare facility and it was out of my budget... but u should check him out to. Im going to post some newer pics to.

Thank you for replying back. You look amazing,
I saw the review for doctor Simona Pautler in PA. and I will be doing a consultation in November. I'm willing to fly from CA to PA to get similiar results to this one girl. REVIEWER : BocaBound
After this consulation I will decide on which doctor. I will look into Dr Moleeken too.
