Tummy Tuck Nightmare-worse Than Before!

My tummy tuck was a nightmare! I had a section of skin that died and had to be removed. The doctors office forgot to order my support garment, my new belly button isn't centered, I have these weird dog ear things on both sides and my torso is lopsided. I asked my doctor about fixing it and he kept saying not yet. I eventually stopped asking.

3 years later and I'm miserable still, but no $ to fix the problem. What a waste of time, money, and health risk.

Great review?

It's a huge a disappointment when the results aren't what you'd wanted! I hope you're able to get revisions from a good surgeon at some point. You deserve that.

Have you had any luck in getting a revision for your unsatisfactory TT? I have a list of complaints regarding my TT and hope my PS will be able to do a revision at some point. I am like you, though, with no money left at this point. I hate to have to wait several years before correcting the problems as it took time to save up for the original TT. Good luck to you.
