"Revision" reduced price for mini tummy tuck same as price for full tummy tuck No discount

I can't believe that there is no discount for a revision at Spectrum Aesthetics. I was told it would cost $3400 to fix the uneven liposuction caused during my bbl ... Method of fixing it... A mini tummy tuck!! I was told I was getting a reduced price :(

VERY Unhappy-Almost 6 months after BBL with Dr. Ortega

I still have a nice booty but the indention in my stomach from to much liposuction in one spot is worse than ever! It took over a week to get a phone call from Dr. Ortega regarding a revision of my stomach from this. He advised me that it would take a mini tummy tuck to fix it. He told me that I would get a reduced price because it was a revision from my bbl. Well, when I finally got Liz to quote me a price it was $3400.00! To revise something that occured during my bbl! I looked on the spectrum website and it was $3400 for a full tummy tuck! Where is the discount for the revision? I am almost positive that I read somewhere in all the paperwork I had to sign that a revision would be the cost of the anesthesia and some other small fee... I tend to agree with other posts on RS that these girls work on commission and won't lower the prices if it's thier mistake or not! I am going to continue exercising and hope I can get this to even out some on my own. I am extremely dissapointed in the post surgery care and consideration that is provided by Spectrum Aesthetics as a whole.
Also, I had lymphatic massages twice a week for 3 months and wore the board for three months too. It didn't make a difference.

A lot of the swelling went down today, I asked Dr. Ortega for a small waist and a small bubble butt and it looks like I'm going to have what I asked for with a flat stomach which I thought was going to be impossible because I had two children by c-section! After all the swelling went down unfortunately I noticed that there is a very large indention on my stomach where it was liposuctioned unevenly. It took Dr. Ortega a week to get back with me. His assistant Liz quoted me full prices for the revision :('. Not impressed at all with patient follow up care.. He's great if there are no problems but thumbs down if there's a problem
