Thigh Lift Revision 3/2/15 - Photos - 3 days Post Op
Seems like the revision went well. I am pleased that Dr Brown moved the scar from front of thigh into the inside of thigh. He did extend the incision to just above the knee (as expected) to tighten the area. He also had to do a "L " shaped incision at the groin to give it the proper lift.( I knew it was a possibility) . I also had a lilttle lipo done on outer thighs.
Most of the pain has been at the groin area, and it looks very scary. My pubis mound looks mis shaped now, and the suture & tape has the skin looking wrinkly, so it s difficult to really know how it will look once fully healed.
These photos are 3 days post op, but tomorrow it is a full week. I will take new photos tomorrow & post.

Thigh Lift Revision Tomorrow 3/2/15 !!!
My last visit with Dr Brown went much better, We talked again about my original procedure (this was my 3rd visit asking about the revision)
we discussed his many statements about not charging for revisions,and how disappointed I was with his revision fee. We looked at my pictures & went over my results again, and Dr Brown decided that he wants me to be happy with my results & will not charge me his revision fee. I DO have to pay the surgery center & anesthesiologist ($2400) & take off more time from work 1 week/possibly longer. It really stinks to go through this again, but I am hopeful for better results.
I do not expect perfection, just a little smaller & tighter thighs.
It will be a 2 hour procedure, He is doing some lipo on outer thigh, and removing more skin & fat from inner thighs to tighten the flabby skin.
He will also be trying to move the scar inward , more towards inner part of leg & extending the scar almost to my knee to get the are that is still flabby & loose right above my knees. He might need to do a small L shaped incision in the groin area, just not sure which way the L will be facing( upwards or downwards )
I am hopeful that this surgery will have better results than my last & I will post my pics & measurements during my recovery.
Thanks for all the feedback, I really appreciate it!

Dr Brown STILL charging for my REVISION he is calling it an "Additional Procedure" :(
Saw Dr Brown again a few days ago & asked that he waive his $1063.00 fee for my revision.
When reminding Dr Brown about his promises for "no-fee revisions" , he told me he does not get involved in the pricing.
How can a Doctor NOT be involved with deciding fees for surgery? It's a small office, 4 or 5 employees I believe.... I feel like yet again, Dr Brown avoided answering questions.
He told me he can lipo outer thighs, extend inner thigh scar, lipo, and remove more skin to tighter the area.
This is what was SUPPOSE to be done during Initial Surgery :(
So, in order to get my revision, I have to pay $3,400 plus tax. Dr Brown wants $1063.00 for his
2 hours of time, and the facility & anesthesia charges are $2400.
Dr Brown & staff kept raving about how beautiful my surgery came out...but my before & after pics tell a different story :(
What happens if I pay Dr Brown for my revision, and he still doesn't do as promised ?
Dr Brown is not standing behind his work, or his promises....I am not sure I can trust him ... not a good feeling :(
Looking for advice from other patients & doctors
If I go somewhere brand new, it will cost more...I feel like that is what Dr Brown is counting on, getting more $ from me because having to pay for my revision is still less $ than starting with a new doctor...
THANK YOU In advance for any advice !!!

Provider Review
Dr Brown has always been calm, polite, soft spoken & tells me how wonderful my surgery looks. Early on, after surgery, he was great about draining fluid from my thighs with a needle (once a week for 4 weeks) . Now, 6 months later when I try to discuss what I think needs to be fixed, I feel like he doesn't really listen. I am going to go back to office tomorrow for another office visit so we can discuss & be very clear on EXACTLY what will be fixed. The 2 Drs i got a second opinion from said they do not charge for revisions like mine because they want patient to be happy. I am wondering what the other doctors online here would say...after looking at my pics...would they charge me for a revision?
