So it's been 1 year and 5 months since I had the surgery my stomach is still flat only on the bottom because under my Breast bone it still sticks out like nothing was done. My scar is thick and crooked. I look great in my clothes. But I can't wear belly shirts or bikinis. And I still have TONS of stretch marks. I'm contemplating getting a revision surgery. DR Alkon is the perfect example of " you get why you pay for!" I will be posting pics

Dr Alkon was very informative and caring in the beginning but his work is bad. He became less attentive and always brushed off my concerns post surgery

Any update? What did he do to your belly button? I really hope your doctor has fixed your issues, and takes the time to make sure you look better than what the pictures you posted look. Praying that you got satisfaction.
I haven't been to him but he was a doctor I had on a list of possible surgeons to consider. This is the 2nd bad review I have seen pictures on this site of unhappy patients. Thank you for posting this review ! I took him off my list!
Yeah I see he only became concerned after you posted the results of his botched and careless work. Good for you to be so brave and honest. I hope you found a board certified and skillful surgeon to revise and fix this. Pictures speak for themselves.
O my God, I was scheduled with him for a consultation for a tummy tuck, I hope u were able to have a revision surgery done

If you have help you will be fine. I found the first 3 days were the worst couldn't sit or stand without help. Today is day 8 for me and it just hurts to walk around, back is very sore from being hunched back. I would do it again in a heart beat. Congrats on your new belly.
Still no before pics? Well tomorrow is your big day!!! You're gonna do great!!! Im excited for you
I tried to post them. Guess it didn't work. I will try again when I have after pic too
