Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Unfortunately, my tummy tuck with Dr. Gregory Evans did not turn out well at all. I chose to have a tummy tuck after two pregnancies left me with excessive loose skin and stretched abdominal muscles. However I made the naïve mistake of believing that a plastic surgeon could skillfully perform any plastic surgery procedure. The truth is that plastic surgeons develop a specialty over time just as any doctor. I felt devastated and heartbroken when I saw the final results of my tummy tuck. After my tummy tuck with Dr. Evans, I had consultations with three (3) highly-esteemed plastic surgeons located in Beverly Hills, Newport Beach and San Diego. Each surgeon stated that the results I received were less than optimal. One surgeon characterized the appearance of my tummy this way: "You look like someone who once had a tummy tuck, got pregnant and had a baby." Another surgeon stated flatly that my results were "unacceptable." I broke down crying when I heard this assessment. To his credit, Dr. Evans offered to re-do the entire surgery at no cost to me, but I had lost so much faith in him after the first botched surgery. Ultimately, I decided to go with a different plastic surgeon who successfully tightened my abdominal muscles and removed my loose skin. The happy ending to this story is that I finally have the flat midsection that I wanted to begin with. The important lesson for me was always do your research--read reviews and understand what the surgeon's specialty is (ask him/her how many tummy tucks they performed in the past 12 months), because it's your body and you need to ensure that you choose the right surgeon to help you achieve your goals.
