sealine43
I’m 60, 5’1, 110lps. Had TT 12-27-23.I pd for full TT.Find out mths later it was only lower abdomen.Dr said that I didn’t have enough skin.High scar, hip to hip. Incision & bellybutton not healed right.Dr did lipo on me 4-16-19.Never told me about getting dogears. Have two large dogears he said that he did all he could for me & will not do anything else. He did lower abdomen,lipo & supposedly did lower muscles. Didn’t do flanks or back. I pd him for a full TT 9 mths in advance. I had a suture in my leg for two mths, my sister had to remove it. I kept telling him that my bellybutton was really hurting. He said it was fine.I requested all my records from him. As I was reading them I seen that he was treating my bellybutton all along when I went to his office.Then I noticed he had taken 12 sets of pictures through the mths. I only received three sets of pictures. I have a large gap in dates.I called him for missing infor haven’t heard back from them. He is hiding notes and pics from me.He wanted to do lipo again in 2020.I paid him to do the lipo.I kept thinking about it & moving the surgery date.I told him I wasn't going to do lipo again.He then told me that I would be much happier getting a full TT versus more lipo.The Iast time I was in his office is when I found out he only did the lower abdomen.I just need someone to please help me!Can I do a revision TT on upper abdomen,muscles,flanks & back??Can anyone please advise me on what to do? SO DEPRESSED
