I went to get the massage per my PS and the mousses said she wouldnt take my money because it was a waste. ...Help!!!

Thanks for your question, and I'm sorry to hear about your concerns. It's difficult to fully assess your surgical result from your photos, although I do see an area of swelling. You may be a candidate for a revision procedure to correct this, although that would best be determined with an in-person physical exam. If your operating surgeon is unwilling to perform a revision I suggest you seek out a second opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care.

Sorry to hear you're unhappy with your results.  If you have talked this over with your surgeon and don't feel like there is much more they can offer it might be helpful to seek another opinion at this point.  Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced with abdominoplasty, discuss your concerns and see what might be done to improve your outcome
