I'm freaking out my surgeon messed up my full Abdominoplasty. What I should say at my first post op? (photos)

Asked By:TAA21186 in NJ

I had the procedure July 1. My surgeon was amazing all the way up to the surgery. After the surgery I only saw him briefly but he said it went well and looked great. I haven't been able to see bc it's been wrapped & bandaged. I had a bad itch today so I removed the Velcro outer wrap for a moment & I am shocked at the excess skin. I don't understand how this is possible? Can anyone offer advice on what I should say at my first post op visit in 2 days and explain why he would do this?
