Asked By:starla33 in Vancouver, Washington

I had hand surgery where a doctor created a flap from my mid wrist to my lower wrist due to fat atrophy caused by too many cortisone shots. I was told it would look a little indented, but it seems the doctor took too much fat and my hand looks completely mis-shapen. I can not go back to this doctor any longer because I honestly do not trust him. Any advice on what can be done here would be appreciated. This is 6 months after surgery at this point.
