Asked By:Sharix3 in Santo Domingo, Distrito Nacional, Dominican Republic

On July 29th 2020 I got a tummy tuck and lipo 360 in Dominican republic. I got drained with a syringe by my doctor once, after he told me everything was good and that I was fine to travel which was about 42 days after my procedure. I headed back to the United States, which is where I reside then I noticed a bulge on my abdomen and painful so I travel back to the Dominican republic, but he said there was no fluid there, two years and six months later I still feel pain on my upper abdomen area
