I went to a board certified PS. I did my homework, im 55, i weigh 140 lbs, i'm 5'7", no scars, my first surgery. The most i've ever been overweight is roughly 40 lbs. At the consultation and postop the doctor was very clear that i would have a transverse scar and bellybutton scar. I awoke with a T shaped scar and was devastated. I cried in recovery and told him he had no right to do this. I'm one month post op and not sure the best way to handle this, he hasnt ever mentioned it.
