Permanently scarred, disfigured & traumatized after arm & thigh lift

Horrific Experience…

I had an arm lift and thigh lift in Oct of 2020. I have been left deformed and scarred beyond believe. Two days after surgery my armpit split right open and I was left to wait for three days with a large gaping hole before they would stitch it back up. Within a week of surgery my inner thighs, armpits and arms had large holes. The surgeon stated there was nothing he could do for me. I then contacted my primary care physician who was horrified and had me squeezed into kaisers special wounds unit. I had 25 visits to special wounds unit between Oct 23 and Jan 18. I battled for my life for nearly three months; not a single phone call from athenix to check in. I lost thousands of dollars due to not being able to work for months; not to mention $16k/$17k I paid for surgery and the out pocket expenses for recovery. I had to hire an in home care nurse as I could barely move for two months. I am scared and look like a monster. I reached out to them to see what my options were; they suggested revision surgery (at a large cost to me of course).
I would never ever recommend anyone do business with this company based on their lack of compassion. I understand there is such a thing as human error which is why I didn’t sue, but this company lacks ethics and remorse towards their patients. I have been left permanently scarred, disfigured and traumatized.
