From Bad to Worse
$1,500
I recently went to have the arm touch up done since even Dr. Zimmerman admitted that quote,
"Was I sleeping when I did your left arm?! He also had previously said that he quote "didn't know why he didn't do the auxiliary areas of my armpits, because he usually does with the arm lipo?!" Then, when I got there he got irate and angry when I reminded him of what we were doing, saying that "he's not going to promise anything!" Umm .... what now?!
I previously thought I might as well go ahead and have my upper abdomen/flanks and part of my upper back done being that eventually I want to have a tummy tuck but had an upper tire around my upper abdomen that has always bothered me. So I had already paid an additional $2500 with the touch up fee (that I don't think I should have had to pay).
Well fast forward, what the HELL was I thinking???!! I even had a gut feeling when I got there that I shouldn't be there and I should walk out and asked for my money back, but I didn't. Shame on me!
I got on the table and he began to numb me, but I wasn't numb enough! He told me he can't use any more anesthesia or else he won't have anything left for my arms?! The pain was a searing stabbing pain that I felt every painful jab! It was HORRIFIC pain!! And he blamed ME for feeling it!!! He tried to convince me "I" was the reason for him screwing up and not being able to finish!
I mean SERIOUSLY what kind of back door clinic is this?
-Never offered me pain meds after either time
-Never gave me follow up instructions
-Never provided any sort of compression garment.
-Used maxi pads cut in half to cover my
Wounds
-Blamed ME for the EXCRUCIATING pain "I" felt stating it was all in my head!
-Said he couldn't finish the job because of how I was acting (yeah I was sobbing from the SEARING pain)
-Totally uneven ALL OVER and he never even re-did my arms.
-At the follow up appointment that I had to call him to make, he told me that quote "yeah, it's going to be painful, when he said the exact opposite thing prior to that!" He also told me not to focus on my botched results and that they're "no big deal!"
-Never offered ANY kind of compensation for such a horror show.
I'm SOOOOOOO upset right now.
My stomach, flanks (plus my arms still) are
Completely utterly uneven with large gauges throughout and I was told by a REAL plastic surgeon that he caused so much damage that I will absolutely NEED a tummy tuck now to possibly correct it.
Please stay away from Dr. Zimmerman the butcher. I believe all these other positive reviews are fake because there are never any pictures. Well, here's some so you'll think twice before EVER even stepping foot in Dr. D's office!
Please don't be a victim of torture and mutilation like I have been! Spare yourself! PLEASE!!!!

Touch Up Tentatively Scheduled
So I went back and met with Dr. Z. I was still nervous that he would say, "What are you talking about?" As he (as always) was super nice and he looked at my arms... However, to my relief he immediately noticed the unevenness in my arms and actually made the comment, "Was I asleep when I did your left arm?" Lol! Thankfully at least he "sees it" and now the touch up is tentatively scheduled for the end of the month and he said he is also going to do my underarms fat since he quote "usually does this as well, but isn't sure why he didn't do it on me?!"
I'm SO grateful he is being honest about everything and I am NOT looking forward to the hellish pain for two weeks AGAIN, but this definitely has to be fixed as they are blatantly uneven and it bugs the crap out of me daily.
If this goes well I think I am going to return for Vaser to my upper abdomen and flanks because he explained it doesn't hurt nearly as much as the arms do and it's a much shorter recovery time. I have to say though in my right arm (the one that was done well), The vaser gave an amazing results and you can see the muscle tone in my arms and there's hardly any cellulite or unevenness of the skin. If anything it actually smooth out my skin some, which did not happen with traditional tumescent liposuction in the past.

Did you go through with it? This was hands down the BIGGEST mistake of my life. PM me if you want me to show you the horrifying results from the 2ns time. . I'm NEVER going back to this man and I want my money back so I can go have someone board certified fix this mess! It was literally so painful he left me unfinished and then blamed me for "supposedly" being in pain. Just unbelievable!
