Made the skin more loose than pre-op

All I can say is that I am very unsatisfied with my results. I came to Dr. Askari after massive weight loss because he is known to do a lot of combination surgeries. I felt confident after my phone consultation that my ideal body could be accomplished in one round, so I decided I would make the journey from Seattle to Florida.
Fast forward to the day of surgery. For whatever reason, my arms were lipo’d, but the excess skin was not removed and while there are improvements to my back, there is so much loose skin that remains that I need to get a second back lift and additional skin removed from my torso as well.
My post-op appointment was very rushed and he even cut my nipple with scissors while trimming excess sutures before running off to the next person. He did say that I would have to get another back lift and obviously get my arm lift at another time because he made the skin more loose than pre-op.
I am 6 months post-op. I texted the office about a revision. They initially refused. Eventually they came back and said they would do it as long as I signed an agreement to not disparage them online. I consulted with Dr. Askari and they emailed a quote. The quote was not the cost of a revision, but full price. It’s really unfortunate that after spending almost $20k on failed procedures, they now want me to spend an extra $12k to redo the surgeries that I have already paid for. While there is a cost associated with going into the OR, this is not usually how revisions prices work and that is evidenced by quotes that others have received from them and my experiences with other surgeons.
