I was very unhappy with the results, the cost, and the emotional toll it has taken on me. It was not worth it, I didnt get what i paid for, from the definition for porcedure preformed explains what your reward would be.

My flanks were not corrected during surgery,i have a very uneven shape front and back. i didnt lose a single jean size. i have a overlapping of skin(muffin top) on the front of my left side from assemthry being almost two inches higher on my right side.

I ask for revisions at 6months, again at 12 months, REFUSED by my plastic surgeon and his excuse was i needed a butt lift to correct my problems, that there not a result of the procedure he preformed. Leaving me broke, an saving money to find someone to correct me. Trully miserable an i feel robbed of the confidence i was suppose to gain,not including the feeling of being complete from the inside out.

I'm sorry you are unpleased with your TT results. Perhaps you should get a second opinion from another PS?

I agree with SpeedRacer. How anticlimactic to go through all that and not get the results you hoped for. Try to get another opinion.

Another RealSelf reader asked a similar question. What I found is here.

I can so sympathize with your fear to trust another physician. There are some amazing doctors out there, though. If you do decide to go that route, just take your time and talk to as many different doctors as you need until you find a great fit.

Sending you the best.

That sucks,its been a year? And no improvement! Have you asked him for corrections in writing? Leave a paper trail, then maybe u will have some grounds for litigation

I have took pics before and every week pic so i can show that my shape didnt improve , and wasnt do correctly seeing the post op results,,, its unsetting and a very costly lesson,,, thanks, i do meet with him one more time ,with a letter, a filled out complaint to turn into the board, There should be a patient protection form ,seeing that there consent forms cover them,, i will let you know what happens,,

WOW that really sucks! your right side looks like a dog ear area and your left side well.. lets just say you didn't get what you paid for! I agree with a previous poster... start leaving a paper trail... if no responce to that ... then publish pics and responces if any on all PS blogs you can find..
