In 2008 I lost a child when I was 28 weeks pregnant. I had to have a c-section - my third. I developed a massive hematoma and the incision split open and became infected. My stomach never went back to normal and it was a daily reminder of my loss. In 2011, I had to get a hysterectomy and decided it would be a good opportunity to repair my stomach and touch up some other areas. Two years later, I have had 6 revisions and horrible results that will need more revisions/reconstruction.

Final Revision - June 2013
kd1726July 15, 2013
The initial procedure included an abdominoplasty, breast enhancement, and liposuction. I have had 6 revisions over two years because of errors due to inexperience and poor technique. He did not take notes and I had to remind him about what had previously been done. The last revision in June was liposuction to my buttocks because of assymetry and to tranfer fat to my legs because of a previous error. He liposuctioned my buttocks and transfered the fat in an hour. I was left with horrible bruises and pain. No one called to check after the procedure. He completely missed the area he marked. My husband spoke with him and was told that the fat would move and fill in the dent....ok. I am now left with many uneven scars, uneven breasts, my buttocks is uneven and on my right side you can see the bone and it hurts to sit. There is a crease and a huge dent in my pants. My kids ask what happened and why I have so many cuts. I have spent a small fortune and left deformed. I started out at 148lbs and in pretty good shape. Be very careful in choosing a surgeon.

You need to get an attorney. You have a great case and you you should be able to win a case and receive plenty to get to a great surgeon who can fix this. He should also not be allowed to get away with this. He will probably settle out of court. Do not let him try to fix anything again as he is obviously not able to. Good luck!

Thank you for your review. I am looking for a Certified plastic surgeon and am terrified of making the wrong choice. . I hope that you have been blessed with a new, (excellent surgeon), and are happier than what I've read. Best wishes! & Many blessings!

Picture of Buttocks after last revision

This is a photo of my buttocks after my last set of revisions. Obviously, it is assymetrical. On my waist there is a bulge, which is where the scar was suppose to be lowered. It is in the same place, only thicker.

Omg. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this. Is your doctor fixing any of it or refunding any of your costs ?

Anyway, I do hope you found an ethical surgeon who, while not admitting to doing a bad job, will at least acknowledge that the results need more work.
Blessings...
