Did doctor ever address the problem?
July 16, 2018
He did by blaming me saying I wore my compression garment to tight. When I was taking care of at the wound clinic the doctor said that was impossible and at the most would cause something similar not second and third degeee burns.

Would cause something similar to a rug burn *

Did he offer you any scar revision treatments?
July 16, 2018
Was never offered anything he gave me 5 minutes of his time telling me I was be fine and not to seek further treatment which I obviously did.

The worst part is that your surgeon couldn't own up to his mistake. I am so sorry this happened to you. Happy to see you healing.

My body looks great after surgery but I don’t think it was worth it after the burns that will leave me permanently scarred.

Your shape is very nice but nothing is worth getting burns like that. Then he added insult to injury by blaming you and not taking proper care of you postoperatively. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I think you saved many other women from possibly having the same thing happen to them.

I love my shape and will definitely say he delivered what I wanted but that still doesn’t make it ok to burn me and then not take care of me post op.

Does he take fat from breast area? I noticed you are pretty bruised there. The reason I asked is because most physicians won’t take fat from that area due to that tissue being hormone sensitive
April 9, 2018
No he did not I was just so bruised everywhere

I am so sorry you are experiencing this pain! I am post-op about 3/5 yrs from Del Vecchio and still have purple webbing (also, I suspect from too hot of an instrument), lumps that have caused sciatica, lines running up my stomach and back, dimpling, unevenness... their post care advice is terrible. They advised against massages but I am pretty certain that is why I am so full of tumor-like bumps- seek out lymphatic massage. They advised against arm compression garments and so mine came out lumpy and uneven. I am tempted to get those of us who were disfigured and burned and all get a case against them.

I agree he has completely ruined me and I don’t understand how he is still a practicing surgeon !
May 17, 2018
Dr. D left me extrememly disfigured with lumps and bumps all over and a gigantic ridiculous behind that i never asked for.... i have already had one revision surgery this past august with Dr. Perry in Miami and i am 100x better but my butt is still massively large.. this surgery has ruined my life and I wish i never went to Dr. D. Dr. Perry did a great job fixing his mess but i unfortunately still need ankther revision surgery and i am dreading that.... so sorry you are going thru this. I also wish there was something we could do. Dr D has botched so many women and is so sloppy with his lipo

I am so sorry to hear that he is a completely incompetent surgeon and I would not advise anyone use him. He is more focused on how many patients he has rather than giving good care.

:-O OMG you poor thing! That looks so painful! :-(
April 2, 2018
I'm so sorry that looks so painful! How did you get burnt during surgery? What's the reason? Did you have lazer lipo or something? I understand it was due to a bad plastic surgeon but I didn't even think there was anything you could get burned with during a BBL after watching hundreds of online procedures. So what was different with your surgery and surgeon? I see he burned someone else as well!
