Tummy Tuck Revision... - Boston, MA

$11,000
Had tummy tuck in Jun 2014. Still have lots of skin left. Surgeon couldn't repair upper abs muscle because it created a bulge in the lower abs. Said my uterus may have taken up too much space in the lower abs. Had an ultra sound of uterus. It is larger than average.
My surgeon left MGH. So I am looking for a new surgeon for a revision. I also have a dog ear from the breast lift that needs fixing.
Revision is so scary. I worry I will end up having more scar and looking worst than ever. I feel a bit deformed at the moment.

Massachusetts General Hospital Surgeons
Dr. Jason S. Cooper was the surgeon who operated on me in June. He told me at 10 weeks checkup that I needed a revision and a new surgeon at the same time. He told me to see Dr. Richard J. Ehrlichman. After he told me he was leaving, I felt that he didn't want to bother with me as his patient anymore.
I went online to lookup Dr. Ehrilichman. Great doctor and a war hero who just got back from Afghanistan. "Dr. Ehrlichman is a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Medical Corps and recently returned from deployment in Afghanistan." I freak out some more because I don't think surgeons do a lot of tummy tuck at a war zone.
I was told by Dr. Ehrilichman's office that I need to see Dr. William J. Austen (Chief of Plastic surgery). So I made an appointment with Dr. Austen.
Dr. Austen saw me and said that I looked great and did not need a revision but he can offer me a different type of surgery like a fleur de lis TT or LBL with discounted surgeon fee plus other fee. I asked him if he expected me to walk around looking like this "half very tight and half very loose." He ignored me talk to his intern.
So after all that dealings with MGH surgeons, I am looking for new surgeon at a different practice.

I didn't include all the plastic surgeon on the list because some of them are too far from me. One of them works at Children hospital.
