I had one tummy tuck which was done terribly by Dr. Gary Burton in Bowie MD. I was so frantic to go back under the knife he ruined my life if you asked me he only tried to fix the problem but couldn't, complained against him I hope this review will help someone who may be considering him before it to late because based on my experience he is not skilled in doing a tummy tucks and replacing the navel.
I will post pictures of my before and after to help anyone who may be considering going to him for this kind of procedure. I was so hurt and crushed once I saw my final results I wished I would have never chose him as my doctor I am still living with regrets until this very day :( to be honest I have been trying to find a doctor who could fix my belly button and none could because of how he did the surgery, very sad and heart broken. I am going to continue looking for a doctor who can fix my belly button, even though I have been looking for years and couldn't find a doctor who specializes in belly buttons, except for this one doctor who no longer practices in Virginia, his practice is closed and he is now retired which sucks 1000%, Sorry for venting but I had to get that off my mind.
I asked Dr. burton for my pictures and I got the run around for about 2 weeks at the time his mother was his office assistant and she gave me all these excuses when I finally got my pictures I came to tears just looking at my before pictures it hurt so deeply, for many years I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror, I began to get depressed, lost weight and could not sleep. I didn’t feel comfortable taking my clothes off in front of my husband, even though he never made me feel down about it, I just couldn’t feel comfortable, not to mention I have never wore a bathing suit. I trusted this person who is supposed to be a doctor and board certified surgeon and this is what he did to my body, after going back to his office daily I realized most of his patient who had this procedure was coming back with the same issues with the belly button. The vilest part about this whole thing is Dr. Burton didn't even show remorse, concern nor offered to give me back part of my money or help me to find a solution to his mistake. I started to wonder if he really performed my surgery because before the procedure I asked one of his staff about any procedures that he has done on them and one of the girls said he did her tummy tuck and it looked great! Nothing at all like mine did. I will never really know if he was the one who performed the surgery even though he marked me up took pictures and he was the only surgeon in the room along with his assistant and anesthesiologist when I was put under, it sounds crazy but I just couldn't understand what happened in that operating room and how he could do what he did to me, he ruined my life!
I am hoping to find a doctor who is willing to help me look somewhat normal again so I can feel comfortable in front of my husband and have the chance to wear a bathing suit one day. I just hope this will be helpful to anyone who is considering him for any kind of procedure, or even just a consult please please be ware and find another doctor you don’t want to end up like I am.
