Disaster of an Experience

I met Dr Mcfate in 2015 I felt very comfortable with him to proceed with abdominoplasty surgery. (still to this day no feeling) Fast forward to 2016 I had breast reduction ( to this day no feeling) Other than that, He did great I even wrote a great yelp review. Now i decided to consult with him for BBL & Upper thigh lift. I told him my feelings about my insecurities and wishing to wear shorts. He promised me that everything will be ok and i will look great and he'll do his best to make me happy. I had confidence in him. Surgery took place Jan 9 2020. Brazilian Butt lift and inner(upper) thigh lift. BBL, all fat inputted was dissolved. Inner thigh lift was horribly done. He also said he will make the back of the legs smoother. It looks like before but now worse. Dr refuses to acknowledge how bad it looks. Dismisses my feelings and just told that its just the muscle. Very bad Scaring in upper crotch area. I am so embarrassed to be intimate with my husband. Inner thighs look like i was mauled. I cannot to this day wear shorts or short dress. Butt area still painful to sit on. I cry all the time. It feels like a slap in the face by someone that i once trusted. He refuses to talk to me. Our scheduled virtual call, His receptionist does the call with me. Recommends Profound laser but i would need to fork up another $4,000 for that. Surgery was said to be a 3-4 hr surgery. Surgery took 10hrs. They refuse to tell me why and only laugh about it. I am still curious to know why. Manager Sarah Schneider has become very rude and a one time hanging up on me. She speaks in a condescending way. She has a "take it or leave it" kinda attitude. Ive been wanting to talk to the dr about her but i decided I wanted the surgery to go well without any hard feelings. It should have been a red flag when the day i came in to give her the full amount in cash that she was reluctant to even show me the bbl pillow without the money in her hands. She is also in the surgery room helping and i don't believe she is licensed to do so. I also had accumulated blood in the vaginal area, He said that it was normal. I went back to him three times to get it drained each time. Still my vaginal area looks a little lopsided. I will NEVER recommend anyone to go to him again. They completely turned their backs on me. I am so hurt

So hold on u had surgery whereby I have no sensations and u still went to him for more surgery !?? So who's to blame for the outcome !? Why did u trust this man enough to go again and allow him to operate on u when your last two surgeries didn't go well??? I'm interested to hear your rationale

Gosh give this lady a break! She's struggling as it is. I appreciate what you're saying. But you're coming across aggressive in my opinion. She probably already blames herself.

Mate please do not use buzz words with me in regards to my questions . U clearly do not know what aggression is so don't come at me !! Me asking a simple question and asking for her rationale to go to someone whereby she has no sensation left does not make me aggressive . So hard to someone else with the nonsense and read a dictionary on what aggressive and aggression is And that's my opinion !! Please and thank u Have a whatever day u want

Firstly, please don't call me mate.

I know it's your opinion and you're more than entitled to it.

Yes you have a valid point. But my opinion is it comes across aggressive.

Sorry, "so hard to someone else" doesn't make sense.

I will, have a good day.
Thank you.

If u read my posts my past two went very well, only no sensation. In which he said it’s a 50/50 chance. I guess third time was NOT a charm!

Take a look at the pics. Does this look like a surgery you would spend money on. All my money wasted, thrown in the garbage. He refuses to acknowledge how bad it looks. I cry every time I look in the mirror. I am so depressed and he could care less. Please everyone beware.
