Brazilian butt lift - I wanted a natural and not exaggerated look

ORIGINAL POST

do not use dr.karaaltin for bbl- cancel your appointment!

Do not use this doctor. I know they are cheap but you will spend way more on corrective surgery afterwards, trust me.
I went to have a BBL in December 2019 in Turkey at Dr.Karaaltin’s clinic. He seemed nice and bubbly, but I repeated more than once that I wanted a natural and not exaggerated look. When I flew out to have it done, it seemed that this request went out the window and the look I received was exaggerated especially around the hip area. I was also given poor post-op surgery advice, for example, no encouragement to get massages. From that point on I only had one post-op appointment where the doctor came to the UK then we headed into Covid.?
As I was healing I noticed how strange my shape was getting. I got a huge lump on my stomach (despite wearing my faja everyday) which eventually went down with massages as well as noticing dents all around my stomach. The biggest problem I had though was when I noticed more fat had been taken from one side of my stomach than the other which meant my stomach looked disproportionate and strange, with a dent in the side. My hips were also looking more and more exaggerated. Please see the picture attached. The team kept saying that due to covid the doctor couldn't come down to the UK and see me, this is fair enough but I asked them if they had any recommendations for any other doctors I could see or any advice on ways I can deal with the problem to which they said no. They were super unhelpful and basically acted like I was no longer their problem since I had already paid.??
To stop living like this, over the last month, I have spent £10K on corrective procedures including Sculptra (to fill dents in my stomach), lipo and cool sculpting (for hip/ side bum area). I am not rich at all but I had no choice for the sake of my sanity. ??It is my biggest regret going in the first place. ??
Also, side note, I reached out to them before writing this review to see if we can settle this by me getting a refund (the very LEAST they can do). This wouldn’t make up for the lost cash in corrections but at least would be something, but they have been dismissive and decided to ignore my emails after agreeing to a video call.??Seriously think twice ladies, get someone who will listen and take your needs seriously and save yourself the stress.

I had surgery with Dr Karaaltin two months ago. I didn't have a thorough consultation at all. He came in and was there for maybe 10 minutes. I think we talk for maximum 2minutes about the actual procedure. Everything else was about his work in Iraq and just everyday life. It's nice that he wants to connect personally with his patients, but every patient would rather have his or her wishes heard before anything else. Also when waking up from surgery he came by and told me, he wouldn't be there for my check up control so this would be with another doctor. So I didn't see him after this and never had a check up with him. I've had a video call since I got back home. He is nice and he will listen during consultation, but I feel like it's only if the patients asks the right questions and says what is his or her wishes are.
Correction** I've had two video calls since I got home. Also he gave me his own number so I can contact him with any questions. I guess this is because he knew it wasn't ideal to not have a check up control with me. So I'm happy that he took responsibility for this
