BODY RUINED and WORST COSMETIC SURGERY EXPERIENCE!!! Please Read!!!

ml103068
I had my BBL done on July 2019. I went back to see Dr. Lakin a month later with 2 huge bumps on my stomach from where the doctor took some liquid with a syringe and no preparation of the area was done. At that time, he said that it was just liquid that I was retaining. I continued using my faja and the stomach board and I continued with my lympathic massages that I started since the second week after the surgery. On my 6 months visit, in December 2019, I still had my very well pronounced bumps on my stomach with no sign of liquid but pure fat. Dr. Lakin's reaction and suggestion to my condition was that he didn't understand how that happened but that I could have a tummy tuck to fix my stomach.
I felt extremely disappointed, discouraged and at this point upset. During the visit, I met with Melinda (Director of Sales) and she gave me the price for the tummy tuck and a lipo if that is what I wanted to do. I was astonished how they didn't even tried to help with pricing or maybe a review of the horrible procedure that Dr. Lakin had performed on me. Not the slightest sign of liability or remorse about having ruined somebody's body.
Not to mention that the BBL job was not good. I have pronounced dents and my butt is uneven.
I am exposing this review here with my supporting photographs to make other women out there aware of the importance of doing a thoroughful research of the plastic surgeon that will be touching your body and their guarantee as to the work that they will deliver.

Response from Dr. Lakin:
Sorry your results did not turn out as planned. Unfortunately, and rarely, abdominal skin may not retract well after liposuction and there can be unevenness after a BBL. We always prep before aspirating with an alcohol swab! Thank you for bringing to my attention your financial concerns and how others where I work treated you. I will bring this up with them. Please reach back out to discuss options.
