Disappointed with my result - shape looks like he didn't do anything

Disappointed with my Result

I am currently 3 months post-op. I was trying to be hopeful and wait until 6 months, but I know my results won't change much. I am very unhappy with my results. I was excited going into the consultation. The customer service ladies are very friendly and helpful. I will say he does not answer questions, so please do your research before going. Based on his IG, I liked the way he shaped the body. I knew my stomach had loose skin, and you can't do much, but I wanted a cute curvier shape because I didn't have any hips or butt. Because of my stomach, he felt lipo 270 bbl, which made me feel comfortable. I was able to schedule my surgery a month after the consultation. On surgery day, he asked what I was looking for, and I told him I wanted to be as curvy as possible and I really wanted hips. During the surgery, I woke up and could feel him injecting the fat, which he said was pressure, but it was very uncomfortable. I could also hear him and his employees going back and forth like bickering. A couple of days post-op, once I was able to shower, I noticed my hips were uneven, but I knew it was a possibility it could happen. My mom and I also noticed my butt was still square, but I figured because I was swollen, the shape would get better as I healed; well, it didn't. My shape looks like he didn't do anything, and I still have no hips, no butt, and I am still square. My butt is boxy, and the center of my butt is completely flat. He notices it during my post-ops visit but chooses not to say anything because he knows the results are not good. He also gets very defensive when you ask him questions, so I don't bother to ask because it won't change anything. I am distraught because I spent $10,500, and my shape looks horrible. He does not recommend massages, and the faja he provided is cheaply made. He does not give much post-op instructions other than what is on his papers. Because my butt is flat in the center, I only feel comfortable wearing my faja, but I know I can't wear it forever, but I wear it because it lifts my butt so you can't see the flatness in the center. In my last post-op visit, all he could say was," let's see what your butt is going to do." I was so upset that all I could do was cry when I left. It has been 3 months, and my butt has not done anything but shrink and looks boxier. Please do not bother spending your money with him; it's a waste, and his bbl work is not worth 10k based on my results. Save your money, ladies, and go somewhere else to a doctor who is open for questions and truly cares about the patient's results. I hope this helps before you decide to make a life-changing decision choosing him as your surgeon.

Oculo surgeon he just used the loophole where ANY MD can practice plastic surgery ... any... we have OB GYN doing BBLs in NYC it's disgusting they think money comes easy. They don't care at all... especially those catering to a majority minority clientele
