going through hell

My story is still at the beginning really!
So I had surgery with Dr Balta 28th December 2022 initially the social media shows big private clinics 1/2/1 private consultation space very show boat but ur reality is ur in the hospital room naked ready for surgery before he meets you! Not the end of the world but not how he sells his story of up most professional 5 star service
Dr Serkan is a nice enough guy, he is polite, he gave an open opinion on what would suit my body and I trusted his judgement I thought i had done my homework in working with someone reputable
He was keen for me to get it all done as it would look great and I was going to be super happy with my new body, breasts, lipo, fdl tummy tuck and a small bbl! I was knocked out in my hospital room woke up there to not recollection of anything just considerable pain so he comes in few hours post surgery to take a first look tells me all is successful takes a picture to show me one nipple is purple one normal "it's brusing" and here the problem begins
I trust its brusing who am I to say different I have to trust his knowledge, few days pass its agony I get sickness I struggle terribly to get myself able but they want me at the hotel so off I go, the struggle was immense the bruise turns darker but "all is well" nurse tells me
Home time comes around I go for check up my nipple is black purple at this point "still normal' says nurse Dr serkan pops in says bit of scab it's fine stabs it with a needle i feel nothing and I'm dressed and off to the airport in no time because he has no concern I'm totally normal it's brusing
I ask coordinator several times over few days whrn still same reply it's fine. My health declines I'm admitted in UK ane immediately treatment starts for necrosis and infection
Week 3 I have the nipple areola and 30g of breast tissue removed a pico7 fitted but 4 days later we discovered its not enough to contain the dead tissue op 2 now and 200g tissue removed and I'm nil by mouth writing this waiting for third I have hardly any breast left it's completely destroyed my and its going to cost me thousands to correct and a skin graft to replace my dead nipple
Dr Serkan coordinator only really responds when she can sense I'm angry or out her for ignoring me her fix it solution was to just pop back and he would just sort it like its a simple tooth extraction
The reality I've been in hospital nursing round the clock iv hooked up 24/7 and I'm not getting better I have two specialised vacuums trying to save what's left of my breast
Dr serkan says he used a "special unique technique" well I feel butchered he's made no attempt to discuss this with me and had he paid more due care and attention maybe I wouldn't be going for yet more emergency surgery in a few hours
There are other imperfections with my surgery loose skin unequal scars I could of lived with peacefully the pictures speak for themselves my breast is destroyed thanks to Dr Serkan
Pre treatment great guy I guess they all are once the moneys in hand service turns to a one star at best aftercare is shocking to use terms like he would have to be the one to treat me as he used something unique others can't do is clearly not reassuring and the corndiator treating this issue so flippantly with comments like pop some cream on or pop back to see us is so unrealistic
My recovery is going to be complex and long and the Dr still can't be bothered to return my messages or the coordinator without multiple promoting
From my experience I would say this surgeon is to be avoided at all costs your life is way more important than saving money
