BBL and fat transfer to my lips
ORIGINAL POST
botched!!
$37,000
I went to Dr. Ching for a BBL and fat transfer to my lips because he was highly rated. He wanted me to gain a lot of weight. So I did I gained 15 pounds for the procedure. I've never felt that gross looking. It was for a good cause because I was gonna come out with a nice big booty. Then upon seeing my inspiration photos he recommended a hybrid BBL which means fat transfer with implants. I was hesitant because I know the risks of implants but I trusted him.
So it came time for my preop and it didn't dawn on me until later that he never explained the procedure he never showed me any kind of implants or even told me what he was gonna put in. He barely even looked at my body. Honestly he barely said a word.
The day of surgery I again showed him my inspo photos and he said that's what we're going for.
Then I woke up from surgery and is where the nightmare begins… I was pushed out of the office. I wasn't even coherent before they were wheeling me outside. And I was crying because I was in so much pain. Then one of the nurses said, "do you wanna see your lips?" I said yes and she handed me a mirror and OMG I was completely mortified! Nobody told me that after fat transfer to your lips they get extremely overly swollen. Look at the photo I posted, how could nobody tell you beforehand that you're gonna come out looking like that! When I talked to the girl at the office about it she said that he doesn't tell anybody what to expect because he doesn't want to scare anyone. WTF. I said yeah he doesn't wanna scare them out of paying the money to get the procedure done!And why would you ask me if I want to see my lips when they look like that? I immediately asked for my phone so I could call my husband who is waiting for me downstairs to tell him not to freak out when he saw me!
From the minute after surgery I was in excruciating pain for weeks! The worst pain I've ever been through in my entire life and it lasted day after day after day. I actually loved the shape of my butt right after surgery. It was exactly what I wanted. Little did I know…
It wasn't until I was going through all this that I realized his lack of information prior to surgery. I've had a few cosmetic surgeries and every surgeon has gone through every part of the process with me as well as what to expect afterwards.
I reached out to the office several times asking about things and I never got a clear answer. I had to research every question I had online because I wasn't getting anything from the office. I didn't know what stages I was going to go through. I didn't know what to expect in the future and I didn't know what was happening to me at the time. I was constantly asking if what I was experiencing was normal and if it would get better and nobody would ever tell me that it was gonna get better, all they told me was that I looked great which was not the case! They all made it sound like I was gonna look like that and stay like that forever, just like when the lady showed me my lips in the air after surgery. Her response made it sound like I was gonna look like that forever. She sounded disappointed that I freaked out.
About six weeks after surgery I knelt down and hit my left cheek on the end of the coffee table and the pressure popped my incision open from the inside. Why would my incision open like that after six weeks…? I had a wide open wound. I could see inside of my body cavity. I was very scared. I immediately got a hold of him and asked him if I should go to urgent care or the emergency room and he said no because they will not know what to do.
I am on another island and of course he said he wanted to see me but there was no way that I could get there in that condition. I was leaking a lot of fluid! I asked him if I could glue it and his response was, "no let it heal and wear a massive pat in your pants." Wow! I asked him to put me on antibiotics right away because I didn't want an infection and he said no it doesn't "look" infected. About three weeks later I started experiencing excruciating pain near the incision site. Again he said it doesn't look infected. I assumed it was the nerves growing back together in the healing process. I also have a really hard spot on the outside of my cheek. And it's quite a bit more swollen. I reached out to the office several times about the pain that I was in and that I was really worried but everybody said again I look great and there's nothing to worry about.
I ended up having some discoloration so I sent some photos and him and his staff said that it doesn't look like anything to worry about.
When I could finally semi sit down, I got on a plane and went to the office. This was a week after I sent the photos of the discoloration. Now he said he was concerned about infection and gave me an anabiotic, THAT IM ALLERGIC TO! Like WTF really??? And again at the appointment he told me I look great and it's a big improvement. I try to ask him questions about my concerns and I'm expecting to get the answers that I read about consistently online and he just basically tells me it's not gonna change. I am deformed right now and I'm worried about capsular contracture due to an unseen infection because he didn't think it "looked" infected.
I'm three months postop and you can see the outline of the implant on the right side and the left side is still really high and tight and swollen. But yet I still look great! NOT!
I told him that it looks like my ass is sagging and his response was, "well you have a saggy ass and there's nothing that I can do about it." Unbelievable! And NO my ass was never saggy. There is absolutely no fat from the fat transfer. And my lips look exactly the way they did when I went in for surgery. The total for these procedures was $37,000!! They were supposed to make me feel better about myself and now I'm a prisoner in my home because I can't go anywhere, I still can't sit on my left cheek. And the pain that I am in makes me limp. The plane ride over there to my appointment yesterday was unbearable! When the nurse finally called me into the room I burst into tears because of the pain. She hugged me and I just cried. I'm so upset! I feel like I'm never gonna look normal. I just wanted to feel sexy and confident with my husband and now I won't even let him see me naked from behind. We just moved to Hawaii right before my procedure and I wanted to be able to run around and cute little shorts and a sexy bikini and like I said I can barely leave my house and I probably won't be running around in a bikini until it gets fixed, if that's even possible. My husband is so incredibly supportive and patient. I don't know what I would do without him. But it's not supposed to be like this.
Dr. Ching's bedside manner is complete crap. There was a couple times that I texted him in a panic about what I was going through and it took me having to reach out four times and begging him to reply before he answered me. And he kept saying I can't diagnose unless you're in the office but he didn't understand I could not make it there before I did. And now I'm in worse pain than normal today from sitting down so long yesterday. It's not easy to sit on one butt cheek on an airplane. When I was in the office and I told him how much pain I was in from sitting down for so long he said well you should be able to sit down.… I said well I can't! Like maybe if you would've given me antibiotics weeks ago like I asked I wouldn't be going through this crap right now.
I have felt so alone through this whole process. Especially when I needed somebody the most.
I know he has a lot of great reviews. But I guess I'm just that one they got unlucky. Although I have not seen any reviews of his butt implants nor has The Office sent me before and after photos after asking four times. I'm beginning to wonder if he even has any, and if so probably not very many.
The only good thing about his office is the staff is very nice. But honestly I think everybody over there just wants to make a buck.
