Tt, Bbl, Arm Lift and Lipo - Dominican Republic, DO

I forgot to mention this Doctors name...Dr. Pedro Espinal. Be very careful!

Be very careful going to this doctor. I had tt, bbl, arm lift and lipo with this doctor July 2011. This man was the best I thought I had found. He was accredited by the dominican plastic surgery association and a member of a few other organizations. He answered very promptly to all my questions and concerns. My arm lift was a disaster. After being operated I was told there were no fajas for my arms so they bandaged them up until my mother got upset seeing the pain i was in and demanded to have the proper dressing but on me (the arm fajas). The scars are so bad looks like I was stitched up by a child or someone with no knowledge of what they were doing. There are creases on the incision on my arms. My tt is not even, the incision runs down one thigh while the other runs up to my hip and the belly button is so tiny I can't fit a q - tip in there and lastly lipo wasn't done on my back at all. Before I left the country I told him I wasn't happy with the ways the incisions looked and he assured me things would get better after all the swelling went down. Not so! These arms look like I had an accident and they were ripped open to then stitch them up the best way possible. After calling and emailing this Dr. for a whole yr and him saying to me those are the risks of a surgery, he finally said come back down to dominican republic and I will repair the errors but you'd have to pay for the cost of hospital use, meds and nurses. I said no as I no longer trusted him and a whole yr had gone by also why should i pay to have him repair what he did wrong or carelessly. Long story short, after contacting the medical school and sodocipre (the dominican board of plastic surgeons) informing them of what had happened with this doctor and threatening to sue him and go public with this, he decided to reimburse me $ 3,000. of the $7,500 I paid him. I took it and have learned to live with these scars. Im so scared to have another Dr. fix them. Ladies please be careful this Dr. has medical students operate on you while he pockets the money. His nurse, Juana whom also has a recovery house told me her nephew whom at the time was in medical school would help him in his surgeries whenever he needed assistance or had something to do. Obviously this was said to me after I had my surgery and she saw my concerns.
