Gravity and a baby. This is the first of many...

Gravity and a baby.

This is the first of many reviews I will be posting. I had an extended tummy tuck, breast lift/aug, and lipo of flanks in January.

The first problem was an infection. I had an infection and called to tell them on a friday. They said I had to wait until monday to be seen. I have mitro valve prolapse and an infection in my bloodsteam could be fatal. Anyways by the time I got there I was soaked. Sweated thru my clothes in zero degree weather. Even though the fact that I called on friday is not even in my medical records!(I have phone records to prove this). The fact that I called for my medical records is accually in my medical records. I am going to be uploading pictures for anyone who wants more info to see.

My extended tummy tuck did infact not extend to my flank areas. My areolas are very well let's just say I have one oval and one circle. When I asked dr k he said I was oval before. Oh. Ok. Then why are they not both oval. And you get a year guarantteed but when I went back for him to fix my tummy tuck I was supprise to receive a seven thousand dollar bill. I then called for my medical records. Then they said they would tack down my sides.I don't know what that entails so I went ahead to my next visit. Dr k informed me that everyone is unsymetrical. Yes. This may be so. But when you spend $$$$$, you expect to be a little symetrical...sooo noticeable. Anyways I will let everyone to judge for themselves. oh...and now I have capsular contraction.

U CHOOSE
This is the truth. I am out 25,000 dollars and am so disappointed...I have to have my tummy tuck totally redone. My lift redone and I have basically already paid for a second augmentation...I am seeking legal council and will be peacefully protesting in a bikini when the weather permits....oh and I am having some "ask ME about Advanced Aesthetics" shirts made....I will never have to say a word.....I am a walking bilboard and until this is fixed I will show anyone who wants to see! And maybe some who don't.

I'm really sorry this has been such a harrowing experience for you. If you would post photos so we can visualize your situation, that would help a lot.

To others in a similar situation, I would definitely suggest heading straight to an emergency room or other urgent care facility if your surgeon is unresponsive to an infection.

Please keep us posted on who you find to do your revisions.

Virtual hugs!

I'm so sorry to hear about what happened and honestly slightly more freaked out about mine now as well. I hope you get it fixed and win a lawsuit!

This was considered body contoring. By who I don't know. Not me.

I'm reposting my pictures so everyone can see. I took them down because my whole life was taken away from me after my experience with Dr. KURLEY. I lost my relationship of almost 10 years and didn't want him(my ex) exploiting my pictures. So if you think my results are up to par go for it. I spent 20k and have look at my horrible body every day. Dr. Kurley wanted 7k to fix his own work. Did I have extra skin to start. Of course! THAT'S Why I Paid For A Tummy tuck. They just kept saying they measured me. I still believe my front pouch is a pocket of fluid. It looks different and I still have no feeling in that area.

Was your procedure very successful and follow up services great?

I'm still recovering and can take up to 6 months for final results,I was concerned with a slight bulge above belly button at first.Was told more than likely just swelling and if it were there in 6 months he will take care of it ..he seems to be pretty confident it will be gone by then and I have seen that it is slowly going down as the swelling improves. I had to have a extra incision right below my bb due to not having enough upper torso skin to pull down to completely remove old bb .I was told by another PS same thing. I chose Dr kurley because he was very honest and took so much time explaining the surgery.So far all follow ups have been just fine and anytime I have a question I call and there has not been a problem.

I still look like this. They kept saying they measured me. Then they tried to say i gained or lost weight. They weighed me on carpet and i insisted that i didnt lose any weight. They then placed the scale on a hard floor that showed them i was exactly the weight i had been. Then he gave me something like a 7,000 dollar bill to have this corrected. I did have a lot of skin but i paid 10k and he assured me that i didnt need the surgery that went all the way around the body. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone.
