I had full abdominoplasty and Lipo of my flanks on October 27, 2015. I had terrible results and developed a seroma. The removal of the seroma and a revision was done November 19, 2015. I looked good for maybe 1 day after surgery after that I had so much swelling I was never flat again and my sides popped back out. I look terrible and the more weight I loose the worst I look. I'm 170lbs and I look like I'm over 200lbs naked. I want to look good naked. I don't want any rolls on my front sides or back. I have now done my research with the help of this sight and have found a surgeon that has the experience and know how to accomplish the results that I know are possible. My surgery is scheduled for Feb 22nd and I am excited to have this done correctly.

I pray he will. I thought that I would take the risk just one time. I look so bad that I have to ignore my fear and go under the knife again.

I can tell that Dr didn't do a good job with your incision it looks to high up. I would of asked for some of my funds back especially if you was only flat for one day..

He used the excuse that I have fibroids as the reason for my results. I know full well my protruding flanks and all the fat still on my stomach has nothing to do with my fibroids. Especially when I was flat immediately after surgery. So instead of fighting I'm just going to another doctor.

The big day is Feb 22 if I can find someone to travel with me . If not I'll have to move it to spring break when my husband has time off. I hope I'm able to hop on a plane three days after surgery so I can recover at home.

First tummy tuck a failure surgeon blamed it on my fibroids

This is me laying flat. I don't see any fibroids. After my first surgery I developed a seroma and it turned into a baseball size knot on my left side. Not the surgeons fault but he made me believe the knot was a fibroid. I know I have a belly full if fibroids but I've never felt them before. The doctor made me believe that the fibroid was under all the fat on my belly that was removed. It wasn't hard sell because I know I have them. The knot remained until last month. That was over a year after my surgery. My gynecologist even thought the protrusion on my belly was a fibroids. I would have insisted that he refund my money had I known that he just botched my tummy tuck. My stomach is too loose and there's still too much fat.

No I have not had my fibroids removed. I really don't want to deal with them. I had a consultation two weeks prior to my flankplasty but I cancelled.
