Horrible Job

I came to Dr. Treece a year and a half ago. He did a tummy tuck on me. Needless to say I have to pay more money to fix the horrible job he did on me. It was not worth the money. If you would like more details. Text messages and pictures just email me. I would definitely go else where.

I’m sorry this happened to you, he should’ve corrected his work. Do you plan on going elsewhere?

CT scan results

R

So, as of today I have paid $600 out of pocket to get a ultrasound and CT scan because Dr. Treece is trying to claim that due to healing my muscles didn't heal right. Hence my stomach protruding.

But, both ultrasound and CT scan came back fine. Actually the CT scan shows that I have a small hiatus hernia. Which I knew this from the beginning.

My stomach has been this way since day one he did my tummy tuck. First of all, I have had 4 c-sections and healed completely fine with each one.

For him to tell me that I am being unrealistic about my results and that I possibly healed wrong is a insult.

I requested my medical records because I don't believe he did a muscle repair on me. So I meet with him today. We will see if he does right and fix the this problem without trying to charge me more money. Especially since he didn't do it right the first time.

Angry and frustrated

So, I try to give people the benefit of a doubt. I work in the beauty industry and I understand customer service. When speaking with Dr. Treece surgery scheduler I explained to her that the MRI that he wants to schedule me for after examining me. That I don't want to pay a extra dime for anything. I was told that how I healed was not their fault and that is listed in the contract I signed. I am so angry and infuriated because THIS IS NOT A CASE OF ME HEALING INCORRECTLY. I can show proof from day one of my text messages to Dr. Treece explaining to him that I thought something was wrong!!!!

First of all, after seeing many of my own clients receive a tummy tuck... these clients were huge and over weight and had a flatter stomach than mine! Literally the same day of surgery it looked like my stomach was bloated and I told this doctor that!!!!!

I knew he did NOT cut with stomach fat off me before sewing m muscles together. He lames it on swelling. First off the sew job was lopsided!!! And I literally when looking down at my belly I could not see my crouch! And it had a huge dint before my private area. And when I sat down I had extra skin protruding from my side area!

This was This way from the beginning! It is a absolute insult to my intelligence to try and act like I didn't heal right!!!

Explain to me how I have had four C-Sections and I healed perfectly fine, but somehow didn't 'this time for a tummy tuck?!?

I now don't have health insurance and he is requiring a MRI. I will be absolutely angry if they even suggest me paying a dime to get this fixed. I will get an attorney for this no doubt if they pull this crap. I have referred several clients to him and they have spent good money with him. I pray to God they don't try to screw me over.... because if they do.... this will not be pretty.

It looks like he did a tummy tuck without doing a muscle repair . I was told that your stomach looks bloated and pregnant if the muscle isn't repaired with the tt. He might not want to admit that's what he did.

Yes I know he didn't sew m muscles together correctly. It has been this way since day one. He wants to blame it on me having multiple c-sections and that my muscles are just not healing well. That's a lie. He didn't see them up right at all. It looks a mess. And he is insuring telling me that I look great. When every time I look in the mirror I look absolutely bloated and when i sit down my have a huge belly.

That really sucks that you went through the whole process only to be blamed for the bad results. Look on the bright side it might make you feel better. You can reup and find a better doctor that will do it right and get the results you want. Cause if you're like me you're not gonna be happy until it gets done right. I'm sorry this happened to you.
