Had a tummy tuck and bbl. Dr. Baez was niceand kept me safe during peocedure, with zero complications and no infections. BUT since 1 month post op, I noticed my tummy was not all flat and I had fat jiggling on my sides. I kept sending her messages questioning it. She said more compression and more massages. I had 15 massages and still wear my faja almost 24 hrs a day. Still not flat and still got fat on flanks. She just told me I need more lipo and it will cost me $2500!!!! WTF!! That's the regular cost of bbl without tummy tuck!! So she is charging me to redo the areas she wasn't aggressive in. That's so unfair!!! Be careful choosing Dr Baez... you may be stuck with fat sides like me.... ????????

Hi! Sorry to hear about your being unhappy with your results. I am in the choosing stages myself, If you don't mind me asking, how much did you weigh before surgery? Do you know what your HIM was? I ask because I'm thinking this would Happen to me too, I am currently working on lowering my BMI. But that's also no excuse, the doctors should be up front and let us all know the reality of the outcome, and not promise a flat stomach if they know it's not gonna happen. But honestly, you look good, but I know when we go in, after all this frustration and money, we want what we came for! God bless.
I meant "BMI", Oops, dumb auto correcting iPad!
Hmmm... i dont remember... whatever I was she told me not to lose weight after the surgery...
Your results look amazing Hun. That looks like a fluid pocket? what does it feel like when you touch it? you can have that drained. How many months post-op are you? You cannot judge your result for at least 3 months, some people swell even after that x
Keep compressing as well. Dr Baez should give you a free revision if you are not pleased though, it's the right thing to do x
I will be 5 months post op on 10/24.... i asked my primary doctor if it was fluid... she didn't think so. I will have the additional test run to be sure... thanks

Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope you find support in the community.

I love your scar. Sorry to hear you aren't happy with your results. As my day gets closer I'm wondering if I'll choose a different doctor. You aren't the first to express these things. Maybe things will get better since you're still early in the post op stage.
