Overall Happy but need revisions!

Mom of 4, all csections,and all big babies. My tummy was so toned and flat before I had kids and I wanted to have it back-at least somewhat like I had. So I had my tummy tuck,muscle repair and lipo with Dr Ziyad back in June 2020 when he was still at Xiluet plastic surgery. Glad he's not there anymore because Most of the staff there were rude and they made me wait literally all day for my preop appointment but I got there as soon as they opened& it was supposed to be 1st come 1st serve. Anyways, Dr Ziyad was nice to me and he took his time the day of surgery making sure all my questions were answered. He didn't rush me at all. The manager at the Xiluet surgical building was great as well-very kind and helpful. I didn't expect to be in so much pain waking up from surgery since I had 4 csections, I thought I was tuff. Wow. It was the worse pain I think I've ever experienced-not to scare anyone! But I literally wanted to be put back to sleep as soon as I woke up from surgery. Also I didn't get out of surgery or recovery until after midnight. Yikes! Then the next morning my post op appt went well. My massages with Jen at Xiluet were great as she was super gentle and sweet even though I got sick from the pain and her moving around all the fluids in my abdomen ,she was quick to help me. Recovering was a lot. Slept in my electric recliner for months. I actually still wear my fajas a lot and to bed-always. Otherwise I feel uncomfortable swelling creeping up still. But overall, I am glad I did it. Love being able to wear pretty dresses and cute jeans again and not having a roll of extra skin. I think Dr. Ziyad did a beautiful job giving me my figure back. Before&after pictures are in my old phone, I will upload them soon.

I reached out to Dr Ziyad at his new practice with my current photos and concerns but he quoted me another $2,000 to fix my uneven bellybutton and the small dog ear on my right hip. After just spending $6,500 last June on my tummy tuck plus travel and hotel costs, I just can't afford another 2grand and the time and money for hotel,travel& recovery. I understand that surgical equipment, anesthesia,ect cost money so I wasn't expecting him to fix his errors for free or anything-BUT I paid the same as all these other women but since I was nearly last in line that night,I feel I got the short end of the stick. I know they way overworked him at Xiluet and he must've been exhausted by the time he got to me(didn't finish until around midnight). But again, I hoped he'd want to correct these flaws for me for maybe not SO much just because he has such a good reputation so far. But I believe he is great at what he does,I am OVERALL satisfied. But I will have to wait on getting my bellybutton fixed and the dog ear removed. I hate how my bellybutton sticks out funny now. I've never had an outie and when i push my stomach out-it sticks out so ugly like I have an umbilical hernia or something. Ugh. Anyways, I'm attaching my before photos along with photos of my healing to help others who are stalking realself like I did before my surgery.
