I didn't know this line was for people to take the info back to your P.S

My p.s is good that's why I chose him. I do have a few issues that I'm sure will be resolved between us but I needed to vent and came here to express myself, cause others don't understand why I even wanted the procedure and sure wouldn't understand my concern. That's why this site is such a great thing for us,but to go to my P.S and discuss MY ISSUES is REDICULOUS . I still want him to help me, not feel as though I'm trying to discredit him . I guess this site isn't what I thought, maybe I'll delete it my profile. I can't believe a person would have the time to discuss me when the time with your P.S should be filled with you you you and some more you. Wow

I'm so sorry you feel that way. I was only trying to make you feel better because we are on this journey together, at least that's what I thought. I only wanted the doctor to talk to you to ease your fears and mind. Once again, I do apologize for mentioning to him that you weren't happy. Dr. Song didn't feel like he did anything wrong, nor did he think you were trying to discredit his work, by all means Dr. Song knows his craft and he is great at it. Just to be clear, I just told him one of his patients aren't happy with their results on Real Self. I can promise you this, I will NEVER comment on your reviews again. Once again, I'm so sorry you feel that way about me.

Southernchocolate I'm not sure that i'm following you?? Did someone from this site go back and talk to your PS??? How do they even know it was you? When I created my profile I was careful not to disclose my exact location, facial pics, where I work, etc. I even crop out my background in the pics. I casually asked my PS's nurse about this site and she had no knowledge that RS exists! I searched other procedures from this site and I can say that the Butt Lift real selfers were the messiest group that I've seen. Girl they were talking about illegal butt injections, suing doctors, and all sorts of trivial none sense. A couple of ladies were bullied so much that they took down their photos and deleted their profile. I hope this doesn't make you leave us. I am careful about what I say and who I follow. I have seen a few know-it-alls with egos after their "perfect" procedures so I don't comment or follow them. Stay positive about it all! We are here to help and share advice on this journey. I will say this, be careful about what you disclose because if things get out of hand your profile can and will be held against you. One girl screen shot an entire written conversation and then posted it. I would hate that Dr would do that. The way that you talk about him sounds like he is professional so I don't think that he will be offended by what you say. Oh and how did you find out?

The person on here told me she brought MY issues to his attention and I'm sure he knows because I brought it to his attention myself as I should have. I have to see him next week and I hope the relationship between us hasn't changed because of that cause like I said I still want him to get me right! I didn't disclose any information about who I am but you know I follow a few people with the same p.s cause its good to share experience and that's how I chose him because of the great experiences I've seen from people on here that he has worked on so I'm starting to regret having this profile but like I said others don't understand these procedures, some people thinks it makes no sense lol so I like this site because we all can relate. I'm debating on speaking to him about it like a woman so we can get it straight and move past it,I may need a revision and I want him to like me and no one wants to be discredited uugghh I don't know I sure wish she hadn't done that. But I will stay positive and I'm continuing to heal and he's made me feel good about it because he will fix any concern, unlike some others I've read about be just mean and done with you. But any way thanks for responding I was upset but I'm gonna handle the damage as best as I can with prayer cause my flat tummy and hour glass waist is everything lol I'm sure you understand

I don't really think you know Dr. Song as well as you think. He will NEVER treat you any different because you're not happy NOW. If anything he is going to bust his butt to make sure you are satisfied. Anything Dr. Song has his name attached to, he is going to make it right! I'll say it again, I'm sorry I said anything about this real self person, but never again. You can still vent and do whatever else you were doing on here before, my mouth is sealed about ANYBODY weather good or bad.
May 21, 2015
Neither of us know him THAT well lol I know enough and like I said I know he'll fix whatever and he's reassured me of that , there is no question there. That would be crazy of me to need someone else (stranger ) to reach out to my doctor for me. But what's done is done, I hope you see my point on how NOT cool that was, I don't know what you think you know but me and a family member deal with him and would do it again. SHE didn't even go back and speak on it lol I just don't like mess and misunderstandings. But this is let go, happy healing hunn and don't do that no more, somebody else would of turned it into a cursing match lol
May 21, 2015
And I may still post from time to time and if you wanna speak, comment, or have a question it's all good!
June 10, 2015
Hi southernchocolate, I hope all is going well and your healing good. I know you were unhappy about your results just wanted to check in and see if there's been any changes.

Day 18 and unhappy
southernchocolateMay 18, 2015
I have been patient and it's rough. I am not seeing the results I thought a tummy tuck would give. My scar is even like no other. I did so much research before doing this and at first I was going for liposuction but I said nope I want the best so I went for tt. I seen results from my doctors patients and just knew I was gonna be all smiles. Sometimes I'm in tears when I look at this. I'm healing great but the more I heal the more I see I'm not gonna have the results. My scar even goes up at an angle I have never seen with a tt I have low handles and it's not tight so can't see how it's swelling. I still can't look down and see my cookie . I don't mean to be negative but I had to vent , because it's embarrassing to my family and friends that know I paid for this and was soooo excited. My birthday is next month and I thought I was gonna look like a model lol but highly doubt it. If anyone has seen this change for the better, please let me know. I'm not feeling good about this. I tried to make sure I wouldn't be one of the ones that need revision, but idk what's gonna happen, pray for me yall.

I understand completely where you're coming from. Everybody is different and heals differently. I do see your concern and I would definitely let him know your concerns. I see him tomorrow at 1, but my only concern is thus intense itch above my belly button. I'm sure he will fix anything that's wrong. Keep your head up and try to stay positive about it. I'm here if you need to talk.
May 18, 2015
Have you discussed this with him? If so what are his thoughts or explanation. This has really made me nervous, I'm scheduled for June 19 and I know everyone is different but this has me scared as hell! He has a revision policy I'm sure, I hope that's an option for you. Keep your head up.
May 18, 2015
I'm trying, I'm really hoping he will fix,he said he would but dang I chose him so I wouldn't have to need a fix. I really need my scar corrected tho, the angle it's going is going to make it impossible to hide with panties or bikini. This is horrible for me,I just spent 60 bucks on scar gel and to think I may need more work lord help. But good luck ,I hope you get the results you desire, it just may take more for me to get there. I'm praying for patience
May 18, 2015
Don't get yourself down about it. It will take a few weeks/months to see your "true" results. I went in with realistic expectations before hand and I didn't look at those glamorous photos that were probably photo shopped. I'm exactly 100% HAPPY with mine either but I wouldn't change my mind about it. If it doesn't improve in a couple of months then talk to your PS. Happy Healings
May 18, 2015
Yeah I feel you. My expectations were realistic. My scar is freaking me out tho. I've never seen it like this. Did you see my photo?
May 19, 2015
I meant to say that i'm NOT 100% happy. I think your Doc tried to pull you as tight as he could and ran out of skin, ended up pulling down to the BB area. I've seen several of these where the incisions aren't straight. I do see swelling but I think once your swelling goes down it will look better to you. We both have a LONG way to go. I'm about to post pics of my scar and I guarantee that you'll feel differently about your scar. Girl, I'm spitting stitches left and right!
May 20, 2015
I saw Dr. Song today, and I told him about your situation and he said that it's still early for you. He said he was going to try to find out who you are and reach out to you. I really do hope you get better soon. Remember, you have to drink lots of water and still wear your compression at all times.
May 20, 2015
I would have preferred you not to do that, I have been in contact with him about this. This site is for us to share, vent, etc not go back and tell our P.S. Now I have to wonder what he thinks of me . He knows exactly who your talking about. I don't want him feeling any type of way cause I want him to help me, thanks a lot
May 21, 2015
Like I said before, I apologize for running my mouth and trying to help. I guess this back fired on me and this will never happen to me again. From now on I'll be concerned about my happiness and my results only. Happy healing to you.
May 20, 2015
Yeah I agree... there should be some sort of unspoken Understanding of confidentiality here. I mean for god sake half of us have naked pictures on the site. Maybe she was trying to help by running her mouth to your dr but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I would feel embarrassed as well if someone did that.
May 21, 2015
By all means I was not trying to embarrass her, I was only doing what I would want someone to do for me if I was in that situation.
