Overall it doesn't look bad, just the up close of the BB that's the problem.

Dreaded update

Hey Ladies,
I'm sorry it's been so long since an update. I have been very disappointed with my results and I'm just not motivate to get on here and bash the work of someone that I trusted with my life. But I knew I needed to let other ladies know about the experience I've had. So going off the previous updates I'll just give a description of my final results and let the photos and previous updates say the rest. My belly button does not look normal as the surgeon assured me it would, and if you read my previous posts from above you will see that he actually got rude with me when I came to him with my concerns that it may not look anything like it should after spending $10k to get improvements. I did not expect a miracle but I do know my body and I did close to a year worth of research and looking at photos and reading reviews about these surgeries before going into it. I wouldn't have opted for the surgery if I had known what the results would be. What I didn't do was spend more than a few months on finding a great surgeon because I needed to get my surgery done on spring break and wanted to be ready for bikini season. My biggest regret is that I didn't go to a few more consultations (I did 2 consults pre-op) because if I had I likely would have seen through his front of assuring me that he cared to do his best work on me. I'm sure that i would have seen through him to the person I saw in the office the day I came to him with concerns about my BB post-op. He is the type that would probably laugh if he were to read this review that I'm writing about him and say "how many surgeries have you done? None. Well, I've done over 100." Which is exactly what he said to me when I was concerned with the appearance of my BB. Anyway, to sum everything up you can see the photos of my BB and anyone who tries to say it looks great would be lying. You wouldn't be happy with it if you were me. My BB was completely normal and cute before the surgery, when i pulled the lose skin to where it should have been, I liked the way it looked when I did that. I don't know what he was think or how he mssed it up like he did. But the pictures of right after post op and during my healing were not good. And during that time i had hope that i could believe what he told me that it would heal beautifully despite how it looked then. My TT scar I can actually say I can live with although it too could use a few revisions. 1 year and 1 month later I still have swelling like I did 6 months out. Not sure if that will ever go away. I also still have complete numbness from the area around my BB all way to my TT scar. As far as my breastlift (no implants) I'm very limited to what swim suit tops and bras I can wear because he placed my nipples in a very high position even with a full coverage bikini top there are times that my nipples show. :-( I feel different than I did before my surgery, like there's really no hope of me being able to feel good in front of my husband or in a bikini. There are times that I'm ok with it and times that I struggle. On a positive note I can say I'm thankful it's not worse than it is. I always type this on my phone so sorry for any typos. Your opinions are appreciated ladies. And the best price of advice I can give is get to know your surgeon as much as you possibly can. Good luck and take care.

I'm so sorry you aren't happy with the outcome, I'm having my surgery on 6/23 in Jax (different doctor). I personally think on your most recent pics that your belly button looks good, but I totally understand being upset with it not looking how you expected it to.

How has the bb issue developed? Are you happy with yours? I'm 8mo out and disappointed that mine still looks too odd and obvious to wear a 2 piece - was wondering how u felt
It has definitely gotten much better. I am still waiting for the final result. I'm at 3 months post. I think it's probably bp ossicle he might have to do some slight revision, but I also think it may get better on it's own. If it's not how I think it should be at 6 months I will talk to my PS about fixing it. If you're not happy you should definitely talk to your PS about fixing it.
