No progress. Was quoted more than. A few grand to revise

I am in the same boat as you are. My procedures was done 1 1/2 year ago. I came in only wanting to do lipo with fat transfer to buttock. Dr. Brantley insisted I needed TT, promising me a hourglass figure, flat stomach, etc.. Instead I ended up no change to my buttocks, stomach still bulges out, muffin top fat still hangs over when I'm wearing pants and so on. I paid over 10g and ended up barely any change and with a hypertrophic scar (itches all the time, so embarrassing). He is willing to do TT revision but I have to pay $4,000 with no guarantees. This experience has cause me so much pain physically and mentally. Hopefully your post will help others to rethink their choices.

I’m so sorry to hear that. They are some really sweet people though. I just didn’t get what was sold to me and at this point I just thank God for life and is learning to love me for the way I am

Here I am almost 4 months out , I have lost weight not much but yet I still look pregnant. I went to the beach and had all these sexy 2 and 3 pieces. Needless to say I have a fat love handle on one side and my scar sits kinda high with a hole or big indent. Then I have like a fat pouch or dog ear under each arm where I had removal and was supposed to be lipo'd. My beach experience was not close to what I dreamed. I had to hold my stomach in to get by.???????????? I just want the fat gone and everything tight so I can find me a cover up for these scars and be fabulous in MY OWN EYES.. that's all. Y'all read the story I paid a lot chasing a very realistic dream

I accidentally deleted my update but long story short these are not the results I was promised. I paid one 20k which could have been spent on my 10 kids. I was lead on the first time and is being lead on again my results won't improve. They not answering my emails. My stomach has a bulge and I have love handles hanging over my undies and back fat.. all I wanted was a smooth back and small waist.. JESUS!!

You most definitely have me scared because I was planning on having Dr. B do my tummy tuck, I am saving and scrapping (I do not have any money to waste) I want to look like I'm getting what I paid thousands to get, so I understand where you are coming from. I hope things get better for you. We both want what we had b4 kids and hopefully you will get it. I am glad I ran up on your post because when spending so much money you have to be careful and I am more confused about my choice now.. Blessings and happy healing to you hun.

I'm being told it's swelling, idk when I wear my compression and boards faithfully. It's only flat when I suck it in but then my biggest issue is how I came out of surgery day 1 with my right side very noticeably bigger than my left and 8 weeks later it still is. This beach body I was promised will never come if he don't fix it and it sucks cause I have beach plans in march but he is a really nice man and so is devin and Susan so hopefully he will make it right

Yes his whole staff is they why I chose him. Did you get your muscles tighten

Yes I did.. the 20k was from my first procedure which was lipo and being a faithful realselfer I just knew my results would come out like the ones I saw on here with bodies similar to mines but nope. Didn't happen so he told me what I needed and I convinced my hubby. Now hubby wanted me to get other opinions but I trust Dr B with my life because I maded thru the first one so even tho the quote was high I talked hubby into it and I knew I would have this body I could appreciate.. I had whole back lipo a skin excision of the bra area ,love handles and central ab lipo, muscle repair.. Devin said "super slime fine" I won't lie and say there's no improvement because it is and I know NOBODY is perfect but I know what would be perfect for my satisfaction and I'll be there with a little more fine tuning. If my tummy is round because it wasn't tightened enough I know muscle repair a 2nd time is not an option simply because you have to be inactive too long. I'll be satisfied with all the fat from my handles and back gone and possibly this extra skin on my right handle. It really look funny with one side of your body hanging over your clothes

I think everything will be fine. I know that's a lot of money, my husband would blow his top; that's why I'm trying to be very careful. Dr. B will get it right, but that don't stop me from being scared or wanting it done right the first time. You will get the beach body you want(better late than never) take care and keep me posted...

I think you look good! No offense but for better results one must really try to loose a lot of weight prior to surgeries to get the best results.. None the less you look great mama.. !!

How is it now? Some ppl are instantly flat I stayed swollen forever I was depressed crying and all but keep wearing your compression garment waist trainer whatever you have to. You may have to see a local surgeon if you do fluid it would need to be drained. Give it some time wishing you the best doll!

Tummy still round unless I suck it in. My handles are still visibly uneven. I live in my compression garments and board. He checked for fluids once in the beginning and said there was none. Almost 9 weeks out now. I'm just so discouraged because I have spent money and could have been doing something more important with it rather than to try and improve my body and not be happy with the outcome.

I was told to be at my ideal weight and I am. I am not made to be thin/slim. I am open to loosing a few more pounds but that 5/10# shouldn't make much difference. I've seen people bigger than me come out flat. I just want what the results the Dr said I would have. The uneven love handles and extra bothers me more than the roundness of tummy. I can't stand the hang over my underwear which by the way don't be tight
