Not Very Happy with Results or Experience

I had a 360 lipo in September, 2019. I am almost three months post op. I do see some results but continue to feel numbing in my stomach, back and flank area. I have reduced wearing the full body compression for one month now, and wear only trainers. I have lots of bloating, stinging and my stomach area is lopsided. Dr. Ball did inform me that the area below my breasts may still protrude out and so it looks like I am poking out up top and gets slimmer going down. It’s ugly. Also one week after my surgery I was having a lot of swelling and pain. I went in and he was so dismissive after my exam. It was like he scoffed at my stomach and as I tried to ask him questions regarding the swelling and pain, he was SO, SO dismissive. I felt terrible, as if I had done something wrong. I had to go out on the internet and hear on Real Self to actually find out what was happening with my body post op! I have always had bloating after I eat, so I can expect that but what bothers me most is if I don’t wear compression or a trainer you can still see my stomach protruding, as if I did not have the surgery at all. This was a huge financial obligation, and I chose Atlanta Lipo b/c I admired Dr. Cole’s work, but b/c they had not worked with the financing company I was using I guess they gave it to Dr. Ball. What upsets me about that, is that when I went back for my one week check in they had the brochures in the lobby for the financing company! I was like wow, you give me crappy service that I paid for and the doctor treats me like I did something wrong to cause my surgery to go wrong but yet you are building a relationship with the new finance company. They offered me a few free services in my package. I went to the massage and it was not the same lymphatic massages I was paying for. She used a machine and it only made me hurt worse. Then they asked me to come back to do another firming treatment. Seriously, after spending $8K I wanted my doctor to discuss with me what went wrong (his only comment was “you seen how flat you were when I was done”....uhm, I was heavily sedated, laying on my back, I really can’t say if I was flat or not. All I know is that pretty much relied on the many woman out here who have experienced similar post surgery complications. I still have hard spots in my tummy area, but I self-massage and drink Arnica tea to reduce the hardness.
