Disappointing Surgical Outcome and Follow-Up Experience

I am deeply disappointed with my experience and surgical outcome.
I underwent a liposuction and abdominoplasty with this surgeon and the results were not what was promised or reasonably expected. The incision was placed approximately 2 cm higher than where it should have been, causing my belly button to sit noticeably higher and giving my waist a squared, unnatural appearance rather than a contoured one. There are other issues as well.
The incision was closed without adequate tightening, leaving visible bulging above and below the incision that creates a quilted or puckered appearance. I now have a pooch that I did not have prior to surgery. Additionally, liposuction of my flanks and lower back was missed entirely — not once, but twice. I even underwent a second liposuction procedure, and the flanks were still not properly addressed.
The ends of the incision have what appear to be “dog ears,” further affecting the cosmetic outcome. Despite raising these concerns, providing photos, and attempting to have a reasonable discussion, the surgeon would not acknowledge the issues or take responsibility. I was repeatedly told that “no harm was done,” and therefore no refund or corrective support was offered, even though the agreed-upon services and expected results were not delivered.
This has been an emotionally and physically difficult experience. Based on my outcome and lack of accountability afterward, I would not recommend this surgeon to anyone considering body contouring procedures.
