Waste of my Money
Waste of my MoneyI have always wanted to get my hips filled out because I have dipped hips, even though I have got great projection and shape in my waist and bum. Everything else about my body is very good even after having 4 kids. I booked a Surgery with Dr Malol to get Lipo 360 and just get my hips reshaped filled out and didn't want him to do anything to my bum. I arrived in the Dominican Republic for my Surgery and the next day went in to see Mallol for my consultation and also get my blood works and medical checks before Surgery.
Even though I was given a quote already for DBL and 360 Lipo, I was shocked when I got to my consultation and Dr. Mallol started to recommend extra area to pay for, like I had to pay $250 separately for my inner thigh, outer thigh, Banana rolls etc.. I told him I will pay for just one extra procedure.
Why should I pay extra money to have him shape my bum eg Extra fee for banana roll etc if I have been charged full fee for DBL, isn't he supposed to do my that as part of reshaping and lifting my bum. I also told him I do not need extra projection on my bum, I just wanted my hips done. After my Surgery, immediately notice a lot of blood on my bed, I was soaked in my own blood, I asked for a change sheet and extra dressing and I was refused, so I slept overnight in my own blood and fluid, the nurses will not answer calls and they were not helpful.
Thank God I had my friend with me overnight who helped me move around, but I still laid in my own blood all night. I was discharge next day and as soon as I got to my recovery home I noticed my hips were still dipped, I was not happy. I sent a message to Dr malol and he said we will talk about it when I came for my checkup. On the day of my check up, I was surprised when 4 other ladies joined me in the room, Dr. Mallol assist came in and told us all to strip naked. Mallol checked us all together, I didn't like this because that meant I didn't get my private time to discuss my concerns and it was also a privacy breach doing a joint checkup on 5 women same time, same room, all naked.
Everything else that followed was not positive, and the most annoying part is every time I tell malol my worry he just waves it off. I returned back to the UK 2 weeks later and continued my massage and healing. My massage lady also thought my hip fat was not done properly, and looked strange. Two days after I returned home, I developed an infection in the incision site in my groin area, I was in hospital for 5 day and later discharged.
It's been 5 months post Surgery, my hips are still bruised, still hurt, with radiation pain and I cannot lay on my side. I have reached out to Malol about this concern and he still waives it off. Is my hip still supposed to be bruised and painful, sometime pain radiates to my legs. I am worried and I have now booked a scan and Dr appointment to investigate the reason why my hips still bruised and in pain.
I have totally lost the fat transfered to my hips, back to being still dipped. I feel like I wasted so much money, post op spending is still ongoing because I have to buy pain killer, tens machine etc... and the worst part is, I didn't achieve my aim for all the trouble I went through. Mallol was very responsive before he did my Surgery, answering all my question and being all nice, but post Surgery, he has been a very unhelpful and non challant.
