Very Dissapointed...
What I was told at 4 months post op was that I will need to have a second procedure to remove the dog ears and to lipo some of the stomach area & "flanks" but that I have to wait until I was at least 6 months out. So I met with him today and the information I received was that he is going to "treat this like I'm a first time client coming to him for "hip" liposuction, and while I'm in there, I'll flip you over and fix the problems on the front." He now states that he doesn't include the "hip" (or what I would consider back fat) in his mommy makeover and therefore it is an additional procedure of its own. Costing an additional $3,650. If I decide to just do the corrections on the front I will have to pay for anesthesia at the cost of $1,250, but I would not receive any lipo of the back fat/muffin top that I hate so much. I'm so annoyed. I'm kind of regretting the TT procedure and with that I would have only gotten Lipo of the love handles and dealt with the extra skin on my tummy... Very frustrating, especially when he drew on me day of surgery it appeared that my love handles were included in the procedure. Not sure what to think right now.
Provider Review
Dr. Bartell is very nice and professional. He can come across as a bit rushed and tend to spend a lot of time talking about himself, family and hobbies. He has a strong reputation for beautiful natural looking breast implants done through an armpit approach. The breasts I cannot complain too much about. He did end up going with a 350cc implant which put me at a 34DD, I would have been happy with a full C or D, but I have grown to love them (So did my husband). My Tummy tuck has not turned out the way he described. It is much higher that he originally described as well as I have 2 dog ears and a lot of fat on my love handles that I am going to continue to work on. His receptionist is very abrasive before you actually become a patient and its odd how she completely changes to a nice and friendly staff member after you secure your appointment. I have mixed feelings about Dr. Bartell and probably would recommend him for boobs to anyone, but would advise them to seek other surgeons for TT procedures.
