I originally went in to Dr. Kayal's office I believe in October 2017 for a correction of "dog ears" created by tummy tuck I had years ago done by another provider. He fixed my dog ears that day for $750 and then recommended a procedure called Viora that would tighten up the minimal loose skin that I had on my stomach and suture area from getting pregnant after my initial tummy tuck. I purchased a package of 8 treatments for over $2000 and did my first treatment that day (steering clear of my new sutures). The first treatments were done once a week with the last couple of treatments performed once every two weeks. One treatment was prolonged because the scheduler never responded back to me and I had to call to see what was going on.

I am completely LIVID that I wasted my money. No results whatsoever. My stomach looks the EXACT same. Before pictures were not even taken. Not sure how many times this was performed on African American skin tones. Nicole was the esthetician doing the Viora treatments on me. She and Dr. Kayal were nice but I was definitely given false hopes even after I voiced my concerns.

Can you tell me what your doctor did to fix the "dogears"? I have a similar issue since a tummy tuck two years ago.

Hi. He literally cut the “dog ears” off and sutured the area again so it would be flat. Plenty of lidocaine and they bandaged my sides.
