What a Failure

So it has taken me over a year to write this review. I was truly depressed about how my surgery turned out. I am a single mom of 5 who saved up to get my dream mommy makeover by a reputable Dr. However, Dr Rey did not accomplish any of what I had asked for and left me in a great deal of pain for a long time. His only response was that it was normal recovery. But honestly he botched me and couldn’t just be an honest good person. Dr Rey and Vivian promised me before hand that if there was anything I didn’t like it would be fixed (only paying for OR & anesthesia) bc the doctor valued his reputation. But they lied and tried to charge me another 23k to make corrections, on top of the 21k I paid initially. Terrible and heartbreaking. Everyone who saw me who knew I got surgery said I wasted my money. Some more intimate relationships said I looked better before. I was devastated.
So basically I was left with a uneven TT scar with dog ears and the top of my original belly button visible as well as severe pulling pain; An extra scar up my stomach; I was given lumpy uneven fat transfer to the breasts; I was left with holes in my new belly button; My upper back was not lipoed as discussed which made me look bulky; My arms and under arms were left fatty; My butt was lipoed to much on the top which actually made it look shorter and was not filled and hips weren’t done; among other things. Dr Rey advised me to fast and do squats for a bigger butt. I was down 18lbs after surgery following a Keto like diet he put me on which is really where any difference came from.

Omg, that's a horrible incision line! Do you have a pic of the scar today? I'm so sorry he won't revise his work! I hope you can find some resolution.

The two pictures b4 the convo pics are photos of me a yr po. That was full tt, lipo and fat transfer to breasts. I couldn’t believe it. He basically took 21k for crap work.

Thank you for sharing. This scares me to death. I'm sorry this has happened to you. I really appreciate you sharing the conversation as well. It's sad to see Dr. Rey chooses to lie about the lipo. First they say 4 liters is the limit by law and then they say 5?? Strange. I see no bbl, no belly button revision, no implants as usually done with a mommy makeover. This is malpractice. He should be paying the anesthesiologist and facility fees. Absolutely absurd that he feels you should pay for his lack of performance as a surgeon and lack of artistry. I will definitely be staying away from him and I really hope you get the dream body you deserve.

Have you thought about seeking legal counsel for possible civil litigation? And I dont think you have to worry about anyone on Real Self EVER booking this doctor for anything. I wouldn't let him cut my hair, less on my body. Jeez he sucks. I suggest starting a blog about your experience with him, go s Facebook,
YouTube, Google and Yelp review as well. Spread the word and use you body he ruined to ruin his reputation and business.

Thank you. It took me so long to post this bc I was in a bad space. I felt so guilty taking that amount of money away from my family to have someone do this to me. I am interested in civil litigation.

Sorry, this has happened to you. Liking and hearting to boost exposure. Thank you for sharing your experience. My heart goes out to you. Google review him abs everything. If he won't do any corrections especially for a single mother you need to expose him for others and yourself. Bless you.
