I made the mistake of not going to a cosmetic plastic surgeon instead of a cosmetic surgeon. There is a huge difference. Please make sure it's with a cosmetic plastic surgeon. Do your research. Be safe

This happened from doing liposuction?

No. I had a tummy tuck and this is what I had to go through after surgery. The liposuction removed a lot fat from my stomach but it could have been done better to get the results that I wanted.

Thank you. I was disappointed and still is because I've saved to get this done and end up like this. Now I have to save money again to get this fixed. My self-esteem was low before the surgery and now it's worse because on how I look in the mirror.

In Fredericksburg VA. Surgical Arts of VA. Dr. Palmer. He's not a cosmetic plastic surgeon and that's where I made my mistake. It's a cosmetic surgeon. There's a difference . Do your research and ask questions and make sure you see photos of their patients.

I'm sorry this happened to you. There are always risks with surgery but who oh choose is very important. Ideally a *BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC* surgeon.

I understand the risks however the outcome of my surgery shouldn't have been like this but I didn't do my homework well enough to understand the difference between cosmetic surgery and cosmetic plastic surgery. Now I know. Even the plastic surgeon can botched a surgery as well so is it a risk regardless.

My experience going through a mommy makeover was devastating. Please make sure you go to a plastic surgeon and not a cosmetic surgeon. Surgical Arts of Va in Fredericksburg, Dr. Palmer was very disappointing. My results are disappointing, the appearance is awful. As you can see, it's very unattractive and now I have to get a revision done. Never again.
