Too long to wait for aftercare surgery - huge scar after mommy makeover

ORIGINAL POST

Too Long to Wait for After Care Surgery

SoCalmom87
WORTH IT
I had a mommy makeover surgery performed in July of 2021. I live in Southern California, but I opted to have the surgery performed in Utah because it’s less expensive and my in-laws live there so I would have help with my 3 kids during recovery. The surgery went well. I was very happy with the way my breast implants and tummy tuck turned out. I followed all of the after care instructions and after a few weeks convalescing at my in-laws, I had to return to California. I kept up with the clinic through video call and a few days after my return, I noticed my the bottom of my right breast’s stitches was starting to weep and open up. I called the clinic and they told me how to treat it. As a result of the stitches opening, that scar healed very badly and now I have a huge bump under that breast. This July, I returned for my after surgery photos. I consulted with one of the medical assistants about the scar and said it was something that Dr. Marion would absolutely want to fix. But, he is completely booked until September 2023 and that she would put me on the waiting list for an appointment in July 2023, which is the next time I would be in Utah long enough for a surgical procedure. I understand that because I’m coming from out of state and have a limited time window for getting a procedure done that I don’t expect to not have to wait for an appointment. However, the fact that they are so far booked out that even if I did live in state I would have to wait until September for an appointment is frustrating. I have a huge scar that I’m very unhappy with and I can’t get it fixed until 2 years later and even then, I’m still only on a waiting list for an appointment. If you decide to get a mommy makeover with Dr. Marion, be aware that you will likely spend years waiting for an available appointment for after care surgery.

I'm sorry you're going through that hell, but honey, don't be silly...no one in this world is that busy...they just want to get rid of you... My advice to you is to go to the Turkey 1. "Bage" clinic -Dr. Mete 2.or Dr. Serkan Balta 3.or Dr. Mehmet Erdem You can find all of them on Instagram and immediately get a free consultation and save money... I wish you all the best!
