Nightmare Tummy Tuck
I had a tummy tuck march 2019, I've had 3 kids and averaged at 110lbs being 5'0". After kids I had extra skin and stretch marks and severe diastasis recti which was my main concern for the surgery. I went to Dr. Nuveen, did an online consult, showed up morning for surgery and was nervous and excited. When I was finished I thought all was good, next morning I had my check up for after surgery and I noticed my scar was NOT under my panties line or hidden, but I still was still bent over and swollen so was optimistic. By 2/3 week post my incision was opened due to no bandages were put over my incision and the binder you have to wear caught the glue they put me together with and ripped it open. After sending multiple pictures asking what needed to be done they finally brought me back in (few weeks to a month) to clean it out. Got there, Dr. Nuveen checked it and said it's ok. just clean it daily and use liquid bandaid to let it heal. It was a thick scar once it finally started healing which took another month. After 3 months of trying to heal, what I thought was possibly still swollen my tummy was still pouched out and was not flat or the results you get from a tummy tuck. Going back to Nuveen to ask questions as to why my tummy was the way it was, first off trying to email and ask questions I was told they would call me back or email and I never got a response. Called to make an appointment they gave me a date and a day that didn't match up ( like This Friday June 14 but Friday was like the 17, so I just showed up that Friday) once I got to the office (3 hr drive) they tell me your not on the appointment book anywhere. I tell them what is going on and who I spoke with for the appointment and they went ahead and let me be seen. Got back to Dr.Nuveen and he is super nice but he tells me my tummy tuck didn't take and he didn't know why, I asked what should I do? After spending $8400 I should have been fixed correctly. He said he would have to talk to his Dr friends and ask because he's never had this issue or maybe consider a mesh. He said he laced my muscles up with 4 rows of stitches and pulled them tight, so he don't know what happened. He would get in touch with me in a week and let me know what the next step would be. A week goes by and never heard back. I call them a few more times and they take messages and that was as far as ever got. I called for my medical records and they would not release them to me, said I need to drive back up to them for them to release. I told them I had sent a release form for them to send them to another Dr so I could find answers to help my my situation and discomfort because yes it was painful still. They said they would but it would be a day or two, finally after 2.5 weeks my new dr received my records. Fast forward to March 18, 2020 (3 weeks ago) I had a revision tummy tuck with my new dr and he had fixed my tummy and it's everything I wanted BUT while being in surgery when I came out he told us that when he went in all he found was 1 ROW of stitches that were loose and didn't even start from the top of my muscles which was what was giving me pain in my abs due to my muscles pulling and flexing and a loose stitch it felt like my abs were ripping inside. Long story short I was BOTCHED. He got full payment and I got left with painful lazy not worth it tummy tuck and horrible results. Thankful I found my new dr and was able to get fixed correctly even though I had to pay even more. I would never recommend him to anyone for Tummy Tuck!
