Doggy Ears, High Crooked Scar
$16,000
I’ve lived 9 yrs with the botched job he did on me. Doggy ears, high scar not following contour and across my mid section. When i cried post op he was rude and dismissive. Avoid this guy. Ruined my life. I’ve been scared to death to have a revision because of my experience with him.

Fat transfer to face, the 2nd ill fated procedure
Pictures say it all: I was overfilled with 63 cc of fat draft. I was told in 2 weeks I would look normal and my look then would be permanent. When after 6 weeks that didn't happen, you can imagine the dramatic psychological downs that I went through, didn't want to leave my house and I thought I'd look like that forever. Then 6 months post op 90% of the fat graph disappeared in the middle of the face except for lumps under my eyes where fat didn't survive (fat necrosis), as a result the PS covered the cost of fillers. I have been since on a quest to get the under eye lumps dissolved and unfortunately the local occuloplasty specialist I went to made them look worse by injecting Kenalog into the lumps.

How are you doing now?
That is terrible. If it wasn't for the pain, I would say it's not as bad as you think. We are super critical of our own issues, and you need a revision, but it's not something children on a beach would stare at.
It's really unfortunate that plastic surgeons all take the stance that if we aren't happy, then we have to pay for the revision. That makes sense for most people who are just being perfectionists, but for people who were obviously botched and spent thousands, it's unfair.
I hope things got better now that it's 6 years later. Would love an update!

Permanent stitches not recommended
The mystery of why I'm in so much pain 1 yr post op and I feel inner pulling as well as lumps where the stitching was done is finally resolved: My PS used permanent stitches.
I thought that was the only option for the inside and now after one year I am learning it's not recommended as it can cause tearing of the muscle. I can't wait to have these stitches removed. Now I know I have to have a full tummy tuck done again instead of just skin revision. I'm liking my PS less and less.

So sorry to hear you are experiencing this. Did he do a fully tummy tuck with lipo and muscle repair? Wanted to ask before I comment.
I have the same issue...and my ps Didn't do muscle repair>:(
Mine was 4 months ago and then 2 months ago more liposuction. My stomach seems a bit swollen on one side. I do water exercises and have really been working my stomach muscles, so not
Sure if thats the reason. Think its normal?? I really am glad I did do it, but wonder when it will get better.
