6 months post op around back (belt lipectomy)

WORTH IT$17,000
I hate my scar in the back! Not real positive about the thigh and arm lipo I feel no change there!!! I'm 6 months post op! Sorta not happy with doc and my appts are not lined up so I don't even know when I'm supposed to go back! What I will tell you is my mid section rocks and as far as that I'm 100% happy! I've sent 2 referalls who have had surgery with my doc! One thing that's important to me is for a doc to keep her word I'm unhappy I was charged for her to remove my back tattoo when she told me she would do it for free! She could not take it all off during surgery :(! I wish now I would have just had it redone it would have been cheaper! Would like a follow up so I can see my lipo arm and leg progress which I think hasn't changed, my guess she won't make it right beginning to think it was just about the money! Thinking I may not be back, right now I'm upset with my doc as you can tell! But my tummy rocks!!!!!!

Oooo nooo....thats what i was agraid of. I found one person herr on real self that was unhappy too. But i was leaving it in god"s hands since it was one. Do u hv pic of ur bk side, arms, thighs to show? Today i make 4 weeks. Im still swollen so i havent been able to see ot tell a difference. I hv one concern that she told me she will fix if need be. And thats dog ears. I hv one. On one side forming :( i hope she keeps her word to fix. I see her the 28th. Sorry your unhappy with her, thats my fear.

Well I had those big sides and for 8 months she told me they would go down then all of the sudden she says you need to have the tt all around the back! And it cost me just as much as the front nothing off for her part in it, I personally think she should have gone back farther, it wasn't really explained that well! Even when I asked her to explain not only that she wouldn't give me the $200 off surgery deal she just had that Saturday if I'd had known I needed another surgery I would have booked that day for the extra off! I do think she rocked my belly I don't really have the data on my arms I did have my hubby take a pic before surgery I should redo it I'm going by the measurements she took and if I remember right they are exactly the same! My appts are messed up since she had me do it at my tattoo removal a follow up so I didn't have to go to both offices and I never got a follow up, I called and got another hair removal booked but she said it was 6 mo till my next follow up, surgery was just 6 months ago now I thought she meant a 6 mo from my surgery date but the girl who answered said no, so the last time I saw her was 3 mo follow up! She said and did no measuring on arms or thighs said it would still take time...:: so I have no idea! I need to call in but I guess she doesn't plan on seeing me for quite a bit longer! I've been working out hard with a trainer so I do look good I thank her for that but sure am saddened by the last 9 months! Also I did hair removal of my bikini and I've done 7x paid to 6 was told by her it would be gone and would not grow back and then later told oh only 90% goes after 6th treatment but I still have way more than 90% of what I had and no more appts included in the $700 I paid for a bikini removal! I'm really discouraged right now!

I feel like honestly I have NOT gotten what I paid for! I need to discuss it but I'm so not confrontational it just saddens me!!

I just don't want a scar. DId you get a scar in your arms? Please keep in touch. I really would like to talk to those who had done work with Dr Burt. Thanks! :-) looking forward to hearing from you!

I did do lipo on my arms and I'm starting to be able to tell I can't wait until she does the measurements I do not remember what she said they started at in the office.... Anyway there are small scars about half an inch long one by my elbow and one by my armpit ... Unless I point them out ppl can't tell and after a year I'm sure they will pretty much be faded you won't see them at all I had my inner thighs done too not see it there yet. I am just 3 mo out and it can take up to 6 months!
