BEWARE - INFECTION - FLESH EATING BACTERIA

I will keep this short, but I just want all you girls that shit happens and there is no perfect surgery and/or surgeons. I was so excited to have a new body i thought Tactuk was gnna be the one to restore my confidence back after having mommy body. It was too good to be true atleast for me. I had a LIPO, BBL and mini TT last January 25 2019. The medical assistants during my surgery had super long fake nails, they wore no gloves lol, and she was injecting me while exposing me to all those bacteria under her nails just right before i was cut open. After the surgery, I had the worse recovery, it was one thing after another, i had headaches, migraines, which according to tactuk, were normal bc of the annaesthia method that was used (epidural). I trusted the process, i dealt with the pain and suffering bc i thought it was gnna be qorth it. I couldn't stand or walk for a week because of the headache. After that was gone, the following day, all within a week of surgery, i caught a fever, should've known that that it was an early sign of my body fighting an INFECTION. All the recovery home gave me were tylenol shots after shots to mask my high temperature. I had a fever the entire week of my surgery and that was "normal". I was given shots of pain killers so i dn't feel the pain. I couldn't walk anymore after 9 days post-op. But "this was all normal".
Finally, after 10 days, i had to go home, o kept in touch with tactuk for support and recory. But, i was in so much pain, i didnt have access to the meds that they had in the DR. a couple of days later, i was home alone with my 9 month old baby, i could walk, i could stand, as if my legs lost all sense, my fever fired up to 40-45+ celsius. My baby was tryna play and here i was dying i couldnt move due to soooo much pain.
Called my mom and ambulance, i was admitted emergency case, due to septic shock, i was fighting for my life, as the bacteria has spread throughout my leg, my ass and my lower back. I was under COMA for 30 days, i had 6 surgeries to fully remove the infected fat transfered. Bacteria spread and i was depressed for months after that, i missed my baby, i couldnt walk for a whole month after being hospitalize for that long. I felt so shitty as a mom for the decisions i made. BUT SHIT HAPPENS. U LIVE AND U LEARN. Honestly, the doctor is nice, but shit happens. Next time, im not cutting corners to save money, the medical facility and infection prevention IS NOT THE SAME in a 3rd world country vs, a developed country.
I am now left with scars, bad memories and a hole in my ass probably for life, :) no other surgeons will touch this and fix what is broken and i am pretty traumatized anyway. Here are pictures. And some conversations as prood :)
Good luck ladies, i hope what happened to me dnt happen to u.
Took me 9 months to forget what happened, forgive myself, move on, i can't close this chapter without spreading awareness to all the possibilities.

Surgery and Flight Booked for January 24 2019, Full Body LIPO+BBL

I'm scheduled to have full body liposculpture and BBL on January 25, 2019 (If anyone's booked at or around the same time, DM me). I'm landing on the DR on the 24th of January.
I was in between, Dra Almonte, Dra Medina and Dr Tactuk, out of the three, Dr Tactuk is the most responsive, informative and patient-centered. He's in contact with you directly answering every single question you can think of, it's not an assistant who constantly has to relay a message and communication could take days.
Anyways, he's social media active like those popular surgeons, but if you search hard enough, you'll find his satisfied patients. So far, I feel really comfortable and confident in his hands, I heard his work is more conservative also which is perfect because I am going for a natural look.
I'll post pre-op pictures in a couple of weeks, probably a couple of days before the surgery.
Also, I am 150lbs, 5'1, 25 years old, and I had given birth August 2018 via c-section.
I didnt opt for TT as I do plan on having more kids in the future and Dr Tactuk respects that.
