Ruined my tummy - the most painful experience of my life

The whole idea and process of getting liposuction happened very quickly, and that’s the way Sono Bello wants it. I came into the office wanting to exclusively take care of excess fat on my back near the bra area. I was talked into getting my tummy and lovehandles done as well, I was told repeatedly it would look off if I just had one area done. I was also given a “discount” if I booked the day of the consultation and conviently the booked me for a few days later and didn’t mention you cannot change your mind or get a refund if it’s less than a week and of course they made sure my appointment was within that week in case I had second thoughts. On the day of the surgery I continued to express to Dr. Flagg my concerns about getting my stomach done, but he further insisted it would look bad only having my back done. So I agreed even though I had like the shape of my tummy. A year later my back looks more or less the same, I workout regularly and I haven’t gained weight since the surgery.. and my stomach has a gross indent underneath my belly button, making it look like I have a stomach pouch where I never have before. It looks awful. Nothing as improved. I thought maybe by waiting this long it would get better, because you read recovery takes a while... it has not. I also wore the compression garment religiously and massaged daily to try to correct the unevenness.
Further.. the actually operation was the most excruciating painful experience of my life. I felt everything. The numbing agency seemed to have no affect. Dr. Flagg wasn’t the least bit compassionate either. I’m sure it’s not fun to operate on someone who is in agonizing pain. But I stayed very still despite going through two hours of absolute hell. Honestly I still feel traumatized when I think about that pain. It felt like I was being gutted or like a knife scraping me underneath my skin.

Excuse my spelling and grammar mistakes. I posted without reviewing first. Regardless, I would highly suggest not going to Sono Bello even for a consultation, they are well trained salesmen. Also for anyone considering liposuction, if you’re only minorly bothered by the fat deposits on your body, I would suggest no going forward with the operation. I went in disliking folds on my back, and came out hating the way my tummy now looks, something I had never even felt insecure about before. ( and almost no change on my back )
