Dr Fee performed a tummy tuck. Had it in 2011. I was pleased with the difference in my abs. However, the top part of my stomach is not as flat and I still have a complex in wearing a 2 piece. 2 weeks after my procedure, I asked if it would go down, he abruptly answered "I don't know that yet"!! I feel like he did know but just wasn't ready to tell me because he knew he would be telling me it will be additional fees. He is not detailed as far as what to expect. Example: he does not inform you that you may have to get the back part done as well. Sometimes he comes off a little rude. Maybe a little easy to be irritated if you ask him something that does not sit well and too many questions. Not the best bedside manners. I think he's great with body enhancements on certain ethnicities.

My scar is horrible, and I'm a little disappointed because I paid over $10,000 and I don't have as much confidence about my body than before my surgery. As a matter of fact, feel worst. He made my breast too big and one is larger than the other (not mention, that was my concern prior to surgery) My body is not proportioned. For that amount of money, I should be a walking billboard for him and I'm not. I am a very small woman and never have been over weight. Now I'm going to a different surgeon and have to pay more money. The difference in paying him and the current surgeon, is he is very thorough. Even though, some of the expectations were in writing with Dr Fee, he was not patient enough or maybe he was not having a good day to explain my questions thoroughly. The current surgeon was very detailed and patient. And I'd rather pay him than give Dr Fee additional 4,000. Very disappointed.

This matters to me. I won't pay someone that sort of loot and get rudeness in return. We have other options in Jax as well as plenty in Orlando.

What new Dr did you select?

Dear Cindy, I have read your post and it took me a while to research who you were. I am sorry if you felt I was rude, I certainly did not mean to be. If you were disappointed in the beginning, I wish I had known. I don't believe any additional fees were ever discussed. I took a look at your scars and I am not sure what is horrible about them. From your before and after photography, you look very good. Your belly button might have benefitted from a scar revision but I certainly would not have charged you for it. Your waistline scar looks great on photographs so I am confused about that. Sometimes your upper abdomen can break a stitch or simply can not get any tighter because of your rib cage. Either way it does look dramatically better. As far as your breast size, you just needed to tell me. I only saw you once at two weeks and you never kept anymore follow ups to discuss this. Just wish I knew.
