Horrible Necrosis Tummy Tuck

Worst experience of my life. I'm left with a huge open hole wound above my pubic area. And a hole in my belly button leaking fluid. I developed necrosis due to too aggressive lipo above the abdominal area and too much skin removed pulling my skin too tightly restricting blood flow. All my comments on Instagram regarding my complications were deleted and those of my friends and strangers who saw my photos.

Hi sweetheart I'm praying you will get better soon. Look up hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This will infuse oxygen to your whole body. Of course consult with physician first in case they have to address the spot specifically first with another treatment. Godspeed in your recovery!!

Has your plastic surgeon addressed the necrosis in anyway? I hope everyone sees how he addresses this and take note.

After finding out that he lied to me about several things I am no longer seeing him. He is now bullying me through his legal team to remove and photos and reviews ...i wonder how many others he has kept quite through bullying.

Wound Care clinic

catdance
Hi update time. I went to a wound care clinic something that my PS discouraged me from doing. I have it on text. They were absolutely wonderful. She sent me to the ER to ensure there was no abscess...she routed me straight their to a previous colleague of hers that was working at the ER, a PA. No Abscess, I was given the green light for treatment I have an appt. Monday to start care the plan is debridement and wound vac. I would like to add that at the wound clinic they checked my vitals, temp bp, sent me to ER, did a culture of the area, explained everything as they were doing it, and gave me a proactive game plan of the future all things that my PS NEVER did through out after care. I also want to add that after being told by my PS that he had been practicing since 2009 and finding that his liscense was only active in tx since 2013...then also aasking him how many times this necosis had happened to him in his career ...He told me 4 and said all ut 1 was yrs ago. He linked me to the 1 in real self. i join an FB group where I find more ladies that experienced NECROSIS by him all with the same time frame as my surgery. I was lied to about several things . After 1 month of being pacified with you will heal comments and Ill do it for free and ill give you 10% refund which I never recieved I FINALLY feel like I am getting treatment by proper kind people!
