No i never did. But soon hopefully... The more weight i lose the worse it hangs there

You look great he did a great job on my stomach I'll be a year in June this year my stomach is still going down I wish he could've done more Lipo on my sides and back but I'm going to get some Lipo done next month.

So sorry to read about what you went through, I was unhappy about a budge that my first surgeon left me with. 6 months later I found a new doctor and then a year later I did a mommy makeover and it was a good decision. You look good but I completely understand you waiting to look good undressed, so do what you have to do .

Yes, I have to pay for the procedure. Unfortunately, medical malpractice is a case that most lawyers don't want to take on. But I am still working on finding a lawyer. You only have 2 years from the procedure to file a claim.. so hopefully I can find one!!!

I really hope so too. Its just very upsetting that I paid all that money, and we had thoroughly discussed my pubic area, as well as the rest of the procedure, and now he doesnt want to fix where it looks aweful. Im happy with my stomach now that the swelling has completely went down, but its my "Mons pubis" that is very upsetting. I am a woman, and to have a boy hump in all the clothes I wear, is very upsetting.

I completely understand and I hate to know that your upset and unhappy I see what your saying and I pray everything works out for you god bless you and pray for me to have a happy and safe surgery June 25,2014.

Have you made an appointment to see anyone? And why not at least make an appointment to show your original doc what it looks like? Apologies if you've done that and written it - I didn't see it. Sometimes doctors need to actually see something before them to get what we're talking about.

Also, I'm not a doctor, but it looks like a revision on the mons will easilly turn your V into a soft U. It would be mostly skin. I just had a revision done in that area for another reason (you can read my review) - a hard ball of fat necrosis that needed to be cut out as it was causing my contour not to look very good. IT was done under local, very quick, and he cut out only skin and the fat necrosis. MUCH less involved and easier healing than a tummy tuck, and I'm fairly certain it would be for you as well... as in.. JUST skin.

Yes, my original doc has seen it, and doesnt seem to think there is a problem with anything. I have also tried to contact the owner of the company, but she wont return my calls. She actually brushed my problems off on to another person at their facility. I have consulted an attorney now, im going to let them handle it!

That is ALL i want. I have fat necrosis all along my incision but he isnt willing to do a revision or even remove the knots of fat that are dieing. I wish he would do a revision on mine, but he wont even admit there is a problem.

How can he not think there is a problem? What does he actually say when looking at it?

And by the way, fat necrosis is a common outcome - it's not the surgeon's fault. BUT... he should address it. Mine did, at no charge - other than the cost of the fat tissue being sent to a lab, which it has to be everything time something like that is cut out (my insurance will cover that, though). Often it takes a revision to get things just as they should be. This is not unusual. It seems what's unusual is that your doc won't consider it.

Email photos to the "owner," if need be (they're pretty telling), but know that just because someone else owns the facility, it doesn't mean the doctors don't basically operate their own businesses out of it. He/she (the "owner") may not be legally liable anyway, unless the facility itself was at fault, physical standards and equipment not up to par, etc.

He said that there was nothing out of the ordinary. He also said that I needed to lose weight and that would fix my mons pubis, but the more weight I lose, the more saggy it gets.

I understand they arent at fault. But he is operating out of their facility. I just dont know what to do, but I do have a legal contract saying that if I need a revision, I will be given one but be responsible for the cost of anesthesia, which I have no problem with. A revision is ALL that I want from him, but like I said he wont even admit there is anything that needs to be addressed.

Oy. What an idiot - it's clear to me (that it would only sag more and can easily come off) and I'm not even a doctor!!!

Yes, Girl I know. I feel nasty!! Like im not a woman!! I shouldnt have this huge "boy hump" in my pants when i wear my bathing suit!!! I just want it fixed.. Im not unhappy with the my stomach or any or that... its just my Mons pubis and my knots along my incision

Ugh! So frustrating! Maybe he hasn't seen it's gotten worse since you've lost weight? Perhaps it's a matter of words and communication... maybe he merely wants to wait until you've lost all the weight you want to lose because it will be a tighter, better result than doing it now and risking the need for further revision due to later sagging? If that's the case, you can tell him you can't walk around this way and be happy so you prefer he'd do it now? I know I'm grasping! Just wish I could help. Sometimes the best thing is just to move on, pay someone else (it won't be ANYTHING like a TT in cost) and get it fixed with someone you like, if you can afford it. So sorry, sweetie!

Well, actually he quoted me for another $2,000.00 to fix it, my mons pubis. He had the RN take several pictures of it and such, before giving me the quote. Im not giving him another penny of my hard earned money. That is why i retained a lawyer. I just cant fight by myself anymore. Hopefully they can get a better outcome!!!

I hear you, but what I'm saying is: why have a doctor you're upset with touch your body again? If you can get someone else to do it, and you can afford it, you'll feel better knowing you're in good hands that you respect and with someone who you feel listens. I know it's money, but sometimes it's worth it.

I havent been wearing it for a couple months. It was actually causing me to get infections between my leg & mons-pubis from trapped moisture, so when i went to the hospital because I didnt know what was going on, they told me not to wear any tight clothing, because the infection would just keep coming back until the enlarged area is corrected. My surgeon was supposed to fix my "mons-pubis" during my TT, he supposedly did liposuction, but did not remove enough fat/skin from that area. Now he will not do anything to address it, unless i fork over another $2,000.00 for a monsplasty. This issue was supposed to be corrected within the tummy tuck, but now he is going back on what we discussed. He told me that I needed to lose weight, and that would help it if I didnt want to have another surgery, and with the weight lose and exercise all i notice is it sags more and more every day.

I'm so sorry that you're going through this. I am 7 months out and still notice some swelling in my pubic area. I hate it. Have you thought of possibly speaking to a lawyer about this considering he did NOT do what he was supposed to?

Yes, I have spoken with a lawyer, and also made a report to the BBB (better business bureau. Hopefully something will be worked out. I tried talking to the owner of the company, but she wont even return my phone calls.

Glad to hear. Hope it stays that way! I didnt notice my unsightful flaws for a couple months! Hope you are feeling well!! Get lots of rest!!

Yes I trust a have Faith in God he will continue to heal my body an there's no later or future issues with or from my procedure. Thanks an yes plenty of rest.
