Last year I went to Dr. Peterson to get a abdominoplasty and breast augmentation. About nine days after my surgery my arm began to swell and I was unable to move it. I called Dr. Peterson to notify him about my condition which he told me to come to the office which is a hour away. I went to the office and he didn't take my complaint serious and brushed it off. After a few days of extreme pain I finally went to the ER which they told me I had blood clots. The ER physician told me that I was lucky that I came in when I did because I would've died. I was hospitalized for a month because of my blood clots. When I was in the hospital I called Dr. Peterson and told him about my condition. His exact words where "what do you want me to do about it? You know if you try to sue me you will lose?". I was extremely dumbfounded by his response and told him I wasn't trying to sue him and hung up on him.I just simply wanted him to know that the reason for my arm swelling was due to blood clots. My abdominoplasty and breast augmentation look horrible! I have dog ears which he won't fix. Instead of fixing my dog ears he told me that I would need a butt lift to get rid of the extra skin that he caused to bunch up due to the surgery. With my breast augmentation he told me he would go under my muscle wall. I went to three different plastic surgeons to figure out why my breast inplants look and feel horrible. They all stated that Dr. Peterson went over the muscle wall instead of under which gives a horrible look. Dr. Peterson has horrible surgery skills and bed side manor. If you're going to have surgery please go with someone who's going to take care of you and does a great job. Everyone I've talked to that went to Dr. Peterson is unhappy with their surgeries.

I'm going to make a appointment with a plastic surgeon here in Atlanta. I hope to receive good news. I'm hoping they won't tell me that I need another tunmy tuck.

I think your BB looks better in these last photos. I hope you get good news as well. Hopefully they can just extend the scar to get rid of the dog ears. I actually like the front of your stomach. What about your breast implants? Are you thinking of having a revision for them?
