Wish There Was More After Care with the Provider

I went to him for a TT and back lipo. He was referred by a co-worker who went to him twice but that was also "years" ago. He was a very nice and a friendly provider with good bedside manner during my pre-op. Although I never saw him again, as there was no aftercare besides the massages. The nurse took pics of me and told me she would show him what I looked like. There was no aftercare whatsoever. Once my eyes could open they put me in my mom's car. The robe that I brought was soaked in blood and I tried taking it off before getting in the car and the nurse kept saying your boobs are showing, I said I don't care, I am in a car, and don't want that wet ass blood soaked robe on in my rental car. On day 1 PO the nurse came in and said," You didn't take a shower?" I said no, I was not told otherwise. she replied "well you are dirty and have iodine all over you." The women who did the massages did not speak English and only told me " it's good" when I tried to ask questions. I had the same masseuse for 9 of my massages and when I did get a different one I noticed a difference in skill and pressure provided. when I went to make more appts I asked for the new masseuse and was told no, that I had to stick with the other one. When I was getting massages the nurses would come in and out of the room to get stuff, providing me no privacy and even leaving the door open. When the door was open I saw the Dr outside the room saying something to the masseuse like as if she was in trouble. I thought it was awkward.I just kept telling myself I am here to have an artist work on me, not so much for all the other "care" I told myself he must know what he's doing to have so much confidence to not have to see his patients PO. The Rn's were snooty as shown above and I would have to ask the masseuse to see the nurse. I kept asking them if my sterri strips looked ok for 3 days in a row prior to leaving the city. by the last day, she told me to go home and take a shower and remove them and buy some sterri strips myself. i was shocked that they couldn't even clean my steri strips before I left. looking at the scar and having to take off the steri strips myself was terrifying as I thought that I would open the incision and no one would be there to help me. I thought that I would have to go home with a drain in as my output was not below the threshold for them to be taken out. but the nurse removed it anyway. at 5 weeks I started to feel pain in my abs and was sore like I was on 2 weeks PO. I ended up having a seroma, or infection. ( the dr's in my state refused to drain it to figure out what was going on and placed me on 2 rounds of antibiotics) I Flew from Seattle WA to see him. I do love my results and my belly button is so good. I wish that I got my TT done earlier in my life b/c I look so good. i do appreciate his skill in transforming a body. Thank you Dr Salama.
