Everything he has touched on me needs to be redone

ORIGINAL POST

Please Do NOT Use Dr. Shelby Brantley

I had a tummy tuck 1/19/24, and an arm and thigh lift 2/16/24 all done by Dr. Shelby Brantley. I would not recommend him at all. I still have fat rolls on my abdomen, my belly button is too high. I need the muscle in the upper abdomen tightened because my upper abdomen bulges when I relax it. I still have a “bat wing” on one of my arms making it larger than the other one. I still have excess skin that needs to be removed off both thighs. The right thigh is an inch larger than the left. During my consultation, Dr. Brantley said he would remove a lipoma off my thigh and lipo my knees. Neither was done, and I was given another quote to have it done at a later date. I have seen another plastic surgeon, and he agrees that my tummy tuck, arm and thigh lift all need revisions! So now, I’m looking at more surgeries because Dr. Brantley’s work is sloppy. Everything he has touched on me needs to be redone. Please do your research before using him for your cosmetic surgical needs.

Second surgery performed

Generous943260
UPDATE: I had a second tummy tuck and thigh lift revision 11 months after Dr. Brantley did the first surgery. My new surgeon didn’t see where an abdominal plication had been done in the upper abdomen from Brantley’s surgery. There were no permanent sutures and the plication had to be redone. The new surgeon removed even more skin from my thighs, and they look so much better as does my abdomen. PLEASE, PLEASE do NOT use Dr. Shelby Brantley. He is pleasant and polite, but his work is sloppy.

Dr. Ben McIntyre. I would highly recommend him!
