Dr. Pincus is very personable, but I wasn't pleased with his work. I had a tummy tuck in 2021 my stomach never looked flat. My belly was bumpy, uneven and tilted to one side. My scar was stretched and uneven. When I brought it to his attention I was told it was swelling and that I looked sexy. My belly bottom looks horrible. I had to go back and have a procedure done due to fluid accumulating n excess skin on both sides of my love handles. Had to endure that pain n saw no change. My self-esteem is lower now since I'm forced to walk around holding my breath n sucking my stomach in. I look bloated all the time. And unfortunately will never be able to wear a bikini

Response from Dr. Pincus:
Again... your satisfaction is truly my only concern. Lets discuss how to make you 100 percent happy. Muscle can only be tightened to a certain degree in an abdominoplasty. No liposuction of the abdomen was performed which could cause contour irregularity. Abdominal wall protrusion needs to be addressed by good old fashioned physical fitness. A patient must participate in their own rescue. I am happy to address your concerns and offer a revision if you would like.

That's insulting since I reached my lowest weight at 155 and still felt I had to suck in my belly. That's strange I'm sure you said I had liposuction. Interesting. How can I see you when I did ask for a revision and you only offered to do half of my stretch-out scar?

This is how I have to live my life. My luck to have put my trust into Dr. Pincus he has no idea how insecure he has made me. I understand that I had a belly and it hung over my pants but it was due to my pregnancy. I loved my bellybutton now I can’t show it off or even wear a shirt that’s short because I’m embarrassed
