Botched and Need Full Revision from Other Surgeon

Glorious8802
5 months ago I went in for a tummy tuck. Today I went to another surgeon for a revision consultation after Dr. Halpern told me how proud he was of his work. I very clearly have a botched tummy tuck and Dr. Halpern didn’t offer any revision or any help besides telling me anyone who thought I looked less than perfect was just jealous of me. My surgeon today told me he has to completely re-do my tummy tuck and lower the scar. There was so much extra skin that I would also need another new bellybutton. I never thought after spending 15,000 that 5 months later I would have to do it again after my original surgeon was ZERO help. My surgery took double the time he said it would and provided no explanation as to why this was as well as he gave me two incisions on each breast which was not told to me before hand. Upset will never describe my feelings about this surgery. My revision is next month and I pray if you are thinking about using this doctor that you re-evaluate. At this point, I’m lucky I survived.

I know 3 women he has botched on a tummy tuck in the last 2 years. Leave excessive skin, shotty muscle repair, ugly high scar . He needs to stop performing them. He blames it all on their aftercare. He is horrible, unethical and all talk.

He blames it on weight gain, fat growth and does not care about fixing the issues. He is extremely careless and does not care. He has a constant staff turnover as well.

So sorry you're having to go through it again. I'm having to have an abdominoplasty scar revision (tuck is great! Scar has issues) from my (now deceased) plastic surgeon & saw your review while checking out drs & appreciate your honesty & photos. Thank you and best of luck with your journey.
