Extremely devastated by the results. I waited because every day my body looks like a nightmare in the deep depression that it sent me in to. I had a breast reduction and tummy tuck both of which had complications. I have animation deformities on my nipples, there is a part of my old areola left on one of my breasts that shrivels up when I'm cold, I have severe dog earring. My tummy tuck my belly button is scarred so terribly bad and is so hard that it doesn't even flex or open and causes me pain everyday. I have dog earring on my incision scars from my tummy tuck, the incision is so high it cannot be concealed with underwear or swimwear. I have severe bulging above and below the scar that never went away. I wore my compression garment for months as tight as I could as directed I followed all of the directions. I'm 170lbs 5ft6

Walk away if something feels rushed

It has taken me several years to get around to writing this. Every time I look at my body I cry because of the disfigurement. I was left with part of my old areola on my breast after a breast reduction, animation deformities with my nipples, severe dog earring at the side of my incisions. Whenever it's cold the piece of areola that was left on my breast that is not attached to the new areola that was created shrivels up. It's humiliating. The dog earring made it where I cannot wear shirts or bras without looking like I have a third breast.
The incision for my tummy tuck was places so high I cannot wear swimwear or underwear without the incision showing. There is dog earring on the side. In addition to that my belly button is so hard and disfigured that it won't flex or open. There is bulging areas above and below the scar. I can't begin to say how devastated I am with the surgery.
