So Disappointed and Waste of Money

So disappointed in the overall experience, service, and results of my procedure. I kept being told at follow up appointments that my progress was normal things were going to be fine and I just had swelling. At every appointment I was told something different by each assistant that I saw. Finally, at a 3 month follow up appointment I got to meet with Dr. Salameh for the first time since surgery. Discussed my concerns with him, asked numerous questions, and was reassured things would be ok and I just had to be patient and let my body heal. We even discussed worst case scenario of having a revision/2nd surgery were he told me himself the only other surgery he would do to help improve my results he didn’t feel would be necessary. Even said it wouldn’t be worth the scars, risk, and I didn’t have enough skin to remove and so on. Four months later, another follow up and no change in my results and ongoing concerns, I was told by an assistant my only option would be to have treatment in their medspa and use laser treatment to help on the area, but it would be very expensive. I demanded an appointment with Dr. Salameh for his opinion and ask why and what he was going to do to fix this and that appointment was made two weeks later. Upon seeing him everything had changed and I was again being told something different. Now the surgery he originally said would not be worth the scars, risk, etc. was the only thing he could do to help and then even later on potentially a lower body lift! Of course, to do the 2nd surgery would cost me another $17k! I paid $15k for the original procedure that has left me with loose skin still, bulges I never had even before this surgery, my stomach area and belly button area look awful. I’m still ashamed to even take my shirt off and no way would I wear a two piece bathing suit. Yes, compared to before the surgery there is an improvement in appearance as far as how much lower belly skin I had, and I do not and did not expect perfection, but to see how I look now after going through all of this is devastating. I could have saved the money, pain, and risk if this was what the outcome was going to be. The emotional stress and insecurity is even worse now than before the surgery.

Decided to go with Dr. Salameh. Now I’m left looking like this. I was told for another $17k he will perform another extensive surgery as my only option to improve this! I followed all care & eat clean
