Extremely Unhappy

I underwent an abdominoplasty with muscle repair and liposuction to the flanks. While the results improved my appearance, I was disappointed with my belly button—it was uneven, more oval than round, and had significant external scarring. Despite this, I trusted the doctor and returned for a second surgery to address these concerns and undergo a lower body lift and breast implant exchange for my 20-year-old saline implants.

During the consultation, I emphasized that I did not want larger implants. The doctor claimed a slight increase was necessary to avoid a breast lift but reassured me it would be minimal. However, he went significantly larger than agreed, and I have since developed capsular contracture, requiring revision surgery.

To make matters worse, the doctor did not perform the lower body lift or liposuction to my flanks, despite charging me for these procedures. I have since consulted with other doctors who confirmed that my front scars were placed too high and now require a full revision, along with the completion of the lower body lift I originally paid for.

Despite multiple attempts to contact him regarding these concerns—including the unresolved belly button revision, the failed procedures, and my dissatisfaction—he has refused to respond or refund my money. The lack of communication has been incredibly hurtful and frustrating.

Patients deserve transparency, accountability, and to receive the surgeries they paid for. My experience with this doctor has been disappointing and disheartening.
