Horribly Done Tummy Tuck
I'm going to leave an honest review of my experience having an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) done by Dr. Rappaport. I was bedridden for 4 months and had to have corrective surgery to have his sloppy work fixed.
Right after the tummy tuck I had a very huge pocket full of fluid going down the entire length of my abdominal scar on both sides. I had to have corrective surgery to have it fixed. He didn't charge me for the surgery since it was his fault but I had to fork out another $3000 within only a few days notice for the hospital bill. After already paying $13k cash for the abdominoplasty. After the corrective surgery was over I got a severe infection around my belly button which took him multiple office visits to repair and it took 2 months to heal. The infection was caused by the sutures he made being burst open right after the surgery was over which caused the infection. At one point he even had the nerve to ask me to purchase a medication he needed for the infection instead of him supplying it. He created a huge and wide scar above my belly button by him repairing the open wound. He told me he'd repair the huge scar during my next surgery instead of fixing it in his office. But I NEVER scheduled or ever said I was going to have another surgery by him. He just didn't want to spend any more time fixing another mistake he made unless I gave him more money for another surgery.
I also have a huge bubble on top of my skin below my breasts which was created where he first cut me open during the tummy tuck. I was lied to by Dr. Rappaport and his "assistant" Iris who both told me that the huge skin bubble would completely go away. It's been 1.5 years now and the huge bubble is still present. It has never even flattened a little bit. It's as big as it was right after the surgery. It's always the first thing everyone notices when I show them my stomach. I've had people point at it and say "ew what is that?". I am completely embarrassed and ashamed to show my stomach. This surgery was suppose to give me confidence and instead it took all of my confidence away. I never show my stomach to anyone or in public because it looks so bad and I'm embarrassed.
I refused to go to my last appointment with him because I didn't want to continue being butchered. I found a new plastic surgeon who has helped me try to fix his mistakes and make my stomach look better. But he cannot get the huge skin bubble to flatten or go away.
I wasted $16k on a horribly done tummy tuck. I am so unhappy with the results. And I went through hell and experienced so much pain while also not being able to work for 4 months. I was completely ripped off by Dr. Rappaport. My new plastic surgeon said I should of lost another 20 lb. before I ever even had this tummy tuck but Dr. Rappaport never recommended that to me because he only cared about getting my money.
He never came to visit me after both surgeries were over which I found to be completely rude and unprofessional. I had to reach out to him to even find out how both surgeries went. He does not care about his patients at all. He is extremely rude and always made me feel very uncomfortable with the way he berated his employees in front of me.
Dr. Rappaport is a horrible plastic surgeon and an even worse person. Every single visit I had with him he pointed out all of my flaws and tried to sell me on more surgeries. He only cares about getting your money. He gave me a horribly done tummy tuck and I deeply regret choosing Dr. Rappaport for my surgery.
