ORIGINAL POST

A Tummy Tuck Done with Very Poor Workmanship

Dr. Careaga did a Tummy Tuck on me and his WORKMANSHIP IS VERY POOR. I so regret ever meeting him.  I have wished a thousand times that I would have chosen another doctor but unfortunately, I did not. He talks about drain less tummy tucks but he uses drains. From the first day after surgery, the right drain did not work and he clearly hit a nerve in my groin and my groin and leg were in severe pain for months and it felt as though I was constantly receiving electrical shocks. He did not give me a straight incision as discussed and agreed to, but instead he did an incision that NONE of the Doctors that I've met with have ever seen before and they all said that I should do a scar revision surgery. I feel like I've been branded by Dr. Careaga. At this moment, all I can do is to let others know what’s happened to me and hopefully you will not have to go through the heartache of what I have and am going through.

Sorry this happened to you. Can you show pics

Thank you. I am very uncomfortable putting pictures on the web. I'm sorry but I'm embarrassed. You can read my complete story on the complaintsboard.com. Real Self does not give enough space for me to fully tell my story. I wish you the best in selecting a Doctor. Take care.

So brave of you to share your experience with others. Im so sorry you went through this. You're not alone. It sounds like we have had the same outcome. Big hugs.
Thank you and I'm so sorry that you are going through the same thing. Is it with my Dr. or another? Because Doctors are allowed to NOT carry medical malpractice insurance, it makes it impossible to hire an attorney. I'm trying to get the laws changed and repeal fl.statute 458.320 and mandate medical malpractice insurance. Hang in there and thank you for your kindness.
