Terrible Job with my Tummy Tuck!
I went to Georgia Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery for a tummy tuck with liposuction and muscle repair. Though I have a very slim build (5'7" & 145 lbs), I had a severe muscle separation from all my three pregnancies (I had fairly large babies) and I just couldn't get my stomach back to being flat. The timeline to be fully healed from an extensive tummy tuck like I had is 6-12 months and so being one year post op from my tummy tuck procedure, I thought this would be a good time to write my review.
The surgeon that performed my procedure was Dr. Daniel Park with Georgia Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and I must say that he did a TERRIBLE job! I do not say this begrudgingly. Rather, I am saying this after having paid quite a bit of money to have second-opinion consultations with four different Board-Certified surgeons. They all confirmed that my tummy tuck was very poorly done and I would need to repeat the process again with another full tummy tuck. After spending close to $12,000 in cash on this procedure with Dr. Park, I am left with a bulging stomach that is not esthetically pleasing. Here are the problems with my results:
1) My belly button is very visibly off center and looks like a Pepperoni.
2) My tummy tuck scar is way too high (and I noticed this is the case with ALL Dr. Park's patients). We all have very high scars that are at belly button level versus bikini level. It is a very high V-shape. None of the Board-Certified surgeons I met with could understand why he makes his incisions so very high! And because of how high these incisions are, the scars cannot be revised downward so the position is permanent.
3) I had a wound dehiscence (when the skin dies and creates a disgusting hole right into your stomach) a day after surgery which Dr. Park dismissed when my husband alerted him that the skin around the incision had turned Dark Purple. It later turned out to be a serious wound that required daily would treatment for three months and left a horrific unpleasant scar. Another scar that I did not bargain for!
4) My stomach is STILL NOT flat and there is a bulge in my upper abdomen, which should not be the case after having my muscles stitched together from my breastbone to my hip bone.
One of the Board Certified surgeons whom I met with for a second opinion said that he has had several patients from Dr. Park come to him for tummy tuck revision surgery and they all had the exact same problems as I have. I gave him my MRI images and he said that my tummy tuck was VERY HAPHARZARDLY done and the muscles were tightened both insufficiently and asymmetrically, hence the protrusion I am seeing now.
I wish I had known this about Dr. Daniel Park before spending this much money and time! I used him because he is a Board Certified surgeon, but now I see that some Board Certified surgeons are not skilled with tummy tuck procedures at all.
I am writing this review so that another patient does not have to spend this money and experience the same traumatic results as I did. A tummy tuck with liposuction and muscle repair is a VERY PAINFUL procedure (and I have a very high tolerance for pain) and requires many months to fully heal! Please, please, please DO NOT go here if you want great results. If you do go with Dr. Daniel Park of Georgia Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, please note that YOU WILL NEED A REVISION so you might as well set aside a ton of money for TWO PROCEDURES!
I will give him credit for being an extremely nice and patient Doctor, but he is not skilled in the area of tummy tucks at all! My one -year experience with this facility has been riddled with disappointments and utter regret! How I wish I could turn back the hands of time -- I would RUN FAR FAR AWAY from Dr. Park! I am not bashing his character at all, I am just saying that he will NOT give you the results you want. Do not spend all that money and time with Georgia Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. You WILL BE DISAPPOINTED! Please feel free to message me privately and I will send you my photos.
