Horrible Tummy Tuck results

Dr Careaga botched me. I waited one year and a half to write a review. In 2019, he did, TT, JPlasma on arms and inner thighs and one breast areola reduction. I can say that I am not happy with anything that he did. And the worst and sad part about it, is that he is aware of everything and he is not willing or had never offer to help me or do a revision. With the TT, he left extra loose skin after in the upper abdomen. My abdomen has never felt like it did before, I feel a chronic pain and is very uncomfortable. It feels that I have a hard ball on the right side with lots of pressure as if is pushing my bladder and it bulges out. On the thighs, he left 4 ugly scar incisions, two from the drains and two from the JPlasma, where you can see when wearing underwear, he didn’t even try to hide those incisions. He ruin one of my arms from JPlasma as well. He left me with extra wrinkle skin on the upper part of one arm. And last but not least, he ruin my areola. Enough reason for me to say that he botched me and of course he will never admit to it as most of these plastic surgeons think that they make no mistakes. All Dr Careaga knows what to say is to “wait”. That is his answer to everything. after I told him about all of these issues and he has seen it with his own eyes because I have pointed it out to him many times and ask him questions, he just looks at me like if I am crazy. He is very arrogant and shows no mercy and even worst, doesn’t even offer to help.

I’ve had been going to other surgeons for help and they are actually helping me even though they didn’t perform my surgery. One doctor send me to get a CT scan done and another one is requesting a copy of the CT scan CD, so he can take a look of what it is going inside.

I will NEVER recommend this doctor that even to my worst enemy. If you had surgery with him and everything came out good, I am happy for you. But if you had a problem, good luck because he will not help you.

Do I need a tummy tuck revision or a reverse tummy tuck?

I did a tummy tuck in Miami, Fl with doctor Daniel Careaga. I attached before and after pictures, so you can see that I still have extra loose skin. Hoping you can help me and let me know if I need a tummy tuck revision or a reverse tummy tuck? And any good plastic surgeon that anyone can recommend me, please.
