I Look Worse Than Before Procedure

I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation by Dr. Finkle in 2017. I’m a mother of four and I now look worse than before the procedure. I was left with dips/dimples in my abdomen along with “rippling” of my abdomen. My bellybutton is extremely awkward looking and alarmingly hard feeling. Not to mention it’s now sitting only an inch above my pubic line. I asked Dr. Finkle if I should get a breast lift along with my implants but he assured me that wouldn’t be necessary because the implants would fill in any loose skin or droopiness. I trusted his advice since he’s the doctor and I’m not. Needless to say, that ended up not being the case as now my breasts look lopsided and droopier than before. I made Dr. Finkle aware of the way I felt and he agreed to do another tummy tuck and a breast lift free of charge. Over the course of the next year waiting for my procedure I questioned Dr. Finkel on a request he had for me to go to the dermatologist. I wasn’t opposed to going to the dermatologist, I simply wanted to know why exactly he wanted me to go before he would perform the procedure. Once I questioned him about it he said “well we are just not on the same page and I don’t feel comfortable doing the procedure anymore.” I was very upset and taken aback by this so I wrote him a lengthy, a polite plea to reconsider and I never heard back. I’ve been nothing but respectful to Dr. Finkle through this whole ordeal and feel that the over $13,000 I spent on this was one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made in my life. I’m now more embarrassed and ashamed of my body than I ever was and I feel that Dr. Finkle couldn’t care less as to what he’s done to me. I’m not one that ever writes negative reviews but I’ve done everything I can to try to make amends with Dr. Finkle. Please, please heed my advise and learn from my mistake, do not have Dr. Finkle do your cosmetic procedures!

I am so sorry you had to go through that. You still haven't been able to chat with him? That is a lot of money to just throw away. I hope everything works in you favor sweet heart.

So I’ve called his office twice and his secretary left him a note both days and I haven’t got a call back. As you may also notice he has now edited his response to me and deleted the last part that said to give his office a call to talk about the situation.

I sent him a lengthy email a number of weeks ago and never got a response. I see he commented on here. I will give his office a call and let you know if it amounts to anything. Thank you!

@ Dr. Finkle, I wrote a long letter to you a number of weeks ago and I never got a response or a call to discuss.  However, I am happy to give your office a call and try to have a discussion again.

I hope everything works out for you. I can only imagine how disappointed you must be.

Thank you! I can’t even put into words how disappointed and frustrated I am. I just want to look normal again!

Just so everyone is aware I have contacted Dr. Finkles office via phone twice and his secretary has left him a note promising a call back by the end of the day both days but I have never received a callback. I am also adding photos showing that Dr. Finkle has edited his response to me by deleting the last part that says to contact his office to discuss the situation.

Edited response from Dr. Finkle

He says he’s happy to discuss things, but not over the internet. But then doesn’t return calls from me. Also edits his response deleting the last part that says to call his office. Dr. Finkle is proving to me that he doesn’t care for his patients, only for his name
