Botched Liposuction and Renuvion Ruined My Tummy

Just wanted to post a final update of how badly this doctor ruined my stomach. I got a mini tummy tuck about 8 months ago by another surgeon to get rid of those hideous adhered wrinkles in my skin. And luckily those are gone but as you can see my stomach still looks butchered. I hardly have any fat at all in my lower stomach, I hate that and it’s full of dents from uneven fat removal. He totally over treated me and removed mostly all my fat.
I regret this decision everyday, it’s ruined my life and has put me through so much mental anguish. I always wonder how my life would be like now if I would have never went through with his. God I wish I could turn back time and undo it all. But I can’t and this is something I will forever regret and will have to learn to live with. I try to move on and act happy but it kills me inside everyone I look at it in the mirror or see a picture. I still cry almost every day, I feel like I will just not mentally recover from this ordeal. And I know it could be worse and I should be thankful at least the wrinkles are gone but I’m just having such a hard time with this still. I pray I will get over it one day and move on and be happy again. It has just been a very traumatic experience for me.

At 6 months I had a mini tummy tuck by another surgeon in hopes of fixing as much as could be fixed so I could move on from this. To say my life will never be the same is an understatement. Dr. Greenberg ruined my stomach. I used to Complete in fitness completions and that is nothing I will ever feel comfortable doing again. I’ve taken such good care of my body my whole life and this is a decision I will forever regret. I hate my tummy now so much more. I would give anything to have my old tummy back. This surgeon did not Even take any responsibility for ruining my stomach and my fucking life. He could have at least acknowledged it. Please run away from this surgeon. Do not go to him or any services. You can see how ugly my stomach is still from the uneven fat removal. It used to be perfectly smooth and now I’m left with a deformed stomach for the rest of my life.

I don’t like leaving bad reviews but I truly feel you need to share your experiences with people good or bad so they don’t end up making the same mistake or going through the same thing. Let’s start from the beginning. The consultation went ok but it was just a quick really in and out. I wasn’t really planning on following through with the procedure but the assistant Kelly kept texting me asking if I made a decision so it was always fresh in my mind. I went ahead and booked the surgery. Mind you I was going for skin tightening with Renuvion. Was not looking for fat removal but I was made aware he does Lipo with Renuvion and that made for a smoother appearance. So hey, removing a little fat too, that should be good right? WRONG, not for me anyway as you can see. At the preop I didn’t even see dr Greenberg. It was just his assistant Kelly who handed me paperwork. Read and sign. Which I did, I even signed a paper stating they went over all the risks with me, which they didn’t. I should have asked about that but what could go wrong anyway is what I thought. Very naive. The day of surgery, no body went over anything with me. I was marked up by dr Greenberg which might I add my lower stomach being in red which turned out the worst so I guess red meant more aggressive in that area. It was an awake procedure which was brutal. Would never recommend it. Then I was sent home. Noticed days after even before swelling went down that I was getting adhered wrinkles in my skin and all I could do was wait. And yes time did help some but it would but it would never un-adhere my skin on my lower abdomen. Too much fat was removed, I was already thin to begin with. Every dr I saw afterwards said I was over treated with hardly any abdominal wall fat left. Ok well all I kept hearing is to wait. At post op appointments it was just rushed and all he did was take pictures. At 6 months he told me to wait until 10 months. His solution to fixing my stomach was to go back underneath my skin with the vaser but not suction any fat, that would break scar tissue. I’m not not a surgeon and even I know that would just cause MORE scar tissue. So when asked about tummy tuck he would still would use the vaser to separate the skin for the tummy tuck! Wow no, hell no. I did not want any devise like that back under my skin to ruin it more and I most certainly did not feel comfortable having him operate on me again. I was already so damaged. I asked for even partial refund to make this right and he just blew me off, told me I needed more time 10 months to a year and it I’ll improve. Sorry but I was a paying customer and he literally ruined my stomach. It was a big deal to me. And he cold not even offer a PARTIAL refund to make it right?!?? Nor could he even acknowledge any of this was his fault. I do not recommend going to this surgeon. It was a bad experience all the way around.
