Vaser Lipo and Breast Augmentation

Vaser Lipo and Breast Augmentation

On April 2018 I went for my free consultation with Dr. Bull. I originally went in asking for cool sculpting since I wanted to remove unwanted fat in my abdomen. I also was exploring the cost for breast augmentation. Dr. Bull and staff convince me to get the breast augmentation and vaser lipo instead of cool sculpting, the result supposedly were more reliable ( getting rid off the unwanted fat) and I was already going under the knife. Vaser Lipo was only 1k extra (since I was getting the breast augmentation) just as much as cool sculpting. They told me in two most you will have your desire bikini body, there is so minimal work that needed to be done recovery will be fast.
On May 2018 I had my surgery. Bedside manners were appropriate. Dr. Bull made a check up call after surgery. I was feeling in pain but greatful for his follow up.
I wore my compression gartment for 4 months and everyday I saw my self in the mirror with dissapointment. My breast were uneven. The left breast implant never drop and fluff. My stomach was a lump and wrinkled mess. I ask Dr. Bull how soon can I can a revision and I was scheduled for revision on Oct 2018. I had to pay extra for revision doctor's fees and facilities.
I went in for my revision. I was super nervous second time around for surgery. Dr. Ballgame in was professional doing his assessment. I had the surgery, once I was back awake the nurse tells me the surgery went wrong. Dr. Bull was not able to work around the breast pocket throw my original armpit incission. I asked to talk to him, but he was not available. I went home with pain and extra frustration.
The next day I call the office and 3 days later I had an office 2nd revision surgery. This time the incision was done under the breast for easier access. Finally the left breast implant was place lower.
I am now nearly 3 months after revisions. My left breast has a painful fold and Dr. Bull said he can't do anything about it. He just suggested me to massage it eith the hopes of the implant to move in the right place. My stomach even after revision is still wrinkled and lumpy. I was offered 2 Vasershape treatment every time I had the major clinic surgery( 4 vasershape treatments in total, split in two different surgical moments).
Vasershape seem to be helping second time around, but 2 treatments were not enough. I requested a lower price for these treatments that at the end there is no warranty will truly give the final originally expected results, but was rejected. Dr. Bull staff said there is nothing he can do. These are my unfortunate results. Time might help it a bit and that I can look for a new doctor to help me.
I feel completely abandon by his practice. I requested my records ( 2 weeks ago) and they haven't given them to me.
Surgery has ruin my confidence. I was very confident before, I was just looking for a small change. I feel the risk were not mentioned to me in full. No one said to me in his practice that what I experience can happen. It might be written in small print, but a professional should mentioned this very important undesirable outcomes. I was happy with my body. Knowing that this could happen, I wouldn't have left to the chance. I excersice, eat right, my body has always been important to me. Now I feel it was ruined and I desperately look for ways to solve it.
If you only have minor things to change in your body, don't do it! The headache, the stress, the money stretch is NOT worth it.

Did you do lymphatic massages for at leads 20 days post op?
That should have been part of the procedure, the post op care. I'm sorry your doctor wasn't more receptive to your wants and needs. That's frustrating. You should look into these massages, if you haven't already done so.
Good luck!

I followed Dr. Bull's instructions. He never suggested lymphatic massages. Recently he dropped me as his client. I am at about 4 months after his last revision surgery and still not seeing real improvements. These procedures were completely for the worst for me. I was looking for minor body inprovements. I had a pretty good body to begin with, now I am left damaged physically and emotionally. I am everyday depressed with the new body I am left with.

Wow.....I am so sorry. This is my biggest fear-that I have a "few tweaks" done, the Dr. doesn't get it right and then can't and/won't fix HIS mistakes. And he made you PAY for the revisions?? Shameful.

17 weeks after last revision surgery with Dr. W. John Bull

Madamesol
I am still not seeing good progress. My stomach still looks uneven, the skin looks very wrinkled and bumpy. My left breast still hurts. I am unhappy with my results and very depressed. This has been hard for me physically and emotionally. I communicated this to Dr. Bull just to early in the month at 4 months post last revision get a letter saying that he drops me as his patient.

Please be aware that when things go wrong like sadly in my case, he gives no after care and will drop you to your fate.

I never received an apology, or words on how to proceed to improve.

Wow is there anything you could do legally? Maybe at least get your money back to be able to go to someone else more reputable?

Dr. Bull's lawyer offered me very little money in July 2019 to errase my review, no interest on my well being and I didn't accepted. I hope this review help others and avoid them the suffering I am enduring from a now deformed body.

Letter from Dr. W.John Bull dropping me as a patient

Madamesol
Please be aware this can happen to you. I do not recommend his practice.

Attached is a copy of the letter I received. I am super depressed with the knowledge that I will have to hide my body for the rest of my life or until I am able to once again afford surgery and live with scars. This has been an nightmare. I now see that certified surgeons doesn't mean they have the skills. Please do your research in choosing a doctor, look a lot of pictures in their portfolio and ask to speak with some of their clients for referals.
