This review is long overdue since it has been 3 yrs. since my surgery. I had abdominoplasty surgery, butt grafting and liposuction. I have had problems from day one of my surgery and the problems continue until this day. The 1st week that Dr. Mo pulled out my drainage tubes there was an infection. While I was in the office I ran into the anesthesiologist and we got to talking and he said he didn’t know I had an autoimmune disease. I discussed this with the Dr. Mo thoroughly because I was not sure it would be safe to forego surgery. The anesthesiologist was shocked he didn’t know and it could have turned into a real problem during surgery.
I do not have a belly button anymore and the scar that should be my belly button is about 2 inches higher than it should be. I have a huge crease or ledge on my lower back instead of a contoured lower back which is what I was told I would have. There is too much fat in the upper region of my butt. I cannot wear half of my clothes because of the ledge. I have dog ears on my incision which is excess tissue that protrudes at the ends of an incision and should be easy to correct, but that didn’t happen. This often occurs because the incision was not taken from hip to hip. He cut them off, somewhat but they have come back bigger than before. Whether taking out my tubes, or cutting off my dog ears it was always done very abruptly and painfully.
With all these problems, severe pain, infections, I was continually told to go elsewhere for treatment instead of him taking responsibility to correct his errors. There were never any answers as to why I was experiencing the pain or results that I was experiencing. I would come into his office crying because of pain or fear of what I was going through and Dr. Mo would tell me to get a grip and change my attitude. It was like I was the one causing my problems because of my attitude. It was like I was the one causing my problems because of my attitude. I came in one time with a horrible infection and he said he never had seen anything like it before. My personal doctor couldn’t believe that was his response. It needed to be treated immediately. That was the last time I saw Dr. Mo.
I have had every test, x-rays, consults imaginable and still am having infections, pain and bad results. The only way to correct this is to have the surgery redone. My body was certainly better before the surgery. As a patient, we are held responsible for our part therefore, the doctor should be responsible for their part. If something is not the way they say it is going to be they should correct it. It’s awful not to get the results we are promised. We have to learn to live with our mistakes.
