I spent $5,500 on a tummy tuck to be left with love handles. I'm not fat. I'm a size 10. But having babies killed by stomach. I had a kangaroo mom pouch. I was recommended to him and trusted him. I even sent him a patient that also got a tummy tuck from him not long after me. But during surgery he took it upon himself to only suck out a little on the sides for fear I wouldn't have curves. One love handle is actually bigger than the other. I'm not even proportioned on each side. No matter how much weight I lose, my love handles stick out, again one side more than the other. I noticed his face when he saw me post op checking my sides and i knew he could see it too. After almost two years I went back to explain that I wasnt happy with the results bc though I'm flat, the love handles he left, makes me feel weird and they look so drastic, especially since one side is bigger than the other. He really made it clear at that appt that he did all he could and wasnt very nice about it. Oh and the fact that I waited so long was also an issue. I already felt like an idiot about it and honestly I was scared to even say anything. I was too dang nice to begin with when I should've just been real stern from the get go. I did send a 3rd person before I made up my mind to go see him again and she went for a consultation and didnt go back. Said she didn't like how he was with her either and didn't like how he was dipping snuff the entire time. Yes, does this. Spits it out in the garbage and all for you to see. He did quote me about $2900 to fix this but at this point, honestly, I just dont have it to spend. I was lucky that I won a great bonus for hard work I put in at work, and used that to pay for it, to now feel like I lost that. I left that last consultation with my concerns crying and he did tell me that I should first mentally feel good about my body first before he did anymore surgery or accept how I'm built etc. Well thanks, I thought that's what you helped to provide and WE PAY FOR IT ! You didn't mind taking my money. I feel cheated and hate that the only way to fix this, will be more surgery. More money. And now I'll be so worried bc I'm scared I'll get ripped off again. But it will not be by this Dr. I'm sure he will rejoice hearing that bc I can assure you he doesn't care. His staff is very friendly and willing to help. I will give him that. He's got a great STAFF ! That's it. I cant wear a dress or anything that fits too close to my hips bc of the love handles, without wearing spanks bc again I'm lop sided due to the uneven way he left me. This has been so depressing and I feel it has ruined my self esteem even more. Oh, be warned if you aren't skinny minny, he'll make sure to let you know that he prefers for you to get real fit, and he just likes to fix those little trouble areas. Sorry so lengthy but it's been on my mind a lot and it burns me alive to see others have success with their tummy tucks and I'm left lopp sided. ALL I WANTED SINCE HAVING MY FIRST BABY WAS A TUMMY TUCK. I knew I wouldn't get myself back 100%, but dang, would it have killed him to get rid of my love handles too? That was on his website that getting the love handles was part of the procedure.
