I've had multiple reconstructive surgeries - at one place, unknown students didn't place anchoring sutures in the groin with the result being my labia were 3 linches outside my panty elastic and very painful; next place did 3.5 hrs but had me under general for 9.5 outside a hospital and did one layer of sutures, so everything fell; current guy did a horseshoe like incision (instead of the 360) so when it migrated outwards 4 inches it also created the same amount of new bag/sag on the legs, thighs, and butt that had not been there before. he contracted for 2 surgeons, introduced me to the other in pre-op, but only one operated on me. he wants me to accept the person who bailed on me in future surgery. I feel stuck with him, he said doing the arms was 'easy', but had a unique cutting angle outwards from a mid-arm pivot point so below that there is new bulk that it is doubtful could be removed unless i agree to a full arm incision - which he knew going in was not an option. Because he 'forgot' to remove the prior docs scars, i had to have another trip to the OR to lift the breasts, but they fell and are worse now.

Please help me, I don't know what to do, I cry everyday, I can't go into stores to try on clothes because looking at this is so hurtful. every step hurts with the labia still not in the normal place. i am frantic.

despite all this, i have maintained my 100+ pound loss over 6yrs...i now have no interest in food.

Well first off congrats on maintaining your weight loss. :)

Second of all (((Hugs))). Do they have medical malpractice laws in Canada?

Well if you want the same Dr. operating on you I wouldn't suggest legal action. But legal action might get your $ back so you could go to a different PS. You don't deserve this but I am not sure I'd have the same PS still working on me regardless. I am sorry! Good l uck.

I'm so sorry to hear what you have gone through...what a nightmare.  My only suggestion would be WALK AWAY from that doctor and find a VERY reputable, board certified surgeon who specializes in this kind of plastic surgery and see if they can finally get you fixed for good!  Good luck to you!

 Wow, I would feel the same way as you...I agree with others here, that you should NOT go back to the same place, look for a reputable surgeon who has experience with revisions and get the ps done correctly..all this if you have the funds to do so, if not, I'd definitely think twice about legal action to make sure you get compensated so that you can go to someone else!!! I think the experience you have had with this surgeon speaks for itself as far as giving him any more "chances". It is my experience that if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck....Don't give this guy another opportunity to do you more harm.....Best of luck .......

OK first off WOW I am sooo sorry you had to go through that. OK here in the US our doctors pay a  lot of money to cover them in the event something like this happens. In addition, our doctors make more money than most other doctors in the world.

With that being said, you in NO Way should have to shell out one more penny. You need to talk to the doctor about reimbursing you your money. You  will then be able to hopefully move onto a doctor who specializes in botched plastic surgeries.

This doctor is ignorant, and will most likely not be practicing for that much longer. With that being said, "NO WAY, NO WAY, NO WAY" should you trust even your pet with that doctor.  If you do have another surgery with him or his friend you will most likely get the same terrible result.

I am saddened to hear about this. Please be active, save other women from having to suffer like you have. If that means having to sue the crap out of them, for not reimbursing you... so be it!!! And please inform the Medical Boards no matter what the out come. I am disgusted what a POS.
