Botched plastic surgery question

Has anyone has problems with plastic surgery gone wrong?  And after revision after revision, the same Dr just cant seem to fix his problem?  I had a body lift in 2004 (I think) my pubic area is totally deformed now.  I dont want him to keep cutting me open and it looks the same.  I have so much scar tissue, I feel like a monster and I am unsure what to do.  Do I contact my insurance company?  I have heard other Dr's wont want to touch me for liability reasons.  Im so depressed about this!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Vicky I am so sorry, I don't really have any advice other than I think there are some doctors out there that specialize in revision surgery but you may have to search.  Have you checked out some of the bigger PS websites like makemeheal.com?  You will probably find a lot more like experiences and advice there.  Best of luck.  Remember you are still you!

 The first call to the insurance company is just that -- a START.  Lots of starts don't go the way you want them to, it means you have to persevere and give things another shot, in a different way.  

There are doctors who post on this board -- I'm hoping one of them will chime in with advice.

Good luck!

Thank you.  I called the Insurance Company, they weren't much help except told me to see another Dr and have them submit for coverage.  I made an appt with another Dr for the 18th. 
I will keep you all updated!
