Botched Tummy Tuck? Or weight regain?

This is very disturbing. I'm wondering if there was also weight regain involved in this situation. For the life of me, I can not imagine any surgeon leaving their patient to look like this. This is very bad.

Some of both, I'd think....poorly done surgery and regain.  Looks more like a panniculectomy was done versus a full abdominoplasty.

Awful.

I have been involved on plastic surgery forums daily for the last 7-mos and I have seen some patients' photos on RS that are truly disturbing, one even horrific. To say this is heart-breaking doesn't even begin to scratch the surface...

My iPhone Internet would not cooperate to let me watch the entire clip. That being said, there are PS that are more competenet than others. But there are ppl like me who do not smoke nor have diabetes and I still had wound healing issues. Of course wound healing and the abdominal waist in the video clip are worlds apart. I did read in ukdailymail recently of a botched tummy tick on a woman but I think she had travelled out of her home country.
Also sometimes one can only have done what their HMO will pay and accept the gift and "consequences" of their choice. I have to - but my abdomen is more or less flat.

I also say both. I am so thankful I had an awesome surgeon. It really does make a difference.

I know MBL is sick of me saying, but this is why I would Never go to anyone but a PS that specializes in post massives....the mons issue she has is common in post massives....you have to go to someone who knows how to properly correct our bodies...including that area...

That was hard to watch, only because that is EXACTLY how I look now. It has been over 2 years since my botched plastic surgery and it is still hard to deal with. And I just have an awful fear of going back into surgery to have it fixed. Not the way I thought that this would turn out.
