Any Canadians have issues with plastic surgeons and their work?



Recommended Posts

Hi there, I had a lower body lift in August last year and although I am happy to not have the apron of skin anymore, the surgeon promised a much better job then performed. Anyone have experience dealing with either trying to get a revision or seeking legal advise, or even suing??

I have handfuls of skin left over and a deformed bum. I have went to other surgeons who all day I need a new TT or even a whole new LBL!!

Surgeon Dr Kara, Whitby Ontario - do not go there!! - said he can redo the Fleur TT for another $6000!! I already paid him $17,500. I told them that is not acceptable and they will need to provide another option. They were going to get back to me today. I have a free consult with a personal injury lawyer on Thursday.

Any tips or help in this area will be much appreciated.

Is is possible that the LBL was done when you still were not at goal?

I know ppl who had A LOT of skin and not much fat a TT removed the tummy. I find unbelievable that they want to charge other 6,000 after all you had paid. I suggest check to a lawyer and explore the possibility to suing them. Best of luck!

Thank you. I’m still getting no where with his office. They did send me my OR report which shows, from what I can see, they did not do any Lipo on abdomen and flanks as was part of the procedure. They have yet to comment on that!
Spoke with a couple law offices and all said it would be hard to fight. But one actually took some interest and asked to see photos. Spoke with them for 30 minutes on Thursday and they will be reviewing everything and getting back to me.
Such a frustrating position to be in :(

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
