Quote From: sabres44In all honesty....if I was to ever have plastic surgery (which I doubt very much I would do), having seen Dr. Adams on TV hosting a show based on plastic surgery, I would assume he was a competent, board certified surgeon, and probably would have been very trustworthy of him. Surgery of any kind comes with risks, but I will admit, just from watching him on TV alone, and hearing him speak of surgery and the risks, I probably wouldnt have researched his credentials as much as I would for my own neighborhood doctor. Shame on me! And good thing I love myself the way I am!
I think this show was totally wrong. These were people that didn't investigate their dr or the office. They obviously didn't know the risks or the types of scars they could end up with. I had weight loss surgery and lost 232 lbs. I've had many of these surgeries. Some did well and some didn't. its not an exact science. Every one of them had issues that I was aware of before my surgery. FOr the one tha had weight loss surgery, you realy didn't do your homework. You have classic issues of people that have had these types of surgeries. I've had my arms done. Mine look about like yours...numbness is a risk. As to the lady that kept opening up...I know someone that had that problem. Its a risk. She should know the risks before allowing someone to cut into your body. As for location of the office...as long as they have the equipment etc...its very common now adays. I also know many send patients to hotels to save them money. I've had some very big surgeries and I spent barely any time in the hospital when I had them. I spent most on my own in a hotel. Maybe this dr has issues...but these were not really anything that would make me sure of it. Its typical and every plastic surgeon deals with them. I walked away from the show feeling like it was a bashing show and that these women wouldn't have been happy no matter what. If you don't like scars then you shouldnt get surgery. No one knows how they will heal till its done. I'm sorry they didn't have good experiences but all my scars aren't perfect either. Should I sue my dr also? No...because I did my homework and knew what could happen. I felt I could live with.
And anyone that has surgery with a surgeon they never met till 10 min before the surgery...you are crazy.
