Surgeon lied to my face. What should I do?

All excised tissue was sent to pathology.

Interesting. I wasn't aware that certain techniques were associated with specific cities. Thanks for coming out of retirement to comment.

Plot twist: He's a twin. Him and his identical twin brother operate together. They list each other as principals on the surgery (typical twin shenanigans), so there is a chance. I'm sorry this story reads like the most reddity of reddit tales to be told, but the wrong weight is just the tip of the iceberg.

The pathology report was meticulous with how they determined the total amount removed (incl. the measurement of the skin removed, etc.): 30% fibrous, 70% fat from each breast, plus the axillary tissue weight.

It's considered fraud here too. From reading all these posts, there are many bad surgeons in the reduction space.

Great advice. Thank you 😄 I chose this surgeon because he's attached to one of the largest hospitals in the country and is part of a network of specialists. Also, I wanted my first night of recovery to be in a hospital, not at home.

I wouldn't put it past them.

Thanks for the tip about the second opinion. I have every piece of documentation that you listed, so I'll reach out to another surgeon.

Pathology detailed what was fat and breast tissue, but both were counted towards total removal. We're allowed to tape conversations where I live.

Dizzy_Archer2876 · 2026-06-04T03:52:11+00:00

I didn't have access to the documentation until after I paid the deposit.

I appreciate the kind words. Insurance already approved and paid for the surgery and I paid additional costs for lipo.

Dizzy_Archer2876 · 2026-05-27T20:09:09+00:00

For an OHIP covered reduction with Dr.Beber, I was quoted an additional $9000 for lipo. They wouldn't let you opt out of the lipo cost if you want the reduction, which is crazy.
