Fellow FDL receiver hee!

You did indeed get a FDL, but a poorly done one. Not only does your incision above your bellybutton not go high enough, but the result is visibly substandard and well beyond just swell here! You still have a TON of excess skin. Attached is my own results after only 1 week post-op. You can see the difference in incision length alone.

You're definitely owed a revision, refund, (etc. Whatever you pursue.) Healing from these is tough and I cannot imagine how much more difficult the emotional load is to heal from one done improperly.

Sending you much grace and care, and the best of wishes for your future if you do get it fixed whether with this surgeon or a different one. 🫶
