Everyone’s got a budget in mind going into plastic surgery, which is totally cool. But picking a questionable tummy tuck surgeon who offers a dirt cheap price is probably going to end up costing you a whole lot more in the long run—maybe even your belly button.
Really, Your Belly Button Could Explode
Take it from one UK woman, who opted for a tummy tuck from an apparently unqualified and very dishonest plastic surgeon. First, she ended up without any belly button at all, since her doctor said she didn’t have enough leftover tissue to create one.
As if that weren’t bad enough, this poor woman found herself sitting on a plane heading for what she thought would be a relaxing vacation, only to have her original belly button explode inside her.
That’s right, the quack plastic surgeon mistakenly left her old belly button inside her, stitched her up and sent her on her way. That tissue started to break down and rupture while stuck inside her stomach.
Ask about financing options if you’re having trouble affording cosmetic surgery. Don’t cheap out.
You Get What You Pay For
This lady’s story might sound like a fluke exaggeration of possible belly button issues after a tummy tuck, but the sad truth is that this probably isn’t even the worst. People continue to have serious medical problems, and some even lose their lives, thanks to botched plastic surgery jobs.
To avoid such problems, please, for the love of belly buttons, pick a board-certified plastic surgeon who knows what the heck they’re doing.
