The Botched Docs Create a Belly Button After a Patient's Traumatic 'Frankenstein' Tummy Tuck
Now, Maritza is ready to kick off her single life—but she needs a new stomach to fully feel confident. Maritza brought her daughter to a consultation with Dubrow and Nassif, and Dubrow especially was shocked at her situation.Maritza explained that her previous doctor performed liposuction on her abdomen before the tummy tuck, which Dubrow called "the classic F up."
"In general you shouldn't liposuction the lower stomach area before tummy tuck surgery because once you do that, then you're killing the primary blood supply that would allow the tummy tuck to heal," Dubrow stated in a confessional. Sure enough, Maritza's skin turned black after the first procedure and the doctor went back to cut off dead skin three times.
"You could put a fist in my stomach," Maritza admitted. She later received a skin graft due to her severe stomach indentation, but she lost her belly button along the way.
