Dr Marcus Peterson-Plastic Surgeon A botched and infectious Panniculectomy Surgery & Never took Responsibility Internet
Report Attachments
I went to Dr Peterson after I lost alot of weight and he suggested a Panniculectomy.Surgery was done but it got very infected.It was on a weeked and I couldnt reach him so I emailed him, because I didnt want to interrupt his weekend.I sent him pictures of the infected site and all he could say was-well we will maybe have to see you more, put gauze on it and you will be fine.He never even called to check up on me,3 days went by and I kept calling and emiling and all he would do was email me, the idiot wouldnt even get on the phone.I ended up in the Emergency room with 104 ever, the surgical site was so infected, it looked like a football.Mind you I sent the Dr pictures of this.The Emergency room had to lance the site and I went home with antibiotics.The next day this idiot Dr EMAILS me, he doesnt even call and says to come in, he will be happy to take care of it.Of course I had some nasty choice words for him and fired him.I told him I want my records and the pics he took for the insurance.Here is the other thing, another Dr looked at it and said he didnt do the Paniniculectomy right,he pulled up the skin on my vaginal area so tight, when I urinate, it goes all over. I am sorry to be descriptive but people need to know. Come to find out the infection was way deeper and I have had to go to the wound clinic every day to have it cleaned and packed.This will go on every day for another 8 weeks.My stomach now looks like a triangle and I will have to pay to have it redone.This guy wouldnt release my records, it took 4 weeks and a threat of an attorney and lawsuit before they came to my house.I am so depressed and disgusted. I am 55 years old and wanted to do something nice for myself and this was the result. Please, please do not go to this guy or contact me as proof.

A Panniculectomy surgery is done for those patients that are not good candidates for a tummy tuck, which is a more complete and aesthetic procedure. Patients with high BMI who have problems with an abdominal pannus can get some functional improvement by removing the pannus. Because of the high BMI there are more risks to healing. Final results are dependant upon compliance with the instructions given during the healing time period.
After a complete review by the state licensing board, which included a review by an independent plastic surgeon, no cause for futher action was found and the case was closed. The reviewer said they saw no problems with the care of the surgeon and the case was closed.
