I went to Dr Haas for a tummy tuck with lipo. I'd had 3 children & it stretched my stomach. This was the worst decision I could have made. His staff were always pleasant, so my intention is not to bash but this is my truth. I had my tummy tuck done around 2009 by Dr Haas. I had to have 3 additional surgeries per this doctor's recommendation, each costing me additional money. I sought other surgeons before having to go back to him because no surgeon in the Louisville area was willing to work behind his work within that year. After the initial tummy tuck, there were fat pockets in my abdomen & love handles on my flanks, which all were supposed to be lipo'd. After asking about this in my follow up appointments, he suggested I had to go in for additional lipo to make my body look even, as well as a third surgery, per his advise, to have the "extra skin" removed around my back. To give a visual, his solution was to literally do an additional "tummy tuck" on my back and I agreed to his advise. Seeing the surgeries today, I live to regret that advise I took from him. I was 150lbs at the time of my surgery. I was not a big girl. I now have a scar running the entire perimeter of my waist around my back. I did all of this under his advise, thinking he had experience & knew best. I shouldn't have been so trusting and did more research but I wanted what had been done incorrectly, to be corrected. I was young and impatient but I should have waited and gotten it corrected elsewhere. My naval is higher than a normal naval and the scar around my naval is so hideous that my young nieces & nephew's always ask me what's wrong with my stomach. I believe his advise was all to get more money. When it was all complete, I spent way more than what I was quoted. I agree with another reviewer when she said he cannot take criticism. When you question his advise, he appears to get annoyed, rushes through the answers and tries to talk fast & over what you are asking. If you are considering him for a tummy tuck, I would run FAST in the other direction. The money I spent with him, I could have went to a more expensive doctor & only had one surgery, done correctly the first time, and without this huge scar spanning my entire waist. I now live in Atlanta and I realize his incompetence in doing this procedure (tummy tuck) and I am in the process of getting his work corrected. He is a money hog. Don't let the nice office and location fool you!
