A MUM claims she was butchered by a cosmetic surgeon and "left to rot" with oozing fist-sized holes in her tummy. When Victoria Michaels woke from the tummy tuck procedure, she said she was left in "excruciating pain" and the surgeon was nowhere to be seen. Victoria had hoped to wake up with her dream figure - but instead, she was confronted with a "horrendous" mutilated body.
The 30-year-old has slammed her doctor saying the woman "almost killed (her)" and gave her the "worst treatment ever" during what should have been a routine tummy tuck operation. She told The Sun: "The surgeon went on vacation and left while I was in that condition. "It really was hard to go through, and it looked horrendous.
When I brought that to their attention they just didn't care." Victoria, from New York, said she had raw "tomato red" skin with two gaping infected holes in her stomach. She explained how an infection was caused by a drain removal which she claimed "shouldn't have been done at that point".
A drain removal is a tube which takes away moisture from a wound after an operation. Victoria said: "It was very full still, and when you take a drain out before all the fluid is drained, you can create and trap infection. "That's exactly what happened, the doctor removed it, and it led to me being stuck with a wound vac which was the most excruciating pain of my life.
" Not only did the mum have to deal with the agony of the initial wounds, but her torment continued long after they had healed. Th.
