My horrible results from my procedures

Body Contouring

I was promised Aesthetic Results from a Lipo 360, Abdominoplasty, and Gynocomastia surgery. these are my results 10 months after the procedure, should I be furious?? Corrective surgery was not offered. I do not know where to even turn anymore, no attorney wants to take my case even though I have 3 key points to prove my surgeons negligence. I want input from the surgeons of this community.
