After loosing 90 lbs (naturally) I decided it was time to get a panniculectomy. With plenty of research and questions I found that it was right for me.

But found out a few months ago that he performed the tummy tuck on my sister in law who could not stop bragging about the dr, so I believe its fate that I choose him to help me. At the early age of 20 I had a horrble... Read more

I worked really hard and lost 135 lbs through diet and exercise...Zumba Fitness! I had such extensive skin and flab in my abdominal area that I was so out of proportion. It was discouraging to have worked so hard and still be left with excess skin and flab. I went to see Dr. Capek after... Read more
