Choose your lower body lift surgeon carefully

Jeffrey M. Darrow, MD answers: Lower Body Lift Doctor Recommendation

I am considering lower body lift after gastric bypass done in 1996. Can you suggest a surgeon? This will be a once in a lifetime procedure and I want to get done in 8/09. I also at least need guidelines (I know it depends on MD and locale) when I interview doctors. Thank you!

You must feel great after your weight reduction. Losing the excess skin can improve self image, and improve the fit and appearance in clothes. 

First, is to choose a board certified plastic surgeon with experiance in the post-bariatric patients, who knows how to sequence the procedures to maximize your results and who is current in not only the latest surgical techniques but the latest safety measures for your post operative care. 

Choosing wisely should help you achieve your goals in the safest manner possible.
