Calf Liposuction Doctor Recommendation Near Nebraska

I saw a surgeon perform Liposuction on a patient's calves. The results look fabulous! I am desperate to get someone to consult with me about my calves. None of the plastic surgeons in Nebraska will even discuss this with me saying I will get saggy calves. Please recommend any surgeon you know of in central US. I am willing to travel.

Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done. You... more
