Looking for a Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to Do Tummy Tuck and Non-traditional Lipo in Vancouver, BC or Seattle

I need a tummy tuck and lipo (tumescent,ultrasound,smartlipo, etc.) of my luv handles and back area especially for my back / bra rolls. I am a very healthy, non-smoker, 2 months PP (not breastfeeding), 5'3" and currently 117 lbs. I am looking to have surgery in Feb or Mar. I want a doc who offers their patients a pain relief pump postop. I have been doing extensive research and some say a TT is worse than childbirth!! OUCH! Any recommendations anyone???? I am willing to drive to Seattle.

Tummy tucks in Seattle

I applaud your research efforts into tummy tucks. I am in the Seattle/Bellevue area and do a substantial number of tummy tucks.

Tummy tuck

Certainly a tummy tuck and liposuction can be done at the same time. A double board certified doctor can mean anything. You want a board certified plastic surgeon to do your surgery.
