Tennessee Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck Doctor Recommendations
I have lost 105 lbs. with gastric bypass and now weigh about 117lbs. I would love to have Breast augmentation and a Tummy tuck. I also would like to have excess skin removed from my arms but I am afraid of the scarring on the arms.
I live in Tennessee and would like to go to a reputable surgeon that would offer financing plans. Any ideas?

Financing surgeries.
Congratulations on your major achievement! When checking for a good surgeon, make sure he or she is board certified. Ask to see before and after photos. Remember not all offices will offer financing plans, however, most accept 3rd party financing such as care credit. These are health care credit cards with potentially low interest rates and extended payment plans.

Do your homework in selecting a good plastic surgeon
Finding a good plastic surgeon, in any region of the country, can be a challenging task. Ask friends and other trusted individuals such as your personal physician for a recommendation. Do your homework and select a plastic surgeon that you will be comfortable with. Keep in mind that problems arise with any procedure and it is always good to be close to your surgeon. Follow up visits can be frequent especially in the first few weeks following the operation.
