I Want to Find a Doctor Who Specializes in Men for Body Lift?
My son has lost 340 lbs. He went from 578 to 240 pounds. He needs a body lift, chest lift and thigh lift. How can I find a doctor who has worked on men who have lost such a massive amount of weight?

Body lift surgery in Men
Body lift surgery is done most commonly for massive weight loss patients, and men are no exception. You can start by asking around in your community or go to the website at ASPS or ASAPS for local names. Good luck.

Body lift doctors
Congratulations to your son for saving his life! Body lifting is a specific subspecialty of plastic surgery and those who do it do both men and women. So I wouldn't limit your search to just ones for men but for ones who specialize in body lifts in general. Not much difference between men and women here other than breasts.

Plastic Surgeon Specializing in Body Contouring after Massive Weight Loss in Males
In general, body contouring specialists do not limit their practice to specifically men. If you find a plastic surgeon who does these lifts on a regular basis and does hundreds of body contouring procedures each year, this would be a good start. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
