Body contour/Lipo & breast specialist in LA? 5'4", 115, 35 active. No kids. Can't find a Dr. who specializes in both.

Breast augmentation and body contouring are two of the most common procedures in a plastic surgeon's repertoire.  There are many board-certified plastic surgeons within the LA area who focus on these procedures and will do a good job.  Having said that, some surgeons are more experienced than others, some are technically more gifted than others, some are more artistic than others, some have a nicer personality and bedside manner than others, and some have a friendlier and more helpful staff.  You will need to visit several offices and do some research to find the surgeon you "click" with best and trust most.  I hope this helps!Thomas Taylor, MD, FACSPasadena, CA

In my practice my partner does breasts and i do hi def lipo and fat transfer at same time.  I suggest you find a VASER hi def body shaping speciliast.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Breast augmentation with liposuction in thinner patients is a common combination.  Look at before and after pictures on individual doctor's websites.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

An experienced plastic surgeon with liposuction and cosmetic breast surgery experience is not difficult to find in major metropolitan areas. Take a look at before and after photos and meet a few surgeons for consultations before making a decision. We are happy to see you here in Seattle.

You'll find a lot of Plastic Surgeons who specialize in both procedures since these are very common cosmetic procedures.  But another option is to find a doctor who specializes in lipo and another who specializes in breast and have them operate at the same time.  Feel free to call my office to discuss this option.  

Mag1981,I think its great you are doing your research. There are quite a few plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills that specialize in both. I certainly perform quite a bit of liposuction on my breast patients because it makes sense to do it the same time as long as its not an excessive amount of liposuction that needs to be performed. I hope this was helpful.Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions.Dr. Daniel BarrettPlastic SurgeryBeverly Hills, CA

Liposuction and breast augmentation are amongst the two most common procedures that board certified plastic surgeons perform.The best way to find a surgeon in the area you are looking at is to either use Google or go to the American Board of Plastic Surgery and look for a surgeon in your area.Good luck.

Hello,You are mistaken.  There are many ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in both breast and liposuction. In fact, some of us are expert in revision of these surgeries, a much more difficult task to perform well than the primary surgery.  Keep looking around!Best of luck!

There are many experienced doctors who would do both excellent breast and excellent body work, especially in a city like Los Angeles!If you don't feel confident yet in the surgeons you have interviewed, you may want to continue your search.Starting with board certified plastic surgeons, perhaps ASAPS members, is always a good start.

Thank you for your question and photo. Based on your description, and what I can make of your appearance from the photo provided, you appear to be a candidate for a breast augmentation and liposuction.  A lift +/- an implant will improve the appearance of your breasts and liposuction could be used to better define your abdomen, flanks and hips. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination to discuss the specific details of the procedures. Check the ASPS website to find a properly trained, board certified plastic surgeon to perform your surgery. Ask to see before and after photos to get an idea of what can be achieved. Hope this helps!
