Looking for surgeons in the San Diego area that are familiar with Ehlers danlos syndrome (i have a mild case in comparison to others). Yes i heal slowly, but I’m covered in tattoos (full sleeves, leg tattoo, tops of feet, ankles, back, shoulders) and had no issues with healing. Skin involvement is minimal. Mostly joint stability issues. What’s the best approach? Who do i go to?

Answer: EDS I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Ehlers-Danlos Breast Augmentation Prior to your procedure, planning is important. The subtype of Ehlers-Danlos (E-D) and penetrance / expression, skin fragility, bleeding history, affected joints, healing after previous injury/surgery, and other factors should be considered. The type and size of implants and your existing chest anatomy should be evaluated. When your risk of E-D related problems has been analyzed, your procedure can be planned to maximize your chances for safety and success.
