Finding a doctor that's performed tummy tuck on large amount of male patients?

Asked By:Jasweb1988 in Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey
I’m a 38-year-old, 5’ 10” male. In the start of 2022 I weighed 280 pounds, but I now weigh 167 pounds after several years of a caloric deficit weight loss. Because of my large weight loss I’ve been researching abdominoplasty surgery/surgeons in my area (The west New Jersey suburbs right outside of Philadelphia). The research I’ve done online says about 94% of tummy tucks are performed on females. Whenever I go to a doctor’s website the before and after photo section often shows up to a dozen examples of procedures performed on women, but I’m lucky to ever see more than one photo set of a male patient. The thing that worries me is that I don’t want to have the surgery performed by a physician that’s only performed a tummy tuck on a handful of male patients. I definitely want someone that done dozens, ideally at least fifty, procedures on men. I plan on using it as a weeding out factor. Which brings me to my situation: I want to be able to ask the physician how many tummy tucks they’ve performed on male patients, but I don’t want to have to set up dozens of consultations/appointments just to get to that question. That would waste a significant amount of time. How can I ask the doctor/physician group how many procedures they’ve performed on men prior to setting up a visit? Not sure about the best way to go about obtaining accurate info. Thanks in advance!
