Hi. Most of us PS are trained for this procedure. Look for a high skilled and experienced board certified PS, and ask him about his experience in this kind of procedures.In my 26 years of practice I had performed this procedures multiple times.

This is a very good question.  It's always important to see a board certified plastic surgeon.  I do approximately 40-50 panniculectomies per year and most come as referrals from the patient's bariatric surgeon.  Therefore, I think the best way to find an experienced plastic surgeon who does a lot of post bariatric body contouring would be to ask your local bariatric surgeon/clinic who they recommend.  This way you have a better chance of seeing a surgeon who regularly treats post bariatric patients.  Good luck.

Hello..... Well, I dont think I can help u exactly how to find, but if u consult a doctor then do ask him for his work on such patients in the past. That will give you an idea about the experience he has in such field. We do lot of cases in that direction by the way. You can inquire for such doctors according to the area you are interested to get operated in.
