Hello and thank you for your question. Thebest advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. It all depends on how severe your EDS is. Does is affect mostly your joints or skin? Make sure youspecifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who havehad this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate theirresults.
