Should I expect to be able to find a plastic surgeon who can do face alift nd neck lift that can also do body work ((tummy tuck/arm lift/ thigh lift)? Or should I look for specialist face vs body? Should I expect the same plastic surgeon that does tummy tuck to do arm lift? I would like to find one awesome surgeon but I don’t know if that is realistic.
Answer: It is possible Dear Susantomfoolery, thank you for your question!

Answer: Yes, but you should do your research Hello and thank you for your question. In short- every surgeon's practice is different. These days, due to how saturated most cities are with plastic surgeons and the resulting competition, many surgeons have been forced to super-specialize in just a particular area of the body or small handful of procedures to make a name for themselves. Of course, everything comes down to their training and comfort level with a particular procedure or set of procedures. Often surgeons will focus on just face procedures or just body procedures, so it is reasonable to assume that the same surgeon can perform your tummy tuck and arm lift and thigh lift.

Answer: Face and Body? Depends on Who You Ask Of course a Plastic Surgeon who does both face and body can be good at both. Some of us are trained as General Plastic Surgeons and some as Facial Plastic Surgeons. But frequently, Surgeons gravitate toward what they like and are best at. I would advise that you see a Surgeon who does 80-100 facelifts a year or more. More importantly, make sure that you like the individual Surgeon's work (at least 20 examples), ask to see patients in different decades that the Surgeon has operated on, make sure that you like his/her demeanor, the way the staff treat you, and ask to speak to former patients.

Answer: Yes There are plastic surgeons who can perform multiple facial and body procedure with above average results. You will have to look carefully to find such a surgeon. However, it is also quite acceptable to do these procedure with different surgeons, depending how you feel about particular surgeon(s). And, of course, some of these procedures can be combined and done in the same setting. Good luck.

Answer: One surgeon for multiple body areas Many surgeons are facile and quite skilled in many different types of surgery. Contrary to the beliefs of many (and marketing of some surgeons!), a single surgeon can do both face and body. Ask to see before and after photos of their work to get the best sense of their abilities and interests. I regularly do surgery of the face, breast, and body. I am aware of my strengths and of my limitations and if I do not feel I would be able to give the best result possible I would refer my patient to someone who could.
