Who is the first doctor i should see when considering abdominoplasty?

Plastic surgeon: Great question! in some situations, a gynecologist or general surgeon may also be a part of the consultation team but for the most part this procedure is primarily performed by board certified plastic surgeons. This ensures oversight by other members of our society. Other issues which may be considered are the possibility of hernia surgery once your ideal body weight has been achieved.

Plastic Surgeon: You should see a board certified plastic surgeon. There are many other doctors who may offer a tummy tuck, but don't have the same training and certification. You can find one in your area at www.Plasticsurgery.Org.

Plastic Surgeon: This operation is a routine part of plastic surgery training. See a board-certified plastic surgeon who has before & after photos that you like.

Abdominoplasty : The only type of physician you should see is someone who is certified by the american board of p, attic surgery. In addition membership in the american society of plastic surgeons is also an excellent way to check credentials.

Plastic Surgeon: It can be a very powerful operation. It's for those folks with extra skin and soft tissue. Many who have lost weight and have extra skin want the excess taken away. Some just want to fit into pants better. See a board certified plastic surgeon. He/she will evaluate you. If you need clearance or other evaluations/interventions they will refer you to them.

Plastic Surgeon: This is not an operation you want to have done by someone who has not had formal training in plastic surgery. In my area there are gynecologists, dermatologists and even a urologist performing tummy tucks (witch hazel). Make sure you are seen by a plastic surgeon.

Plastic Surgeon: Abdominoplasty is a surgery that is best left to the hands of an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon. While other types of physicians may perform the procedure. Plastic surgeons receive extensive training in this type of care.

Plastic Surgeon: Best to seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience/safety records achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Ask to see lots of examples of before and after pictures and talk to previous patients as well. Best wishes.
