I have a friend that is a nurse and she said that she knows a group of doctors that will do it for free and then donate your skin to burn victims. I didnt get anymore details than that because I am a ways off for getting it done. Anyways might be worth checking into.
I used Dr. Carter on Dec. 17th and I am very happy. I too did not get to see him on my post op, he was out of town this week. It did not bother me though, I have had no problems whatsoever. My scars are also alot smaller than other pictures I have seen here so thats a plus. Ive lost 22lb and I can fit in clothes that havent fit for about a year so everything is pretty cool.
