Plastic Surgeon in So. Cal



Recommended Posts

Hey all.

This isn't related to plastic surgery after banding, but I thought someone might have an idea.

My mom is looking for a surgeon in Southern California to do kind of a mini face lift, and some work around her eyes. There is someone she found in Orange County who does what she wants, but he's not a "board certified plastic surgeon" and she's a bit sceptic of that.

An info would be great, thanks!

Ok This is only my opinion in all the research I have done.

RUN!!!! Do not ever have plastic surgery by someone who is not board certified. They could be a normal Dr with no experience in plastics at all and call themselves a PS and operate. That is a scary thought. It is also her face. With that type of surgery you need to find a Dr that specialises in it. Some specialise in breasts etc but thats not good enough when it is your face and eyes. Tell her to research and research till she cant research no more :D Ask to see pics...lots and lots of them, ask to speak to patients who have had similiar surgery, do searches on them in google to check if they have been sued in the past, and MAKE SURE they are board certified.

Just my opinion :D

Tell her good luck...the eyes, lower or upper bleph can have some amazing results but can also go the other way with droopiness and too much white showing in the eyes, very important to find a surgeon who has performed hundreds of these types of procedures. Also tell her to ask the PS she sees if they specialise in scar minimisation because you dont want scars noticeable on your face.

I could go on and on but I will leave it there :D

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
