That depends on what type of surgery you are looking for. In my experience each Doctor tends to be good at one or two things - even though they may do many like, lipo-facelifts-TT & Boobs. It doesn't mean they are great at all of them.

As far as eyes, face & TT - I have 3 Excellent Doctors here in Michigan for you. My family has used them. Plus you'll be able to recover in private at "Spa Christina's" for free :0)

If its something specific let me know & I'll do a little research for you. The best place for research is to walk around my Mon's Country Club- they all have had something done at one time or another. Proof is always in the pudding, so I like to see the work in person. Let me know.

Penni when you find out info on your arms. let me know, I'm seriously thinking of doing my arms, the rest I can live with but my arms need some serious help

I got a customer at work who had the bypass andis having her arms done in November, I will get the info from her. It's funny I just spoke to her today inquiring about the arms

Yeah I will let you know what I find out and you let me know what you find out. LOL! My main concern is the scar left. What does it look like? LOL!!

I figure that I can hide a scar with clothes, and look after it really well so it heals up nicely, but nothing can hide the dangling wobbly hanging bits :)

But atm, of course, this is all still a distant dream......

Info about brachioplasty (arm lifts) http://www.infoplasticsurgery.com/armlift.html

If scars are main concerns, read this new technique http://www.aboardcertifiedplasticsurgeonresource.com/brachioplasty/minimal-incison.html

Informational links only, I do not know anything about any of these surgeons.... I have been doing some research on this too.

I LOVE my plastic surgeon! He did just what I wanted on my eyes. He COULD have made the lines even less under my eyes but I told him to be conservative because I wanted my eyes to match the rest of my face. The biggest problem I have seen many people I know have w/ PS is they do TOO MUCH. My bro's fiance got a boob job and told her surgeon she didn't want to be big--just big enough so clothes and swimsuits would fit better (she very thin & was flat). Well he gave her a D cup which just look ridiculous. She's not happy w/ them at all.

Anyway, my doctor is Doctor Doezie and he works out of Mission Viejo & Newport. His office number is 949-645-3333. He does a LOT of reconstructive surgeries from car accidents and such so he's really more of a "serious" PS versus just the cosmetic.

He was so supportive of me when I had my eyes done. He even CAME TO MY HOUSE to take out the stitches because I had foot surgery 2 days later and couldn't walk. Didn't even charge extra for that.

In fact, I'm getting IPL done on my face & arms in his office in Mission Viejo on Monday. (Not by Doctor Doezie himself, a nurse trained in that does it.) I did go to another place just to check prices and his office was $300 less per area than the other. (IPL reduces age spots and fine lines w/ no down time... I'll let you know how I like it.)

The surgery center where the operation is performed is right by Hoag Hospital in Newport which is near my house in Costa Mesa. If you live far away and need to stay somewhere the first night after sugery (you really don't want to drive very far the first day) I will be happy to put up a fellow bandster & nurse and comisserate with you for a night. If it's a weekend you can stay...but a weekday I have to go to work and you should have someone nearby for at least couple days after PS. (I have an extra room & bed unless it's school vacation time.)

So tell Doctor Doezie that Kare (PM for my last name) sent you, but maybe you should just tell him you know me from a weightloss online forum. I haven't told him about my lapband surgery. I'm pretty sure he would not approve of me going to Mexico for surgery!

Good luck!

I'm having a consult for arms, belly, chin & thighs. There are 2 guys in Vegas that both do amazing work. One doc is in my office complex and I've been doing free notary service to him for years, so he said he'd work out a great discount, but I'm curious what everyone's paying? As far as scars, I'd rather have scars than flab flapping in the wind any more!

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

      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! 😞
