Might I suggest you take a look at my surgeon, Dr. Timothy Katzen. Board certification can and should be key, but does not necessarily imply the "necessary skill sets" to address the needed specialization REQURED for the UNIQUE challenges we post-op WLS patients present with reconstructively, and are accomplished in a safe judicious manner. This is not to say he wont be very receptive to your individual needs and tailor them accordingly, but his practice and specialization consisting of above 95 % post WLS patients will address your needs in ways unlikely seen with other board certified practitioners.

Additionally, unlike so many other board certified practitioners, both he and his staff work very hard to see that your insurer might well cover some of what you might be seeking and might be eligible for. 

Until not that long ago he used to have an office in Hawaiian Gardens likely near you and still gives seminars there as recently as last July- 

Tri City Medical Center's Medical Office Building (MOB)
21530 S. Pioneer Blvd. (2nd floor of MOB)
Hawaiian Gardens, CA 90716

Please see the following below from his site:

"Dr. Timothy Katzen made plastic surgery after weight loss the entire focus of his practice.  He has performed thousands of post weight loss procedures.  Most of his patients have had bariatric surgery, such as, gastric bypass or lap banding; however, approximately 30% have lost significant weight through diet and exercise alone. We offer the following services:  Circumferential body lift, breast lift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, arm lift (brachioplasty), leg lift, thigh lift, torsoplasty, face lift, neck lift, liposuction, and many more.

Dr. Katzen, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, is an internationally recognized leader in the field of reconstructive plastic surgery after weight loss.   He has lectured throughout the world on his innovative Powerlift or circumferential bodylift.  He has written and published many articles and book chapters.  He has lectured on radio and the internet about plastic surgery after massive weight loss.  In addition, he has appeared on many television shows and most television networks discussing plastic surgery after massive weight loss.

Dr. Katzen is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
We accept all PPO insurances with authorization.

Unsure what procedures you are seeking, but If I can be of any help please feel free to contact me via PM or here on the forum. I'm an old naval medic who used to first assist on a number of maxillofacial reconstructive procedures.

Good luck on this your quest,
