plastic surgeons in california

Hi Girlfriends:

I am starting to research plastic surgeons in my area (greater los angeles) . I would sure appreciate some suggestions or referrals, much prefer word of mouth recommendations than just picking someone out of the yellow pages or off the internet. Of course a surgeon who specializes in post bariatric weight loss patients. Thanks in advance for any help!

 Hi Robyn!  Congrats on your next journey.  I'm 1 week post op from my Tummy Tuck.  I had my procedure at Providence Saint Joseph's in Burbank by Dr. Berger.  He's located in Encino and I can't say enough great things about him and his staff!

 Hi Robyn --

My first suggestion is that you get referrals from the person who did you WLS --

My doctor was Aboolian, and he and his staff are (and were, and will certainly continue to be) amazing.

In our part of town, another doctor who does almost entirely WLS patients is Katzen, his name came up a few days ago and check these threads below.

There are many, many wonderful plastic surgeons in the greater LA area.  But I always feel that the best bet is to check first iwth the people recommended by your doctor, and to interview and research a lot of people.

Consult, consult, consult.



ETA:  I asked this question a few days ago, or something like it -- There are many wonderful surgeons who came up in THIS THREAD.  Good luck!  You may have to read through a bit to find it!

Hi, Robyn!

I responded to your cross post on the Main board.

Good luck!

 Hi Robyn,

I wrote a couple of days ago about Dr. Timothy Katzen. He's amazing and specializes in post WLS patients. 

I can't say enough about him. I also had a couple of referrals with Dr. Aboolian and I would have possibly chosen his fees were over twice as much as Dr. Katzen.

I suggest having several consultations. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about my experiences with Dr. Katzen.
