Your Opinion About the Best LBL and Arm Lift Surgeons?

I've lost about 220 pounds and its time to start looking into reconstructive surgery.  I want to have a lower body lift, tummy tuck (with hernia repair) and an arm lift for starters.

In your opinion, who are the best surgeons for these procedures?  I happen to be on the West Coast (San Francisco Area) but would travel for the right doctor.

Thanks all!!!

Dr. John LoMonaco in Houston worked wonders on me with a lbl. I haven't had arm work yet, but plan to.

I love my results with Dr. Jason Leedy from Cleveland (affiliated with the Cleveland Clinic).  His website is www.drleedy.com.

 Hopefully we all think our own surgeons are the best, which is why we went to them.   Start interviewing surgeons.  You will be spending a lot of time with them afterwards so make sure you like them (or at least get along with them - can communicate well, etc).  Some will charge for consultations, some will not.  You can check to see what other people think about them on Ratemd.com.  I'm in Canada but have seen women from the States in Dr. Silverman's office in Ottawa.  Good luck.

Another vote for Dr. Timothy Katzen of Beverly Hills (although he's lacking the B.H. attitude). His speciality is post wls patients. On this website you can see how view the number of patients that give him high recommendations. He's wonderful.

Dr. Bernard Shuster in Hollywood, FL is first rate. Check out his profile and references on the OH site. He can do an online consult for out of town clients. Definitely worth a look and the trip.

I highly recommend Dr. Mehdi Mazaheri in Scottsdale, AZ. I have used him for LBL/Brachio/Thoracoplasty/BL and full thigh lift. I will add you as a friend so you can view my before and afters on my profile. Not only is he a double board certified surgeon, his expertise is with post weight loss patients. Besides how skilled he is, he is also a really great guy and has a wonderful staff who treat you like family. Hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
