Good surgeons in the Austin, TX area?
Hello! I'm in the Austin area and would like to find a "reputable" plastic surgeon who is vetted working with post WLS patients.
I will probably only have bracchio and panni done IF I can get them covered through insurance. I am in serious need of a butt lift (whatever the terminology is for that!) but doubt that could be covered. My ass has slid right down the back of my legs since my weight loss! LOL
Anyhow, thanks for your input. I know I see plenty of plastic surgeons in this area but I'm more interested in who does a really good job!

Darcy,
Dr. L is Dr. LoMonaco - he has an wonderful reputation and several folks from Obesity Help have had their plastics done by him. He's a frequent poster on this forum who very willingly shares his knowledge with all of us, plus he co-authored an excellent book with my plastic surgeon, Dr. Krieger ("Bariatric Plastic Surgery: A Guide to Cosmetic Surgery After Weight Loss").
Hope that helps,
Debby

I had a lower body lift and breast lift with Dr. L a year ago. I live in the New Braunfels area, and I decided to go to the best around! Dr. L is amazing at what he does! Be aware that if you do decide to go to him, you will need to pay for room and board for two weeks while you recover, but I couldn't reccomend him more! Good luck!
I'm also a big fan of Dr.LoMonaco. He's the best. And Houston is not that far from Austin. I'm having a lower body lift and breast lift at the end of the month with Dr. L.
