MA ps consults scheduled
I have 4 plastic surgery consults scheduled in a couple of weeks. All of them are experienced with the special problems of plastic surgery after major weight loss. The first is Dr Loverme in Wellesley. His before and afters are beautiful and well respected. He does some surgeries in his own surgical suite and also uses Newton Wellesley Hospital. Second is Dr Johanthan Hall who was voted by World News as one of the top plastic surgeons in the country. He is based in Stoneham. The third is Amy Colwell from MGH whose work I have seen on Utube and she has written papers about special considerations in surgery on post weight loss patients. Lastly I have an appointment with the residency program through MGH. The meeting with them lasts 4 hours and you meet with a bunch of residents and attendings who look you over, discuss what you want done, take pictures and then they go off to discuss if my case is something they are willing to take. I'll find out the same day.
They all charge consultation fees ranging from $75 to $125 with only one being taken off the surgical fee if I decide to use them for my surgery. I'll post my experience as I go along and am happy to answer any questions. I wasn't able to find much on Plastic surgery experiences here in MA so hope my experiences are helpful to someone else.
Happy to be starting this exciting experience.

Hi Paula! Congrats on your amazing loss and please do update us on how your consults go! I will (eventually) be looking in PS and have also read about some of the physicians you mention. Hope all goes well for you!

Paula,
I live in the Boston area too...on the New Hampshire border. I have lost 85 pounds, and I am about 15 pounds away from my goal. Between my weight loss and 3 pregnancies, I have a lot of loose skin.
I have had consults with both Dr. Colwell and Dr. Hall, and I decided to book my lower body lift (TT, BL, and inner thigh lift), and breast lift with Dr. Colwell. I felt that she was more familiar with patients that have lost a lot of weight and dealing with a lot of excess skin. My surgery is scheduled for August 10th. I am both excited and nervous.
I look forward to hearing who you choose.
