Looking for plastic surgeons in Washington, DC!
Hi OH friends - here is my first PS post and i am so excited!!! I have done all the research I could about the best plastic surgeons in DC but I thought I would ask here, to the people who truly know and may have experienced to share. I have my first consult in late October with a doctor who claims to specialize in body contouring after major weight loss. I am leaning towards a tummy tuck, arms, and breast lift AND implants. Anyway I wanted to just throw this out there in case anyone has an incredible experience with a DC based plastic surgeon. Thanks! I've been lurking this board for months and I am just ecstatic to be able to start considering my procedures!
Hey Em,
I obviously don't know any PS in DC, but how exciting to start this process!!!! I hope you find a great surgeon, and keep us posted. When I eventually get to plastics I think I'll need a TT, breast lift and arms too. It's crazy to think about. Anyways, just wanted to say good luck with the start of this journey!
If I decide to do plastics in two-three years, I keep thinking that Capella seems worth the drive. Only 4 hours or so for us!

Hey Gwen - I have definitely considered it! I just don't know if I can face a 4 hour drive home after plastics. I found one woman in DC who specializes in post weight loss surgery supposedly. I am going to a consultation with her in a few weeks. I want to talk to a few doctors. My boobs are my main priority and then arms :)
I just had those three things done. They discourage an implant and lift at the same time after weight loss due to the condition of the skin.
I highly recommend the drive to Durham NC to Duke and talk to Dr. Erdmann. You can come stay with me - he specializes in post weight loss plastics. The consult is only $50. Very reasonable prices.

Dr Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico is fantastic. We have a group here on OH, click on Dr Sauceda in my siggy line.
I had a lower body lift, breast lift, arms and sm thigh lift, and then a full neck & face lift including upper and lower eyes 4 days after my body work. I was in Monterrey for 2 weeks.
You are at the 24/7 clinic with nursing care until you can manage at the hotel. While at the hotel, and RN comes daily to help you shower and get back into your garments. Dr S visits most days also.
