Question:
CA - Can anyone recommend a good plastic surgeon in Southern California?

I need excess skin removed from my thighs and stomach in addition to a butt and breast lift. Im really nervous about having this done as Ive seen the results of plastic surgery gone wrong. Can anyone recommend a good doctor who theyve used and were happy with the results? I dont know where to begin looking. I know how important it is to thoroughly research plastic surgeons.    — [Anonymous] (posted on June 3, 2001)

Dr. Susan Downey at USC University Hospital works with the Bariatric surgeons there. I've known a handful of very pleased patients who have had multiple reconstructive surgeries done by her. I was told she was featured on Discovery Health the other night, but I didn't see her. I am scheduled with her in July for abdominoplasty & breast reduction. 1-800-USC-CARE. Good luck to you! ---->>

I had abdominoplasty & brachioplasty w/Dr. Scott Miller in La Jolla, CA. His number is 858-453-3133. He is a member of the American Board of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery and does incredible work. I researched SEVERAL surgeons in the San Diego area before going with him. I can't recommend him highly enough. My arms are gorgeous as is my abdoment after getting 7 lbs. of skin/excess tissue removed and everything tightened up. The scar lines are literally PENCIL thin and fading fast. And for those who cannot get insurance approval to get their reconstructive surgeries covered, his office offers financing through the Point Loma Credit Union, Sharper Image Program. His Coordinator, Betsy, can explain all the details if you give them a call. Good luck!
