I've never heard of him before.  check online on the other plastic surgery sites. 

www.realself.com sometimes has recommendations for and against.

There are many talented doctors out of the country, but here are the points you want to consider and prepare for before travelling

1) You and your family have no significant legal protection outside the U.S.

2) Your health insurance may not be in effect if you have trouble 

3) You will need care once back home

4) Its nearly impossible to check credentials of overseas surgery facilities but Joint Commission International has a website of accredited hospitals.

I feel compelled to post on these questions because I routinely see patients (just like my own) who have issues many weeks after surgery that require their surgeons care.  Most doctors are unwilling to "inherit" other doctors problems, and here in Texas I personally know of a situation where the U.S. doctor and hospital were sued when rendering emergency care to a patient who had surgery out of the country.

This is the reality of the situation, and my goal is to promote patient safety, not berate other doctors.
