Topic: RE: Plastics in Manhattan

I have heard of Dr Sterry, but don't know anyone who used him. It is well worth getting more than one consultation. All the Doctors were nice- they are trying to sell themselves.... but it was definitely an education and helped me make my choice.

One of the things I decided was I wanted someone who specializes in massive weight loss. The quality and quantity of our skin is different.

I did not in the end choose Dr Capella, but I know many people have been happy with him. He does do consultations in Manhattan, although he operates out of Hackensack Medical Center.

I chose Dr Michaels in DC and he was worth the trip. You can do a virtual or phone consultation with him.

I was 57 when I had my plastics. So worth it.

That kind of PS isn't really WLS specific, so you might be better off personally asking people in those geographic areas who have had some work done who they'd recommend. That is how I found my surgeon.

We are all in a rush for the final result. I think I messaged you before. Just because someone sais that they "can" do something, doesn't mean that it "should be done" or that you will recover well. It will not cost you more to break up the surgeries in two will it? If your surgeries are a certain amount then he pays for your flight and hotel. Why the rush, why the risk, why not give your body time to heal fully between procedures. I also would LOVE to have it all done at once, however, I do not want to put that extra burden on my immune system or my body

Hello, sorry for your trouble. Yes, with the connective tissue disorder, this will have some effect. However, I have also read that some people have to wear their compression garments for up to a year!

Thank you to all who take the time to share and give me advice.

Your best bet is probably to create an account and do some searching on www.realself.com. There's really only a couple surgeons that end up talked about here and I don't see a lot of posts about facelifts, so your answers may be sparse!
