PLASTIC SURGEON
RECOMMENDED
Always ask if your plastic surgeon is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Note that any other word in place of “plastic” is not the same and usually indicates different training (e.g., cosmetic, aesthetic, facial cosmetic, etc.) Go to plasticsurgery.org to verify a doctor’s credentials and make sure that this doctor is an expert in the field you need him/her to be.
PLEASE GIVE A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR PRACTICE.

This often refers to a variety of breast, tummy and liposuction surgeries. Scar? The average tummy tuck scar is generally across the lower abdomen.
