Plastic Surgery is not an alternative to losing weight. I prefer to approach body contouring as surgical sculpting. With weight loss, you cannot pick where the fat comes from nor where it goes on. That makes weight loss a coarse tool. I prefer to use a coarser tool first and the Plastic Surgery for refinement.
After Weight Loss plastic surgery has much to offer. Learning about the global issues, compromises, risks, benefits, and timing are part of a good surgeon's patient education.
