I am a DS post-op patient looking into abdominoplasty for the removal

of excess skin. I am just beginning to educate myself on this

subject and have begun to look around for surgeons specializing in

this procedure in the New York City area.

One thing that concerns me is, I've been told that this surgery

leaves " pooches or pockets on the hips from where the incision

stops. This is often unsightly and is beginning to worry me more and

more. It seems to me that there might be some who are simply better

than others at solving or at least addressing this problem, not

unlike one tailor who is better at taking a tuck than another!

Any suggestions, information or guidelines you can help me with will

be appreciated.
