Title: Questions about surgeons closer to home.
Post by: Achilleslastand on July 31, 2010, 01:50:47 am
Does anyone know of a surgeon that does  hump removal and/or silicone droplets in the dallas or houston area?
I was considering going to Dr Abrams but something closer to home would be much more conveinent{i live in oklahoma}.......Thanks

If you find a source for doctor recommendations by location, please share it here.    I live in SF, but do not know where to find first person recommendations.    I have contacted Dr. Serra in Rio de Janeiro, and he has replied promptly.   I also am considering a Dr. Casavantes in Tijuana, MX.   I read good things about both of them, but nothing good about anyone here in San Francisco, CA.

That Radiasse only works for a short time. Its not worth it. Medicare will not cover it.

Can you share where you had this done?  I haven't been lucky with Medicare covering Sculptra or Radiesse.
