A double board-certified plastic & reconstructive surgeon who treats post-weight-loss contouring as reconstructive surgery — because it is.
Massive-weight-loss surgery is tissue engineering at human scale: large movements, tension management, healing that must be planned before the first incision. Dr. Erdal performs it personally — assessment, gatekeeping, operation and follow-up — and tells patients still mid-descent the honest "not yet" that protects their result.
