Hi all,

Wondering if there is a list of recommended doctors who perform the tumescent liposuction in the UK or Europe that people have used and trust?

I would go and see Mr Karri. He's the best. Anne Dancey also does it in Birmingham but her patients on the forums are having a lot of complications after surgery. Dr Munnoch in Scotland does one operation a month and has a huge waiting list. Germany has a clinic but with the euro being so strong it's expensive and a long way to go for after are!

I would ask LSN.I have met most of the Drs and their patients mentioned below and all are very impressive.

I do not know Mr Karri however.

The Germany clinic trip wouldn't work for me because my case is complicated by having both demas and I would need many surgeries I was told.

Anne Dancey seems to take on more complex cases but the Surgeon who works at St George's and who was going to do my procedure; Ms Milroy would be my first NHS choice.

I liked Anne Dancey very much too I have to say.

The procedure is costly and requires hose 24/7 for the rest of your life but I expect you know that already ?

My funding bids have been rejected outright by my CCG and I have been quoted about 10k for Liposuction and after care.

Good Luck with your quest !
