When you're ready to have your reconstructive surgery after massive weight-loss, it's very important to find a surgeon who fits your needs. Television shows like Dr. 90210 or Extreme Makeover have made expectations unrealistic and knowledge of what to look for a bit harder. In Las Vegas, there are plenty of plastic/cosmetic surgeons, but it's important to find a surgeon who specializes in reconstructive surgery since your body needs more than basic cosmetic work. This article will spotlight one of those surgeons, Dr. W. Tracy Hankins.
Dr. Hankins has been in Las Vegas since 2004 but has had a practice in Lake Havasu, Arizona for eight years (he practices in both places simultaneously still). He runs Hankins Plastic Surgery with his partner, Dr. Samuel Sohn. At Hankins Plastic Surgery, his staff treat each patient like a member of their own families.
He attended Indiana University and Davidson College (North Carolina). He trained in the Grand Rapids program, a well-known plastic surgery training program. He is always using cutting-edge techniques and doctors come from all over the country to see what new tool he is using. Dr. Hankins is Board Certified and is also the Chief of Plastic Surgery at Sunrise Hospital.
While he is well-known for his knowledge of breast aesthetics and his ads around town are often for breast augmentations, he has recently partnered with the Gastric Band Institute/Surgical Weight Control Center to begin concentrating on weight-loss patients and reconstructive surgery. So much so that recently his ads around town have changed from a focus on breast implants to tummy tucks offering to help you feel better about yourself.
Why is Dr. Hankins so successful? It's his simple philosophy: “Treat each patient as if they were one of his family members and aim to provide not only great results, but great service as well.”
