Body contouring surgery for bariatric patients is becoming a sub-specialty of plastic surgery. Dr. Sterry has dedicated a large portion of his practice to working with patients who have experienced massive weight loss, and is renowned for his skill and artistry in reshaping men's and women's bodies.
There are a host of nuances involved in performing plastic surgery on bariatric patients. Many surgical techniques that have been used for years to treat normal-weight patients are simply not effective in people who have lost 100 pounds or more.

Patient testimonials
"Dr. Sterry is amazing. He performed a lower body lift on Nov. 14, 2005 and I am thrilled with the result. He will be doing a breast/arm lift on Feb. 3. I interviewed several of the top plastic surgeons in New York City when I decided to begin my plastics and there was NO comparison when it came to Dr. Sterry."
