Dr. Bernard Salameh makes an appearance on the national television show to surprise guest with life changing skin removal surgeries after a massive weight loss of 440 pounds.
Bowing Green, Kentucky – Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Bernard Salameh MD, FACS ABPS ASPS, and founder of Salameh Plastic Surgery + Skin Care in Bowling Green appeared on the Emmy Award-Winning television show CBS’s “The Doctors” on Monday, October 19 to surprise a guest on the show with complimentary life changing skin removal surgery after the guest lost over 400 pounds.
Back Story on Guest Receiving the Surgeries From Salameh Plastic Surgery:
On Monday, October 19, “The Doctors” featured Justin Wiseman, a 36 year-old from rural Illinois, who has struggled with his weight his entire life. By the age of 5, he was 100 pounds. He eventually tipped the scale at 620 pounds by the time he was 26 years old. He started reaching out to doctors for help, but quickly learned that operating room tables had a 500-pound limit, so he had no choice but to lose the weight on his own. He made small changes to lose 130lbs in 6 months before getting bariatric surgery. After 3 years, he reached his goal weight of 180 and had lost 440 pounds! However, like 85% of those that lose weight, a traumatic relationship and emotional issues led him to gain 200 of those hard-earned pounds back. Since then, he has decided to tackle his food addiction and mental health. He has lost 130lbs in the past year. He still has 70 pounds to go but is more motivated than ever. He has a 3-year-old daughter who is his reason to now live life to the fullest. He’s incredibly passionate and regularly speaks to children about eating healthy and living an active lifestyle.
Inspired by Justin’s hard work, back story, and dedication to living a healthy lifestyle, Dr. Salameh is donating a series of skin removal and body contouring procedures at no charge once Justin reaches his goal weight.
Surgeries will include an upper body lift to remove skin in the arms, chest, and stomach area and a lower body lift to remove excessive skin in the thighs and lift and tighten the skin. Excessive skin is a result of massive
weight loss and can oftentimes cause an additional negative psychological impact on the person. Dr. Salameh wants to give Justin his confidence and sense of self being back by giving him the body he has worked so hard
to achieve.
“After hearing about Justin’s story and the struggles of weight loss and gain, I knew I had to do something” said Dr. Salameh “He is a true inspiration to many people who can relate to his story and I am just so proud of
everything he has accomplished. With this gift, I hope this will give him the motivation he needs to reach his final goal. I cannot wait to change his life.”
CBS and “The Doctors” will continue to follow Justin Wiseman’s story and transformation over the next year with additional episodes featuring the surgery and Dr. Salameh in the future. Dr. Salameh will feature Justin’s
story and entire body procedures on his YouTube Channel.
