[I'm not a professional]
I don't think so. Plastic surgeons deal with stuff not directly related to fat.
According to the Britannica Concise Encyclopedia, The Plastic Surgery "may involve reshaping or moving tissues to fill a depression, cover a wound, or improve appearance".
That's right, they are experts in reshaping stuff. On the other hand, Bariatric surgeons deal with FAT, which nothing can be done about but promptly REMOVED or, at best, BURNT.
So, in my humble opinion, plastic surgeons do plastic surgeries, and Bariatric people take care of fat issues. No mixing.
In any case, consider visiting relevant material about surgeries on the internet. I have a good suggestion of a website with doctor reviewed content that might be interesting to you:
