subject: Liposuction Surgeons Should Be Experienced In Common Emergencies To Avoid Extreme Emergencies [print this page] Extreme medical emergencies do not happen very often when it comes to liposuction procedures. Yet, small emergencies are more common than many think. The surgeon should be well trained in preventing and taking care of these small emergencies or any surgical emergencies that may happen.
Find out if the surgeon has ever encountered a surgical emergency and ask them about their abilities to handle the situation. The more extreme emergencies can usually be avoided if the surgeon can avoid or take care of the small emergencies. If you have to choose between two equally experienced surgeons these types of questions could be a good deciding factor.
Make sure you know where the surgeons received their training. Also find out the reputation of those schools based on quality and skill technique. Make sure they board certified. A surgeon may be able to practice cosmetic surgery with a non-surgical certification but he may not be a good first choice.
A surgeons training with sterile surgical techniques may be adequate even if they have not been able to pass the board examination. However, such a surgeon may be inadequate to manage an acute surgical emergency, should one occur.
Choosing the right surgeon is the most important step to take after deciding that liposuction is your desired route to removing fat from the body. There are a few specific qualifications that you need to make sure a surgeon has when you are making your decision. Is he/she well trained? Does he/she have good experience and skill? Does he/she have a history of ethical practice procedures?
While cost is going to be an important factor for most patients, it should not be the deciding factor in the end. Finding answers to these important questions and any other questions you might have will create more peace of mind than an affordable price.
Many new or inexperienced surgeons will lower their prices to get patients to come to them. However, the danger with this is you may end up having a bad experience that needs repairing by a more expensive surgeon. In the end of a situation like this you may end up paying for the same procedure twice.
Another important question to be answered is how the surgeon feels about patient safety. The standard and lawful amount of fat and liquid that can be extracted from the body in one day is 5 liters. Most surgeons who put safety above all other considerations usually will only extract 4 liters in a given day.
