subject: How Do You Find The Perfect Liposuction Surgeon? [print this page] Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries around the world. In America alone, over 300,000 of these surgeries were performed last year. As more people turn to liposuction to remove unwanted fat and improve their appearance, more and more surgeons are racing to certify in order to meet the growing need. However, this sudden influx of new surgeons means it's more important than ever for people to be able to find quality surgeons to perform these procedures.
Liposuction is a tricky procedure which requires a lot of training to be able to do properly. When performed by someone who is properly trained and qualified and who has a high level of experience and skill, it is quite safe. In the correct hands, liposuction can fairly consistently provide positive, aesthetically pleasing outcomes. However, when an inexperienced or unskilled surgeon performs a liposuction, the results can be disastrous. Some patients are unsatisfied with their appearance after a liposuction, and others have much more dangerous complications, such as serious damage to the body.
This means it is of the utmost importance that people find qualified, skilled and safe surgeons. While differentiating the best surgeons from the mediocre can be difficult, a couple of tips can help you in your search.
The first is take some time and really look. Don't be overhasty in your decision making process. Getting a liposuction is a big deal, and because it has big ramifications, you really shouldn't make your decision on the basis of only a few of the facts. Give yourself enough information and time to really be able to tell.
Second, don't bargain shop. It's not a bad thing to be frugal, and there certainly isn't always a perfect correspondence between price and quality, but sometimes you do get what you pay for. If a surgeon is offering a price too much lower than his competitors, it's probably a good idea to do a little digging to find out why he finds this necessary. Sometimes the cheapest surgeons aren't the best or most experienced, and they've set down their prices because that's their only way of attracting customers. Sometimes they've had some bad reviews and are hoping sales will lure people in a hurry--before they've done their research.
Third, meet with a number of surgeons in your area. Don't simply go with the first one you meet. When you go to these consultations, feel free to ask any questions you have. Your surgeon and his team ought to be able to answer all of your questions. Don't be intimidated, embarrassed or shy. If your surgeon is unwilling or unable to answer your questions, consider moving on. Also, don't feel pressured to make your decision at the first consultation. If you have additional questions, make an appointment for another consultation.
Lastly, look for surgeons who create the sort of results you're interested in. If you can find a surgeon whose before and after photos match what you're looking for, that is a good sign that they understand your aesthetic.
