subject: A Liposuction Surgeon Should Always Abide By The Highest Ethical Standards [print this page] A liposuction surgeon should always abide by the highest ethical standards. This is very important for the safety of the patient. Cosmetic surgery is a very expensive and profitable business. It takes a good surgeon with a lot of integrity to look past the money a patient might spend in order to decide whether the patient is really a good candidate for the surgery.
The surgeon should be completely honest with a patient even if it especially if it means loosing their business. If the candidate is mad because they do not qualify a good surgeon will help them to understand the danger of the procedure. The most important thing in any surgery is safety. With an elective surgery this is even more important because any complications are not well tolerated when it is elective.
For those patients who are sure they want to surgically remove their fatty tissue their best insurance for a safe and successful procedure is the surgeon they choose. The most important thing is to choose a surgeon who is well trained in these types of procedures. The surgeon should have a long list of references and satisfied clients.
Often because this particular cosmetic surgery is so common and popular in the United States it is taken too lightly. Patients decide to have the procedure performed based on an emotional desire to be skinny, fast. They see many people doing it so they do not think that they are putting their life in danger.
Liposuction is surgery. It involves making an incision and suctioning the adipose tissue from under the skin. Then it involves the intense and stressful process of extracting the fat out of the body. The procedure often causes the destruction of numerous blood vessels and surrounding tissue.
The best surgeon will be very blunt and honest about informing their patients on the possible risks and his ability to handle them. Once the surgery is completed it will still take months to heal completely. Most patients will begin to see the results about six months after the surgery. This is how profound the side effects are from this surgery.
There are a variety of complications and side effects that may effect the overall outcome of the patient. The complications can include infections, puncture wounds in the organs, pooling of serum, nerve compression, changes in sensation (parasthesis), permanent numbness, visible scar, dimples, abnormal body contours, results that don't look natural, burns (from ultrasound assisted lipo), skin necrosis (skin death), anesthesia toxicity, serious swelling which can persist for weeks or months.
