Liposuction is becoming ever more popular, and new techniques are being invented every year. The field of Laser-assisted liposuction is growing especially rapidly, with a number of different companies developing different lasers for the procedure, such as SmartLipo, ProLipo, CoolLipo, LipoLite, and LipoTherme. With all these choices, cosmetic surgery clients are giving more and more thought to what method of liposuction they want. What some people don't realize is that one's choice of surgeon is just as important--and perhaps more important--than which method one goes with.
An experienced and skilled surgeon understands the process of creating beauty and knows how to maximize a patient's results. Experienced surgeons are also much better equipped to deal with possible complications than newer and less skilled doctors. Frequently, a tried and true surgeon using an old liposuction technique can get better results more safely than an inexperienced surgeon with the latest and greatest technology. But how does one go about picking one's surgeon? While it's difficult to give an exact formula, this article will give some general information on how to find a doctor who's worth your while.
One easy first step is to check and make sure that your liposuction surgeon is board certified. If your surgeon has received certification from the American Board of Plastic surgery, then you already know a number of things. For example, you know that the doctor graduated from a reputable medical school and that he or she has completed a five year residency. You know that he or she has had specific training in cosmetic surgery, and isn't just a dermatologist who does liposuction on the side. Doctors who have actually studied cosmetic surgery and aesthetics tend to perform much better liposuctions than those who have not. One can frequently find this out from a doctor's website or by simply calling their practice.
Another good way to check out a doctor is to go in for a consultation. While you are there, be sure to ask a lot of questions. If you are proactive, you can find out a lot. Ask how many times the doctor has performed the specific procedure that you are going to undergo. Has the doctor received special training in this method of liposuction? If you can find someone who specializes in the type of liposuction or the body area that you wish to have operated on, your results will typically be much better.
The office visit is also a good time to ask to look at before and after pictures of their patients. While you should remain cautious, this can be a highly useful exercise. You can sometimes tell if a doctor's patients seem to have excessive bruising or swelling, or if they have a lumpy or unpleasing appearance. These can be signs of inexperience. However, remember that some doctors only show their best pictures, which means that your operation may not turn out exactly like the photos. Feel free to ask how often there are complications and how frequently people are dissatisfied with this doctor. You may also be able to find more about the doctor's reputation by Googling their name and "reviews."
One final indicator that may help you know whether a surgeon is a good choice is if he or she has privileges at a bona fide, accredited hospital. Your surgeon may perform some of his or her minor surgeries in a private office, as this is both cost-effective and can help with confidentiality. However, if your surgeon doesn't have a good reputation and a good relationship with a local hospital, and if he doesn't have the ability to perform surgery there, that may be a sign to keep looking. The best cosmetic surgeons typically have full privileges at a hospital near them.
