LIPOSUCTION - WHO DOES IT
As with any medical procedure, choosing your doctor is the most important step.
Finding a talented, experienced physician is often the hardest part of the process for
patients. Plastic surgeons across the country agree that the key to an optimal outcome
lies in the skill and experience of the physician performing the procedure.
The biggest and most dangerous issue surrounding liposuction: anyone with a medical license
can legally perform the procedure without any standardized training. To ensure
that you are in safe, qualified hands for your liposuction, NewBeauty® recommends:
a board-certified plastic surgeon for any area of the face, breast or body, for
liposuction alone, or in conjunction with other surgical procedures; a dermatologist
with added specialized training in liposuction if the procedure is limited and the
fat localized; a board-certified facial plastic surgeon if the procedure is limited
to the face and neck.
Find a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist in your area.
Equally important to your safety and positive outcome is to ensure the facility
where your liposuction is performed is fully accredited or licensed. But don't stop
there. The doctor you choose should have privileges to perform liposuction at a local
hospital, even if your procedure will be performed in an office-based or outpatient
surgical facility.
