What questions should I ask my plastic surgeon about assisted liposuction?
Use this checklist as a guide during your laser- or ultrasound-assisted liposuction consultation:
Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
Were you specifically trained in the field of plastic surgery?
Is the office-based surgical facility accredited by a nationally- or state-recognized accrediting agency, or is it state-licensed or Medicare-certified?
Am I a good candidate for laser- or ultrasound-assisted liposuction?
What will be expected of me to get the best results?
Where and how will you perform my procedure or treatment?
How long of a recovery period can I expect?
What are the risks and complications associated with my procedure?
How are complications handled?
How can I expect to look over time?
Do you have before-and-after photos I can look at for this procedure?
While the pandemic was a rough time for many, it certainly didn't negatively impact the popularity of cosmetic procedures and surgeons are anticipating patient requests will shift slightly as they start to set their eyes on a summer vacation or a beach weekend.
