Choosing a qualified lipo surgeon to perform your procedure is crucial for your long-term health and finances. If you want to find someone that is well-trained, experienced, and ethical, you will have to invest time and effort in the quest. Following is a brief overview of what to look for and how to find a surgeon that will give you the best, safest results.
When selecting a surgeon, you should consider the following criteria: board certification in a surgical specialty, expertise in managing cardiac emergencies, and training in both the classroom and operating room. Your surgeon should be certified by the National Board of Plastic Surgeons. This will ensure that your surgeon has received a formal education in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Additionally, your doctor should have certification in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) with re-certification every two years or equivalent.
In the process of choosing a lipo surgeon, prepare to ask each candidate very specific questions to ascertain their level of expertise and experience. Here are a few of the questions you should have answered before selecting someone: does the surgeon have a good reputation among patients and doctors? How many liposuction patients has he seen? Have any patients been hospitalized following surgery? Is he well-trained in preventing and handling emergencies? Is he a member of a teaching faculty? These questions will give you a good idea of how qualified each surgeon is to handle your specific case.
These questions are helpful once you've found several doctors to meet with, but the trouble can be finding potential candidates. Fortunately there are many ways to find a surgeon. Referrals from friends and acquaintances are often the best resources. Other local physicians can also recommend a surgeon based on his/her reputation in the medical community. Another good option is an online search, although you need to be careful about believing marketing hype. Websites are designed to appeal to potential consumers; do not believe every testimonial and photo. If you find someone online whose work you're interested in, seek out recommendations and referrals about their work.
Lipo surgery is permanent and thus the credentials and experience of the doctor you choose are worth weighing heavily. If you're thorough in your research you will find a surgeon that can give you the results you're seeking. By knowing what to ask and where to look, you can be confident in the choice you make.
