If you are considering having liposuction treatment done, it is important to find a plastic surgeon that is professional and trustworthy. Liposuction, or lipoaspiracao, is a fairly common procedure, however there are always risks of complication with any kind of surgery. You need to find a surgeon who makes you feel comfortable and who is competent at their job. Just because they have attended a high-end school or have a diploma showcased on their wall doesn't mean they are the right person to do your lipo. There are certain things that you should find out before signing any paperwork to have your procedure completed. Just because a plastic surgeon charges a lot of surgery does not mean that it is the best option for you. Some people have a misconstrued notion that the best plastic surgeons cost the most, but this simply isn't true. Some doctors may inflate their prices simply because they can. It doesn't mean that they are any better at their job than anyone else. You shouldn't assume anything until you have met the doctor ...
... and done your background research. In fact, some of the most expensive plastic surgeons have lawsuits pending against them from customers who were not happy with their experience. When looking around for the best doctor to perform your lipo, you want someone who has a lot of experience doing this specific kind of treatment. A doctor may have 10 or 20 years of experience, but it does not mean that they have always done an excellent job. Find out if the doctor has any lawsuits or if they have any charges against them for malpractice. You will also want to make sure they have the proper insurance just incase something were to go wrong. If a surgeon has insurance, you can rest easy knowing that you will be compensated if anything were to happen to you under their care. Find out if the surgeon you are visiting has any references - including other clients who have had lipo surgery. If they will not allow you to speak with previous clients directly, this could be a warning that you should find someone else. A professional plastic surgeon or doctor will be able to provide you with several clients to verify the quality of their work. Pictures are always helpful, but you won't be able to get a true reference of their work until you actually speak with past clients. Finally, make sure you visit their office and take note of your surroundings. What kind of building do they operate out of? Is it well maintained and kept clean? Is their staff friendly and willing to help you with any questions you have? You will also want to find out if they offer a payment plan for those who cannot afford to pay for the surgery in full up front. Does the doctor have proper bedside manners? You will want someone who makes you feel at ease. In this kind of scenario it is very important to trust your intuition and go with your gut feeling.
