Im planning to get lipo on my chest and flanks sometime in mid December. I visited a total of 5 plastic surgeons I narrowed down my choices to two highly qualified surgeons based on anesthetic method, for some reason most of the surgeons I consulted with only use general anesthesia, these two surgeons use twilight both surgeons have been practicing in the field before I was born 1984. There prices differ considerably one wants $3800 the other wants $5400. Both perform procedures in office.
Heres where the issue is, surgeon $3800 his OR is not accredited by anyone as far as I can tell he is licensed in the state of Florida but no facility accreditation. The other doctor’ $5400 facility is accredited by the AAAASF. Both facilities look the same. The issue with this is doctor $3800 wants to use a smart lipo/ vaser and doctor $5400 want to use tumescent lipo, for some reason I think doctor $3800 approach will result in the best. What should I do? Chest/ flank lipo
Wow...the threads posted here from my colleagues are RIGHT ON! Peter A. Aldea, MD and Stephen Prendiville MD have hit the nail square on the head. Safety is paramount...ask these two surgeons 1) Are you Board Certified, 2) What are you Board Certified in?
Surgery Center certification is a MUST...if the center doesn't have it, ask WHY.
Good luck and be safe!

My friend is thin and has hereditary fat on her Tummy she is 45..Her girl friend who is sixty had lipo suction a while back and has divits and rippels on her tummy..My friend is scared off now..I think she would be ok and not have divits if she just goes to a good DR. Are their more jobs that have rivits than ones that are smooth?
Great question! It seems everyone is performing liposuction these days...even non-medical personnel. It is scary and I think in some respects, at least from what I have seen and experienced here in my office in the southeast, that most of the issues with contour abnormalities (divots, grooving, depressions) occur from inexperienced lipo-sculpturers. I tell my patients that it is not necessarily the paintbrush that makes the masterpiece but the artist holding it. Same with liposuction....lots of marketing out there (lasers, water, tumescent, smart, etc.), so buyer beware.
Same goes for your surgeon....shop around, but ultimately MAKE SURE you are seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with significant liposuction experience. He/she will examine your "inherited" fat deposits and skin condition and educate you/your friend as to what the best option might be in each particular case.
I hope this helps!
Good luck!
