Awesome! Good luck with your surgery!

This is probably the #1 question about liposuction. I think we've all asked it at some point! lol

Everything is liposuction. The difference is in what method is used to break up the fat... ultrasound, laser, fluid, etc. However, most experts seem to agree that it's the doctor who makes the difference between a good or bad result. Here's some more info:

IMHO it's like painting. You can say you prefer watercolours or oil paints, but a bad painter is a bad painter in any medium. If it were me, I would choose the doctor I feel most comfortable with, and use whatever system he trusts. Have you gone "doctor shopping" yet?
