Interval from consultation to surgery for liposuction

John Renucci, MD answers: Liposuction consultation and actual procedure interval?

How long does it take after the consultation does Liposuction take place?

The interval between consultation and surgery can vary due to a number of factors. Your detailed and individualized consultation will address whether or not you are a good candidate for liposuction (or any surgical procedure). If improvement in physical fitness, or optimization of physical health is recommended, this may prolong the interval before surgery. The availability of the surgeon and operating room may also influence the interval.  Surgeons who have their own outpatient, accredited surgical facility may have more flexibility accommodating patient requests. Ultimately, take your time with your decision, liposuction is a powerful contouring procedure with very predictable and long term results.
