Stay in your area for traditional liposuction

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Smart Lipo consultation, procedure, and recovery

I am considering Smart Lipo for my abdomen, hips, and buttocks. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, and I'm planning to visit California for 3-4 week in July 09. Would that be enough time for consultation, procedure, and recovery? Thank you.

It amazes me that people still haven't gotten the message that Smart lipo is no better than traditional lipo in experienced hands.  Also, many practitioners of Smart lipo aren't even trained plastic surgeons.  Finally, traveling for surgery is a bad idea because if you have any issues after, nobody in your area is going to want to see you and you will have to go back to the surgeon you went to.

The best plan is to find an experienced plastic surgeon near you and have traditional lipo done in the proximity of home.
