Why are patients so focused on the technique and not the surgeon? My operating room schedule is full of patients reqesting revisions of unsuccessful surgeries performed by novice or unqualified practitioners, many using heavily marketed techniques that generate business. Liposuction machines are tools, nothing more. If you are committed to a new technology because you have been swayed by promises of quick recovery and superior results from a paid advertisement rather than by doing your research to find the finest surgeon, you have already chosen the level of quality of your care. If you want the best results you will first find the best surgeon and ask what tools he or she uses.
