More lessons learned....upon researching "the Lipo King" I discovered that the Lipo King is no longer licensed to practice medicine in California, he was not a board certified surgeon or plastic surgeon, and appears not to have been board certified in any specialty. In looking for a plastic surgeon, I've learned that there are non-surgeons performing liposuction (e.g. dermatologists), including in some cases physicians who did not complete credible post-graduate training in liposuction and who would not be credentialed at some hospitals to perform liposuction in a hospital setting. I'll be staying clear of anyone designated by themself or anyone else as King of anything.

This is an interesting case that may lead some to conclude that it is wise to thoroughly research your physician. When I went to check out "the Lipo King" I found some very revealing information on the Medical Board of California, "Public Document Search" ( http://publicdocs.medbd.ca.gov/pdl/mbc.aspx) specifically a Decision by the Board on December 31, 2007. For those considerng any surgical procedure, this may be cause to research your doctor. The details reported by the Board are eye-raising. I'm in the process of searching for a plastic surgeon, and I can not believe some of the things that I have discovered
