Thank you for your question.It is very important to discuss with the doctor your aims and objectives. The doctor then should xamine you: including your proportions, weight, BMI, skin elasticity and thickness, muscle tone, fat layer thickness/volume and type, relationship between sub-dermal fat to the visceral (internal fat). You expectations and psychological assessment should be carried out. Then you can ask the doctor to show you the case studies of similar body shape to you that she /he performed before. That will help you to get an idea what realistically is possible to achieve. then ask how the procedure is done and about side effects and risks. Your suitability for the procedure than should be summarized and a written information and a quote should be given.Good luck!
