I’m having liposuction revision surgery with the same doctor that performed the first one. However, the doctors office insists, I have a psychological evaluation before even booking my revision appointment. Why is that?

Answer: Evaluation You did not give enough information to determine why one is needed. However, your surgeon has seen or heard you say or do things that made him/her concerned. Just go do it. You might learn something about yourself.

Answer: Ones the one who really needs a psychiatric evaluation? I have no idea why your provider is requesting a psychiatric evaluation. Perhaps they are simply putting up roadblocks to prevent you from having revision surgery. Maybe it’s your provider who needs a psychiatric evaluation? Delivering consistent quality Liposuction results is more difficult than most people recognize. The number of plastic surgeons who approach mastery of liposuction is in reality quite small. As a general statement, revision surgery is technically more difficult than primary Liposuction. Patients who have had obviously poorly done the previous Liposuction should think twice about having the same provider do revision and surgery. Revision surgery can make things worse if the surgeon lacks sufficient skill and experience. To make a quality assessment regarding the outcome of any plastic surgery procedure we generally need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before, and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
