Smart Lipo Doctors ~ How to Find Best One?

Before you go in for your consultation, do your research.  Google them and review their website.  When you are at your consultation, as them about their qualifications.  Ask if they are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Ask how many procedures they have done.  Ask which hospitals they have privileges to operated in and if they have admitting privileges.  Talk to other patients , etc.  Just as all chefs, all hair stylists and all artists are not the same, all surgeons are not the same.  It is important that you find one that is highly trained and that you have a personality fit so that you can have a pleasant experience for your procedure.  Good luck.

I suggest you evaluate pictures and seek a second consultation with your doctor to increase you confidence. This so new, the i doubt if your local medical society will be of help. Often reviews on the web can be nisleading as the reviews may all be from solcited positive patients or on the othe hand one angry patient can ruin a good reputation. My patients are seen by myself and another smart lipo surgeon to make sure of the diagnosis

There are some basic questions that patients can ask to better understand the surgeon, the smartlipo procedure, procedure, and the practice.
Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
Are you a Fellow of American or International College of Surgeons?
Are you a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery?
Were you trained specifically in the field of plastic surgery?
Will you be performing the smartlipo procedure in a hospital or private setting?
Do you have hospital privileges to perform liposuction?
Is the office-based surgical facility accredited by a nationally- or state-recognized accrediting agency?
What do I need to do as the patient to get the best results?
How will you perform the smartlipo procedure?
What surgical technique is recommended for me?
How long of a recovery period can I expect, and what kind of help will I need during my recovery?
What are the risks and complications associated with the smartlipo procedure?
How are complications handled?
What results are reasonable for me?
What are my options if I am dissatisfied with the cosmetic outcome of the smartlipo surgery?
Do you have before-and-after photos that I can look at for smartlipo?
 

Your comfort level with the surgeon  and his staff during your consult is a good start , his knowledge and experience but dont stop there...  ask for to to speak with patients to find out satisfaction/recommendations in previous procedures. Check out his certifications and creditials and ask to see before and after pictures of HIS patients, not stock photos.

Ask how long he has been doing this procedure and how many surgeries he has performed with the Smartlipo. You should also ask to see photos and possibly speak to some of his patients. We were the first to pioneer SmartLipo and you can go to our website to get answers to your questions.
