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
