Is it safe to have liposuction on abdomen & flanks at a resident clinic?

April 9, 2023
Asked By:Stuart3 in New York, New York

I'm considering lipo for small, stubborn areas of fat on my abdomen & flanks. I'm still researching. Some nearby plastic surgery residencies (& sometimes fellowships) offer discounted surgery by residents (or fellows) under supervision. Safe? Budget conscious here, but don’t want to be impaled w/ lipo cannula.
