What type of doctor a person should go to. Do doctors other than plastic surgeons perform lipo? Can they go to a dermatologist? Do physician's assistant perform it?
Answer: Who performs Liposuction? I would find a board certified plastic surgeon who offers the full scope of procedures in body contouring and performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year. Look for great reviews and before and after pictures on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Who performs liposuction? In the US medical community virtually every specialty has someone performing liposuction. I think you would be best served by having liposuction done by someone in a surgical specialty.

Answer: Dermatologic Surgeons tend to have the most experience with Tumescent Lipo with the micro canulas. All docs do lipo but when you value quality results over cheap prices then you see a board certified derm surgeon since they invented the tumescent liposuction under local anesthesia and they tend to use the smaller cannulas for better fine tuning when they stand you up and have you turn in all positions to get the best results. Now to be fair, a board certified plastic surgeon can still do a decent job of liposuction although you will routinely see them do it under general anesthesia and use the larger cannulas which we all did 30 yrs ago.

Answer: Best Liposuction Doctor In short, the best liposuction doctor you can find is the one who does a lot of liposuction cases. Clearly, I am biased towards Plastic Surgeons, but to be fair I will say that there are some Dermatologists who get very good results as well. I suggest you make sure you use a doctor who can show you many examples of patients who look much like you - and who's results you think are good.Having said that, the other answers I see here are also important. Please make sure your doctor is board certified and has hospital privileges to perform the procedure as well. Without those criteria, you should not ever consider having a procedure with a given physician.Good Luck!

Answer: Who can perform liposuction? Liposuction is a very common and popular procedure in the United States. I would recommend for you find a board certified Plastic Surgeon to perform liposuction for you. You will find in your state various types of physicians performing liposuction. In Nevada ENT, general surgeon, ER physician, family practioners, OB-Gyn doctors, cosmetic surgeons, and plastic surgeon perform liposuction. Plastic surgeons are trained during their residency in how to master the art of liposuction. There are physicians who do not have any training and only have gone to a weekend course and now are performing liposuction. Therefore, please do your research prior to selecting your doctor.
