Do you need a referral from a GP to undergo a liposuction operation/ surgery ?

Question

Gary Lawton, MD, FACS · Answer

A referral is not necessary to see a plastic surgeon regarding liposuction.  Make an appointment for an evaluation to see if you are a candidate for surgery.

Shayne Webb, MD · Answer

Usually only cases that would be covered by insurance need a referral.  However, your GP should be an excellent source of information on plastic surgeons in your area.  Take care and good luck.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

A referral from a GP is not necessary for a consult with a plastic surgeon.  Your doctor, however, may know of the best plastic surgeons in your area.

Marcus L. Peterson, MD · Answer

You can call a local plastic surgeon and set up an appointment.  Ask friends and family who may have experience with this procedure and they can help guide your selection of a plastic surgeon.Best WishesDr. Peterson
