Making The Most of Your Liposuction Consultation Appointment

There is no way to oversell the importance of a plastic surgery consultation appointment for anyone interested in rejuvenating their appearance with a cosmetic procedure like liposuction. While some patients may consider their consultation a bit of a formality, this could not be further from the truth. A consultation before liposuction is essential to better understanding your surgery, different options and techniques, what results you can expect, and much more. Which is why I thought it would be helpful today to reinforce what patients can do to get the most out of their liposuction consultation appointments.

Like any other plastic surgery procedure, the liposuction process begins with finding a board-certified plastic surgeon with considerable experience performing liposuction to consult with and ultimately perform your procedure. Once this is done, it’s time to focus and prepare for the consultation appointment itself. While the conversation can be free-flowing and touch on many areas that patients may not have even thought of, having certain high priority questions prepared can be incredibly helpful. This ensures that nothing especially important will be left unanswered before the procedure has taken place. I would personally recommend making note of the following questions:

• What steps should I take to prepare before my surgery?
• Where will my liposuction surgery be performed?
• Can I have liposuction performed on multiple areas of my body at once?
• What should I expect from my post-liposuction recovery process?
• When will I be able to see the final results of my liposuction and how long will they last?
• How much post-surgery scarring will I experience after liposuction?
• Will my liposuction procedure be performed under general anesthesia or other types of numbing?
• Are there any potential risks and complications associated with my procedure that I should know about?
• Do you offer plastic surgery financing or any other kind of payment assistance?

Liposuction is typically a safe, simple, and highly effective plastic surgery procedure. But having these questions in mind and fully preparing for your consultation appointment can help ensure the best possible experience from your procedure.
