Connecticut is a city with a lot of plastic surgeons. That’s why you need to be
discerning and choose the right plastic surgeon for your laser liposuction. The
best way is to shortlist two or three surgeons and schedule consultations with
each one. Qualifications, board-certification and experience are very important
considerations. Asking the right questions will help you make your decision.
Questions You Should Ask the Plastic Surgeon
Start out by making a list of the questions you need to ask to find out which physician may be more suited than another. To evaluate the surgeon’s background, check out whether he or she is board-certified. Most websites list each physician’s credentials. The initial consultation is an ideal way to screen the specialist. If the surgery is a multiple physician practice, make sure you speak with the surgeon who will be performing the surgery.
Questions you should ask:
• How long has the surgeon been in the practice?
• How many times a year does the surgeon perform the liposuction surgery you are interested in? It’s important that the surgeon has wide experience in the procedure.
• How will the procedure be performed? What is the technology used? Smartlipo liposuction is ideal as it features advanced laser technology and is performed under local anesthesia, reducing patient risk.
• Has the surgeon received training in the technology that will be used? For instance, if liposuction procedures are performed using an advanced modality like Smartlipo Triplex, is the surgeon trained and experienced in using it?
• Does the surgeon get a lot of patients by referral? A skilled and reliable plastic surgeon would.
• Where will the surgery be performed? Whether surgical center or doctor’s office, make sure the facility is certified.
• What are the potential complications involved in liposuction surgery, and how many patients have experienced these? How will the surgeon deal with such issues if they do occur?
• Ask to see before and after photos of the surgeon’s patients. Remember that individual results may vary.
• Ask whether you can speak with a patient who has had the laser liposuction procedure you want.
• Ask about post-operative care and whether the surgeon will be actively involved in the process.
Don’t forget to evaluate the surgical center and doctor’s office. Is it clean and comfortable? Is the staff helpful, warm and caring?
Choose a Surgeon You Are Comfortable With
Ultimately, the choosing the right Connecticut plastic surgeon for laser liposuction is a question of personal choice. You must be comfortable discussing your issues with the physician who in turn, must be able to understand your goals. Finally, it’s important that you educate yourself on the procedure you want done. The Internet is a good source of information.
