On the hit show ?Nip/Tuck?, credible surgeons Sean and McNamara do their best to provide appropriate service to their long clientele list with a price. Whereas their former colleague Bob Botox perform cheaper procedures in a run-down and hidden area of Miami. Picture yourself as a character on that TV show: would you pay big bucks and get the best or save more by paying a low rate only to wonder what the possible consequences could be?
If the physicians are not licensed to practice liposuction procedures in any state, the consequences are grave. In fact, liposuction deaths are more frequent in clinical settings which do not have licenses. Black-market cosmetic treatment is not a safe haven to go to when in need of liposuction.
Nowadays, liposuction has become a product each consumer can purchase ? as long as they can afford it. That being the case, consumer only deserves the best. But here are some do?s and don?t to serve as reminders for a person considering to go through liposuction.
Do?s:
1. Get a medical evaluation. First thing?s first. Ask your doctor if liposuction is right for you. Your doctor is there to keep you informed. He will tell you the pros and cons of liposuctions. 2. Talk to family and friends. People you trust can convince you whether or not you should undergo the procedure.
3. When you do decide on having liposuction, choose the location well. Stay aware of places that aren?t a physician?s office. Some procedures are done at salon, mall, hotel room or even someone else?s home. This procedure must be done at a clinic or a hospital, not anywhere else. Otherwise, if an emergency happens to take place, there are no care facilities to run to.
4. Check the physician?s background and achievements. Cosmetic procedures must be performed by a licensed physician who holds a dermatology specialty, training and experience. Go to google and type in the physician?s name. To make it easier, there are dermatology and cosmetic sites with names of credible physicians to supervise the sensitive procedure. You have to make sure that the physician is certified by a board with the approval of the American Board of Medical Specialties.
5. Discuss pain management. This lessens the possible side effects of general anesthesia.
6. Ask questions. Ask the physician if this is the right procedure for you. Ask if this could have side effects on your skin type. Ask it the physician has performed this before. You, as a consumer, have a right to know.
7. Walk away or turn it down. If you feel that you deserve something more than they can offer or queasy with the whole process, then you can just say no.
Don?ts:
1. Be fooled by diplomas hanging on the ?physician?s? wall. You have to check your state medical board. Make sure that the physician does not have any complaints filed against him.
2. Base your entire decision on price. If it is lower than the usual rate, then you will not be getting the best treatment.
3. Undergo the procedure if they don?t give you an assurance that you are in safe and good hands.
Most importantly, go with your instincts. If you feel that this isn?t right, then you can always walk away. But if you are determined to go through the sensitive procedure, then just make sure that your health won?t be at any risk.
