The
FDA cannot recommend physicians to you. However, there are some things that you
may consider:
Ask
questions. If you decide to take the step to talk to a doctor about liposuction,
be sure that you ask questions and understand what happens during the liposuction
procedure and what you can expect. Your physician should also answer any and all
questions you have about potential problems with liposuction. Remember that you
are purchasing a service when you pay a physician to do a liposuction procedure
and you shouldn't feel embarrassed to ask hard questions about the procedure or
about the physician's experience in performing liposuction.
Advertising. Be
wary of advertisements that say or imply that you will have a perfect appearance
after liposuction. Remember that advertisements are meant to sell you a product
or service, not to inform you of all the potential problems with that service.
Don't
base your decision simply on cost and remember that you don't have to settle
for the first doctor or procedure you investigate. The decision you make about
liposuction surgery is an important one but not one that you must make right away.
Read.
You should learn as much as you can about liposuction. It is important for you
to read the patient information that your doctor provides.
Don't be pressured.
Do not feel that because you speak to a physician about this procedure that you
must go through with it. Take your time to decide whether liposuction is right
for you and whether you are willing to take the risks of undergoing liposuction
for its benefits.
