Considering Liposuction Surgery? What to Look For in a Liposuction Surgeon

By Jerry Shepard

Like most surgeries, your results are only as good as the surgeon who is performing surgery itself. With Liposuction Surgery this is also important, simply because the results of the surgery will be visible to everyone who lays eyes on you. In order to find the best person for the job you will need to become familiar with what credentials are important in a Liposuction surgeon. If you are looking for Los Angeles Liposuction or Liposuction in Fort Worth you can generally find many surgeons that are advertising their services. But how will you know which surgeon is right for you?

The first step is to contact the surgeons in your area and arrange a meeting with them to talk about their experience, education and the aspects of the surgery ( i.e. - the results you expect and the results they believe they can deliver). Most surgeons will be happy to meet potential clients and will jump at the chance to put your mind at ease or counsel you for or against the procedure you are seeking.

When you are talking to the surgeon, be sure to ask them about their education and experience. You will want a surgeon who is board-certified for the type of surgery you are seeking. Board certification is a MUST as it establishes that the surgeon has demonstrated proficiency performing a peer-reviewed skill set. Another credential that is highly sought for your surgeon is if they are a FACS. FACS stands for Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. The reason Fellowships are highly sought is that they are the pinnacle of training any surgeon can achieve.

So now that you've spoken to the surgeon about their education, experience and the surgery the final criteria to judge them by is your "feeling" about them. Since your body, and potentially your life, is in their hands you should always select the person with whom you feel comfortable.

As mentioned above, if you're looking for Los Angeles Liposuction or Liposuction in Fort Worth, you should have plenty of board certified and FACS surgeons to choose from. Its up to you to find the right one.
