Like any type of cosmetic surgery, liposuction comes with risks, and it is best performed by a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon.
If you’re considering liposuction, one good way to narrow down your surgeon options is to ask friends and family members for recommendations. Research plastic surgeons online, checking for their education, specialized training, board certification and patient testimonials.
Most respectable plastic surgeons will feature a gallery of before and after photos on their websites or maintain a portfolio in their office. Look at the images and consider if you’re pleased with the level of results and consistency.
Don’t be afraid to schedule consultations with multiple plastic surgeons. When you’re considering a liposuction procedure, it’s important to find a surgeon who is both highly qualified and whom you personally trust.
A plastic surgeon with a successful track record will be able to determine if you’re a viable candidate for liposuction, answer your questions, explain procedures and risks in an understandable manner, and help you set realistic goals.
If you live in the Albuquerque or Santa Fe areas and are considering liposuction, please contact board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael S. Hopkins at the Plastic Surgery Center.
