If you have made up your mind about liposuction, the next step to naturally come is making the surgeon selection. As if choosing to have the procedure done in the first place wasn’t hard enough, now you are faced with an even tougher task. While it would be nice to say the process of choosing a surgeon is easy and worry free, it is not and you must do your homework to ensure you choose the right one.

Even once you narrow down your list, you will still be faced with a tough decision and that is which surgeon shares the same vision you do and which one will work best for you and your choice! Below, we will go over some tips to help you choose the right surgeon for your procedure.

Is he or she board certified?

Working with a surgeon that is not board certified is risky and can present a whole can of worms for you. You want to look for surgeons who are accredited and recognized by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, or the RCSC in Plastic Surgery.

Is he or she experienced?

Who wants to work with a brand new surgeon who has never performed a surgery before? Not many people. When it comes to your procedure, you want to know that your surgeon has the expertise and experience to do the procedure right the first time.

In addition, consider whether the surgeon practices the procedure you want performed on a regular basis. An experienced surgeon without any recent experience may be as worrisome as a brand new one.

Does he or she have references?

Always ask your potential surgeon if he or she has references for you to review. Any reputable surgeon will have no problem handing over some information for you to look over. In addition, you can ask about the surgeon’s board certification and check it for validation.

How’d the consultation go?

Before you make a decision about any plastic surgeon for liposuction, make sure you vet the surgeon through a consultation session. During your session, you can ask questions about how the procedure is performed, what the surgeon recommends, and you can also discuss any complications.

After the consultation, evaluate how you felt. Were you satisfied with the answers or were you left yearning for more?

Follow-up care is just as important

Quality care does not stop once the scalpel is put into the sterilizing bin. A quality Toronto plastic surgeon will continue to work with you to ensure you are healing properly and that the surgery went well. Make sure that the surgeon you are considering is able to thoroughly explain follow-up care to you as well. Not understanding the instructions can lead to complications.
