Do you have trust issues? Do you make someone else taste your food first for the fear that it could be poisoned? Do you keep doubting and questioning all those around you? Well then, congratulations, because you can become the best liposuction patient there is. Jokes apart, the fact is that you need to know what you’re headed for before you take the big step of surgically removing fat from your body. You also need to know that you’re getting the best possible medical treatment and the best possible doctors. You need to trust them with your life.
To do that, you must, first of all, question, question and question! The medical staff may make fun behind your back and might call you finicky, but you need to get your story right. You must know the medical history and the reputation of the doctor who is operating on you. Is he/her and his/her team ready for a possible crisis situation? Are they using the best possible instruments? Carrying out the best possible procedure? Poke your nose. Try to grasp as much as you can.
A doctor who informs you of all the complications and the nature and risks concerning your liposuction operation is the right doctor. The doctor also needs to provide an Informed Consent Form that guarantees that the surgeon will not to surgery on any other area of the body without your consent and that no other surgeon will participate in the surgery except the surgeon in question.
It is essential for your doctor to inform you about the certain and recurring risks of combining tumescent liposuction and giving the patient a considerable volume of intravenous fluids. If your doctor makes no mention of this, walk out on them.
