To make your liposuction consult a success, plan on discussing the following information with your doctor :
- List of previous surgeries
- Your past and present medical conditions
- Medication(s) you are taking
- Current weight and any weight loss goals
It should be noted that due to individual physical factors, not everyone will achieve the same results from liposuction. At your liposuction consult you will discuss with your doctor the factors that may affect your results such as gaining or losing a significant amount of weight, size and shape of the areas in question, and the quality of your skin. As part of the liposuction consult the areas of interest will be evaluated, measured, and photographed for your medical records. Options and a recommended course of treatment along with the outcome and risks will also be discussed. Your personal desires are key in the decision making process.
