Liposuction (cont.)

Controversies in Liposuction

Every method has its pros and cons, and many types of surgeons perform liposuction. The most important qualification to check is actual results either in photographic form or via speaking with previous patients. This will inform you if the surgeon does a good job consistently, stands by his or her results, cares for the patient well (both before and after the surgery), and handles any complications in a prompt and thorough manner.
 
Many variations of liposuction have been devised over the years, including ultrasonic liposuction, laser liposuction, the "wet" method, and the "super-wet" method of liposuction. The data simply doesn’t show any significant difference when these results are compared with the traditional and tumescent procedures.
