WHY DO SO MANY SURGEONS FAIL TO USE NEW LIPOSUCTION TECHNIQUES?

A Harvard study has been made assessing the source of a modern physician's education. As it turns out, the formal education and the subsequent fellowship are responsible for the minimal amount of practical education. Since so much change occurs every year, physicians are routinely overwhelmed with information.

The well-known motivational speaker Tony Robbins indicated how human resistance to change is often motivated by an informational overload. In the case of plastic and cosmetic surgeons, it would take a continuous dedication to self-improvement and constant re-education to be at the forefront of Aesthetic Surgery Technique.

Many surgeons simply do not want to bother. So many continue to use the same old techniques that they learned many years ago in school, during residency and training. A surgeon will hopelessly fall behind, unless such surgeon is a true leader in his or her field of expertise, developing his or her own original techniques and learning unique procedures from other creative physicians.

CAN ANY PHYSICIAN PERFORM LIPOSUCTION?

At present it is very difficult for some doctors to make a living with insurance patients. This causes many of them to turn to plastic surgery. You will see general practitioners, dermatologists and even urologists do cosmetic procedures.

Most untrained doctors will not venture into such difficult realms as facelift, tummy tuck or rhinoplasty. However, many of them feel that they can perform something " simple" like liposuction.

Be very careful. Liposuction only appears simple. In untrained hands it could become very dangerous and even debilitating, producing a host of side effects and damage.

Furthermore, there is an issue of experience and artistry. The difference between a good and an ordinary Liposuction is akin to the disparity between a classic Greek sculpture and a sculpture produced in an art class. Do not choose just on the basis of price. This is your body. Go for the best.

ANESTHESIA

Dr. Chugay utilizes a combination of local anesthesia and IV sedation. You will be asleep and comfortable during the procedure. The risky general anesthesia is not used. The tumescent solution itself provides significant local numbing, as well. LEARN MORE ABOUT ANESTHESIA.

AFTER SURGERY

Liposuction is a surgical procedure, and your body has to heal before you see the full benefits. Your results will likely be visible within two or three weeks, but the full effect may not be fully evident for six months to a year after surgery in some cases.

You should maintain a balanced diet and exercise regularly to fully enjoy the new you for years to come. Many patients find that their Liposuction is such a psychological boost that it gives them the incentive to exercise even more than before to improve other parts of their physique. With realistic expectations, most patients are pleased with the improvements from their Liposuction procedure. The goal is for you to be more comfortable with your body and happy with your new shape.
