In this clip, we'll talk about finding a surgeon to do your procedure. You should use several
resources, to find the appropriate person to do your procedure. It should be someone
that's board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and you can find that
information online, or through your local Medical Societies. It also should be someone
that has privileges to do a procedure in the hospital. Typically, liposuction is not performed
in the hospital. Typically, it's an outpatient procedure, in a doctor's certified office,
or in a surgery center. However, if there is a problem related to your liposuction,
for example, an infection, which is very rare, or any other type of complication that may
need attention in a hospital. You want to make sure that your physician or surgeon,
is caring about you, and able to take you to the hospital, and take care of whatever
complication might be necessary to address, so the other criteria, would be to speak to
a friend, a family member. Someone with a personal reference, that's already been to
that surgeon, and has had a good experience, which will be helpful to guide you.
