What to expect during your liposuction consultation

The success and safety of liposuction depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation before surgery. You'll be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle.

Be prepared to discuss:

Why you want liposuction surgery, your expectations and desired outcome
Medical conditions, drug allergies and medical treatments
Use of current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs
Previous surgeries

Your plastic surgeon may also:

Evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors
Take photographs for your medical record
Discuss your options and recommend a course of treatment
Discuss likely outcomes of liposuction and any risks or potential complications
