take?

enhance the affects of buttocks liposuction?
- What kind of anesthesia is used?
- How will you manage fluid balance during the procedure?
- How will my recovery be monitored immediately after
surgery?
- What is your experience in performing this procedure?
(How long has he/she performed this procedure, and how many he/she
has performed in the past year?)
- What percentage of patients have had significant complications?
(The physician should disclose this information to you.)
- Will you repeat or correct procedures if it does not
meet agreed upon goals? And if the procedure must be repeated
/ corrected, will I be charged again? (The physician should provide
you with his/her policy on this issue.)
- May I see "before and after" photos of recent patients?
The physician should provide many photos of recent patients.

recent buttocks liposuction patients? (Follow up to get first-hand
information on the procedure and the surgeon.)

before I decide to have the surgery? (Either on videotape or ask
to view one in real life.)
- What should I expect post-operatively, in terms of
soreness, what to watch for, medication, bathing, and level of
activity?

their qualifications? (Does the plastic surgeon perform the entire
surgery?)
