1. Medical conditions-Does the candidate have any pre-existing medical conditions that might interfere with post-surgery healing and recovery?

2. Medications-Is the candidate taking any medication or herbal remedies that might increase his risk of complications during surgery or the healing process?

3. Will choosing to have this surgery cause the candidate a financial hardship or nightmare?

4. Weight Loss- Is the candidate considering this procedure as a method for losing weight or as a body contouring method?

Know all risks and procedural limitations!

1. Do you know and understand all risks and complications that are involved with liposuction surgery? Are you aware that, although rare, some of these complications can be fatal?

2. Do you understand that while most patients are satisfied with the results of their surgery that there is the chance that the procedure will not live up to your expectations? Are you mentally prepared to handle a negative outcome?

Make sure you understand all the answers to the questions that you may have asked your surgeon during the consultation:

1. Do you fully understand what liposuction surgery is and has your physician answered all your questions to your total satisfaction?

2. Have you read the informed consent carefully prior to your surgery date? Never sign anything of that sort without going over it with a fine toothed comb.

What to do before and after the liposuction procedure:

1. Have a thorough medical examination prior to having any surgery. Especially with liposuction surgery, it is essential that you know that you are in good enough health to withstand a surgical procedure.

2. Be sure to make arrangements for someone to drive you to and from the clinic on your surgery day. At the very least, you will need someone with you at the clinic when the procedure is over because you will not be able or allowed to drive yourself home.

3. Be sure to allow yourself time off work and other regular activities for a reasonable period of time after the surgery so you can allow yourself the necessary time for healing and recovery. The first few days after any surgical procedure are no time to test your limits.

4. Know what to expect in regards to pain and discomfort immediately following the procedure. Most pain and discomfort should begin to gradually subside within a week. If it has not let up after a couple of weeks, that might indicate a problem that requires your attention.

5. Do not be afraid to seek help if you feel that something is wrong, even after you are sent home. Complications can still arise after you leave the hospital or surgical clinic.
