Are most patients satisfied with the cosmetic results?
Yes. Patients who understand the use of liposuction to improve contour and have realistic expectations are very happy with the results and see noticeable, often dramatic changes in their appearance. The human body, however, is not perfect and neither are surgeons, so those few patients that expect to achieve perfection will be disappointed. I only promise a 50 percent improvement, while I routinely deliver a far greater improvement. Small irregularities, minor lumpiness, and asymmetry (difference from one side to the other) exist in normal people before liposuction and to some extent will also exist afterwards. In fact, having these small irregularities provides a natural appearance. Accepting these minor imperfections allows the patient to see the greater good that is produced by the procedure. And in reality the minor imperfections are generally only seen on close inspection and those around you see what a great improvement you have made with the liposuction 17. Do you have knowledge
