Botched Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgeries

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We’ve all seen ads warning us against undergoing lipo or cosmetic surgery. Should we heed these warnings, or is there a way to ensure a botched surgery won’t happen to you? We’ll describe some of the top causes of botched surgery:

 

It’s Not You; It’s the Doctor! – If you’ve experienced a botched surgery, you may be wondering if you did something wrong. For the most part—unless you did something explicitly against the doctor’s orders during your recovery period--it’s not you; it’s the surgeon. Though minimally invasive, lipo surgery is by all accounts still surgery, and as a result should only be exercised by a doctor who has studied and practiced for many years in the field.

 

Incorrect Tools – It's one thing to see a tempting offer for discount surgeries, and quite another to bite the bait only to find that these surgeons are operating inadequately in terms of their office equipment. The tools used during lipo or cosmetic surgery do matter. As an example, outdated tools could cause tissue damage, leading to lumps and bumps after the fact.

 

The Patient Does Not Adhere to Instructions – even if you go to the best surgeon on the planet, it’s also critical to follow all pre and post operation instructions. Your doctor, for example, may warn you against smoking in the week’s leading up to surgery, as this can prolong the healing process and increase the likelihood of scarring as an example.

 

Words of Wisdom

 

Now that you know some of the main causes of botched surgeries, how can you prevent this from happening to you? Here are some tips for patients who want to get surgery, but are fearful of botched results:

 

• -Steer clear of out of country deals, as these surgeons aren’t upheld to the same standards and qualifications as local surgeons.
• -Steer clear of steep discounts, or practices looking to cram in as many patients within a day. These practices place a higher emphasis on profits rather than safety.
• -Steer clear of too-good-to-be-true deals, as these usually are.

 

Consumers can furthermore research surgeons’ backgrounds and reviews easily online. Plus, if a botched surgery does occur, an experienced surgeon can usually correct imperfections.
