Liposuction, like any cosmetic surgery procedure, is a personal journey for a patient. They should make the decision to choose liposuction only after they are completely convinced and have a reasonable understanding of all aspects of the surgery. They should ask questions from the liposuction surgeon and clarify any lingering doubts or concerns.
Patients who go ahead with liposuction after due deliberation, and after considering all the pros and cons, they will usually feel more satisfied in the end. A dedicated liposuction surgeon will provide answers to all questions of the patient in a detailed and accurate way. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Eugene Kim provides liposuction to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, CA, and surrounding communities.
