Liposuction may be performed in a doctor’s clinic, in an outpatient surgery center, or in a hospital. What matters MOST OF ALL is that the liposuction surgery is being performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, who is trained in such procedures within an accredited surgical facility.
Any plastic surgery, including liposuction, needs to be performed in operating rooms that maintain very high standards of cleanliness. All surgical instruments should be steam-sterilized. Cold sterilization of liposuction instruments is a sub-standard way of cleaning them.
Patients should always examine the doctor’s surgical facility before agreeing to surgery, making sure that it is well equipped with modern equipment and a staff who is well trained to diagnose and initiate treatment any surgical emergency.

Liposuction, when performed by an inexperienced surgeon or a non-licensed surgeon, can cause a lot of complications. Surgical infections, excessive bleeding, skin ulcerations, and nerve injuries are some of the risks associated with UNSAFE liposuction. To avoid these it is wise to choose a board certified surgeon and accredited surgical facility for the procedure. The doses of anesthesia should also be carefully administered by qualified, trained and experienced staff. Qualified and experienced surgeons use tumescent liposuction procedure to minimize blood loss. At safe surgical centers, the patient is also given attentive care to minimize post surgical edema (swelling) and bruising and to ensure a quick recovery.
