What to Check Before Booking Vaser Liposuction Surgery

Before booking Vaser liposuction, it’s essential to thoroughly research both the surgeon and the clinic to ensure safety and quality results. 

So what should you be looking for?

We’ve built this easy to use checklist that you can take to your consultation.

1. Surgeon’s Qualifications & Experience:

• GMC Registration: Ensure the surgeon is registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) if in the UK. Dr Asher Siddiqi is GMC registered.
• Specialisation: Confirm the surgeon specialises in Vaser liposuction and has substantial experience with the procedure.
• Before & After Photos: Request to see before and after photos of previous patients with similar body types and target areas.

2. Clinic Safety:

• Sterility & Equipment: Ensure the clinic maintains high standards of cleanliness and uses up-to-date equipment.

3. Procedure Details:

• Anaesthesia Type: Clarify whether the procedure will be performed under local anaesthesia, sedation, or general anaesthesia. At Liposhape, it is usually local anesthetic unless there are several areas done at once.
• Duration: Understand the expected duration of the procedure and recovery time.
• Areas Treated: Confirm which areas of the body will be treated and discuss any limitations.

4. Cost Transparency:

• All-Inclusive Pricing: Ensure the quoted price includes all aspects of the procedure, such as consultations, anaesthesia, garments, and aftercare.
• Payment Plans: Inquire about available payment plans or financing options, if needed.

5. Recovery & Aftercare:

• Compression Garments: Confirm if compression garments are provided and their duration of use.
• Follow-Up Appointments: Ensure there are scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing and address any concerns.
• Post-Operative Care: Discuss the level of post-operative care provided, including contact availability for any questions or issues.

6. Patient Reviews & Testimonials:

• Online Reviews: Research patient reviews and testimonials to gauge the clinic’s reputation and patient satisfaction.
• Consultation Feedback: Pay attention to your experience during the initial consultation, as it can be indicative of the overall service.

Ask Dr Asher:
