BEWARE of Unsafe Standards for Liposculpture or Liposuction!
June 13, 2016

Recent advertisements in the Los Angeles and Orange County area have promoted a doctor who clearly states that he is not a “Board Certified Plastic Surgeon” and then goes on trying to convince his audience that he only does minimally invasive procedures to remove fat, not invasive “surgery” like real plastic surgeons. He states that you can even “drive home” yourself after your procedure.
It is unfortunate that the public still does not understand what is safe when it comes to plastic surgery!!!!
Any procedure that removes 1-10 lbs of fat IS INVASIVE by definition. The video on this doctor’s website should create a field day for our plaintiff attorney friends as several standards of practice in the performance of liposuction are severely questionable. Sterile technique, the location of surgery, and post operative care are all in question.

Who is liable for the patient who passes out in their car on the way home and crashes after having 5 liters of fat, fluid and blood removed. Is driving home after what is truly an invasive procedure in anyones best interest? Is this something that a reasonable surgeon in California should advocate?
Wow! Not only am I thrilled with my results, I also must say that this experience was so much easier than I thought it would be! From the virtual consultation, to the virtual appointments that I had after my surgery… they made it so easy to check in with my doctor. I don’t live in Newport, but it didn’t matter. I was still able to get the surgery that I wanted there! 10/10 would recommend!!
