When searching for a surgeon specializing in liposuction (also known as liposculputure) it is important to focus on results and not just price.
Many surgeons will quote patients a certain price per area which is somewhat of an industry standard. This is done so that patients know the cost of surgery per area and the number of areas to be liposuctioned.
Dr. Carter also prices following the standard of per area; however, his major focus is being certain that the patient receives the results they are seeking and how many areas it will take to obtain that result.
If a full reshaping of the torso area is the patient’s desired result, this is a multiple-area procedure to achieve the ultimate hour glass silhouette.
Dr. Carter routinely explains to patients a full torso reshaping involves 4 areas of liposuction. Often patients will present to Dr. Carter and his staff with requests for liposuction of 1 or 2 areas while expecting to receive a total body transformation.
It is Dr. Carter’s practice to explain the results achieved through a total body torso reshaping cannot be accomplished through liposuction of 1 to 2 areas. As patients visit surgeons requesting pricing, it is important they determine how many areas are being liposuctioned for the quote they received.
And, will that number of areas achieve the results they are seeking?
Often lower quotes are given that are misleading for the patient especially as it pertains to the outcome they will achieve. A total body torso reshaping includes the back, sides, bra rolls, fat pads near the arm pits, upper and lower abdomen.
As you view various websites with before and after photos, often you’ll see only front and side view photos which is an indication of abdomen area only liposuction. A full body torso liposuction as is displayed on Dr. Carter’s before and after photos reflects liposuction of back, sides, bra rolls and fat pads near the arm pits in addition to abdomen liposuction.
Men and women do not gain weight in just one area such as the abdomen. The back area especially the bra roll area will not be corrected with abdomen liposuction. While most of us do not assess appearance by looking at our backs, this area collects and stores fat just as the abdomen does.
To be happy with the results you achieve, you need an honest assessment of areas that need liposuction to achieve those results. Requesting 1 or 2 areas because of a cost factor limits Dr. Carter’s ability to create the silhouette you truly want.
If a woman has as much fat in her back as she does in the abdomen, liposuctioning just the abdomen area will lead to dissatisfaction with the results. As liposuction is a very important step both surgically and emotionally, make sure you are fully informed of the results you will achieve by the choices made.
