How to find reliable liposuction surgeons

Sorry I havent updated in a long time. I’ve been having many school projects to rush for and complete. Thank goodness they are almost all complete now so I can focus on other more interesting things.

So I was looking through the backlog of comments I have and stumbled across a question sourcing for cheap liposuction in UK. Generally, the cost of liposuction in UK starts from £3,000. This fee includes doctor’s consultation fee, medical fee and hospital fee. This charge can be considered rather costly compared to other countries. The same procedure in Brazil or Hungary can go for a quarter lesser even in the same setting. In these countries, liposuction for areas like the face, tummy, thigh and arms are also very popular so you can rest assures that doctors there are professionally trained.

Of course, being in a foreign land also makes things more complicated. Sourcing for good and effective liposuction surgeons in these countries can be a little trickier. My best bet is go for the ones in more reputable and certified hospitals or clinics so at least you know they are credible and reliable. There are several international organisations that are present in countries around the world that have a board of certified plastic surgeons. For example, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) has a board of certified plastic surgeons present in 86 countries around the world. It was founded almost 40 years ago at the United Nations in New York to promote safe cosmetic surgery practices and an avenue for surgeons to discuss the latest cosmetic happenings and scientific technology. To qualify for membership in ISAPS, plastic surgeons have to undergo years of surgical specialty training, pass qualifying and certifying examinations in their respective countries (board certification), and be members in good standing in their national societies of plastic and aesthetic surgery.

Another international board you can check is the International Board of Cosmetic Surgery (IBCS). This non profit association conducts examinations around the world and applicants have to go through a stringent series of tests and procedures before they are certified.
For organisations, they have a list of doctors and surgeons who have been certified and also provide other tips before you go for any liposuction or cosmetic surgery.
