Talking Points


	Benefits of Cosmetic Surgery: Psychological studies have shown that cosmetic plastic surgery improves patient's quality of life and perceptions of well-being.
	Lipoplasty Safety: Lipoplasty has an impressive safety record. However, all surgery carries risk. The training, experience and surgical judgment of the operating physician are essential factors in lipoplasty safety.
	Informed Consent: Patients should be fully informed of the risks and benefits of the procedures they desire.
	Multiple Cosmetic Procedures: Undergoing multiple cosmetic procedures, simultaneously or over a period of time, is not unusual. People today live longer and, increasingly, seek to achieve and maintain an appearance that matches their self-image at every stage of life. Millions of normal men and women elect plastic surgery as a means to enhance their overall sense of well being.
	Nonsurgical does not mean nonmedical. Help to ensure the safety and effectiveness of nonsurgical procedures by seeking treatment from qualified personnel in a medically-supervised setting. Be careful if you elect to have a non-surgical procedure done in a salon or day-spa.
