Cosmetic treatments such as breast implants, breast lift, tummy tuck surgery, buttock lifting and liposuction (liposuction assisted lipectomy) require extensive consultations with Dr Nara to understand the nature, risks and recovery of surgery.  The risks of surgery can be read here. The training and experience of Dr Nara and his team being specific to cosmetic surgery will help you to understand your cosmetic goals better in an honest, open and balanced approach.

What are the 5 things important prior to liposuction (liposuction assisted lipectomy)?  Let's understand the fundamentals.

• It may not work!  Yes, something you do not want to hear.  Whether you like it or not, sometimes the news is disappointing.  Not everyone is suited for this.  You need to be medically assessed beforehand.  Many patients, whether young or elderly, may have undiagnosed medical problems that they did not even realise they had.  Or if you had pre-existing issues, these may need to be re-investigated for the interests of your safety.  Therefore, if an individual is medically unfit, this will exclude you from cosmetic surgery.  You must be assessed thoroughly by your surgeon and not by anyone else during the consultation process.  Dr Nara had a meeting with Dr Satish Kumar the director of the general practice at Cooee on the north west coast of Tasmania this week to discuss the importance of looking after your health through medical optimisation, having realistic expectations, and especially being aware of any medical issues that requires early medical intervention to prevent the severity of illness.  Principles of medicine are important particularly to maximise the results of cosmetic medicine and surgery!  If you are around the vicinity and would like to optimise your medical wellbeing feel free to drop in at Dr Kumar's clinic by clicking here to book your appointment.

• Diet and exercise.  This is something we all know too well about.  We also hear about this daily.  But, there is great truth in this.  Did you know if you exercise well, it improves your heart function, blood sugar levels, sleep pattern, weight control, bone density, and mental status?  These are just a few benefits to exercising.  The diet component is even more important than exercise.  If you cannot control what you eat prior to liposuction (liposuction assisted lipectomy) it is best to delay your surgery to a date where you feel you are ready.  You must have a stable diet and exercise regime about 6 months before liposuction.  If this is not done, you will be left with disappointment because any surgery is not a lifetime fix since we are not objects.  We change in time because we are human beings.  One powerful tip, is to start drinking an extra glass of water daily and watch the difference in your life!  Dr Nara encourages all his patients to have a good healthy lifestyle.  Click here to understand more.

• Expectations.  Your expectations cannot be met by just meeting your surgeon for 10 minutes.  You must spend time with the surgeon that is going to do your surgery so that you both understand clearly what your expectations will be.  This allows you to understand the training your surgeon had, their respective skill and experience in liposuction.  At RevAesthetic, Dr Nara provides an exclusive comprehensive cosmetic consult to understand you better and listen to your concerns.  Your appointment will be greater than 45 minutes.  In addition, there is a second complimentary consult prior to your surgery.

• Dual effect.  Basically, it can be fun! Prior to surgery, if you have a partner, family member, or friend, it is helpful to try and get them involved!  How so?  They too can be invited to improve their diet, exercise and lifestyle.  This has to be done ethically and carefully so as not to force your partner into extremes of diet and exercise. This may stir them away from healthy living.  You can suggest some ideas and special tips about how to generate a dual workforce with a gentle approach to improve your lifestyles simultaneously.  Did you know thay Dr Nara has many patients who  have partners that join in to improve their lifestyle?  Did you also know, that when this happens, it will improve your chances of maintaining your weight and healthy habits.  One easy way to start is to increase the intake of green leafy healthy yummy vegetables in your diet!

• Ask questions! Dr Nara wants all his patients to ask good questions prior to any cosmetic treatment especially liposuction (liposuction assisted lipectomy).  Most patients that come to see us have an idea as to what they want to achieve.  Some patients may decide to have non-surgical treatments to alter the shape and contour of their body.  This is possible, however, in some cases the best results may be achieved through tailored liposuction.  Our amazing patients sometimes, need to be guided as to what options would best suit them which then allows them to ask even more questions.  This is why the cosmetic consultation process cannot be ignored.
