It’s a Big Decision. Ask Questions.
Surgery of any kind can be scary. Elective surgery can be just as overwhelming, even if we feel sure that we’ll come out of it with the results we desire.
Terrell Clinic receives hundreds of calls each year with questions about our cosmetic procedures—especially liposuction.
We can hear the nervousness and excitement behind patients’ voices as they ask questions and weigh the options of an elective procedure and consider feeling more confident and enjoying the end results. As practitioners in the field of cosmetic surgery, we understand this and appreciate the weight of the decision.
Liposuction has come a long way since it was first introduced as a means to reducing fat in the body. Over the years, it has become less invasive and requires less downtime.
Most recently, VASERLipo® has produced groundbreaking results for patients in the area of cellulite reduction through VASERsmooth®. Combined, the two technologies allow the doctor to eliminate fat, while tightening and smoothing the skin.
Terrell Clinic was actually the first to bring VASER technology to Oklahoma and we remain the only clinic in Oklahoma City with VASERsmooth® technology to treat cellulite in addition to fat reduction.
Technologies have advanced and patients who are well prepared for the surgery enjoy remarkable, life-changing results. Despite this, making the decision to move forward with liposuction is a big one. If you’re seeking consultation or thinking about moving forward with liposuction, consider the following:
- Is your doctor using the most effective, least invasive technology to perform the liposuction procedure? Dr. Terrell is an enormous advocate for VASERLipo® based on the ultrasound technology it utilizes to gently and precisely contour the body. She’s the only doctor in Oklahoma City with state-of-the-art VASERsmooth® technology to treat cellulite at the same time that she’s eliminating extra fat. She also uses additional technologies, often in very precise combinations, to customize the procedure for each patient. Though this takes more time and expertise, Dr. Terrell’s patients benefit greatly by experiencing better results.
- How many procedures does your potential doctor perform in a day? Dr. Terrell limits her schedule to one liposuction procedure per day without exception. It is her policy to focus only on one patient at a time and provide all of the necessary attention required to perform liposuction for the most optimal results. This is in direct contrast to most clinics—which pack doctors’ schedules—and allows us to treat our patients as our number one priorities.
- Are you getting your questions answered? We’re all too familiar with the feeling of being rushed in the doctor’s office. Between overbooking and poor staffing, some practices lack the bedside manner required of someone going into and recovering from cosmetic surgery. Be sure that you are comfortable with the people you meet in the office and how you feel when you are receiving your consultation.
Liposuction is a life-changing decision. For many, it helps redefine how we feel on the outside to match how we feel on the inside. Your doctor and the technology used are the major factors you must consider as you move forward with this decision. Ultimately, when you find the right match, you are going to be thrilled with the experience and overall look and feel of your new figure!
