My advice to all is be very careful when going for liposuction. It is not something to be treated lightly as I nearly die from it.

I am not able to reveal who the doctor is but I just like to warn everyone to be careful

Can you PM your doctor?

I know how you feel as I am a victim myself.

Can PM me the doctor as I going for it next month?

Is he a GP or Surgeon?

Please PM where you have your liposuction done.

Hi,

I'm hesitating whether want to go for my Lipo because i'm afraid of side effect and from what you mentioned that you nearly die makes me scared.

Regards,
Tracy

Dear Gals,

I received many PMs on what exactly happen. Sorry I have been advise by the moderator that I am not able to disclose the doctor name. It is for my own good.

The purpose of my message is not to slander any clinic or doctor or bad-mouth any GP or the procedure. The purpose of my post to warn everyone that do not take such procedure lightly.

I used to think it is 100% safe because many have been doing it but I fail to understand that in every surgery there is always risk and complication involved. Maybe I am just unlucky

Few things you need to take note ...

In my pursuit in seeking a doctor and after the procedure, I discover many things ...

There are many reason why procedure can be expensive and some are not (we are only talking about doing it in Singapore).

- The doctor reputation has a big part to play, if the surgeon is famous, he will command a higher fee.

- There is a different between the fee when you surgery is done by a surgeon and a physician. Remember to ask.

- Just remember doing X number of procedures does not = X number of successful or satisfactions.

- If you are performing in a clinic, Physicians are NOT allowed to remove more than 1 litres of FATs from you. That is the MOH guideline, many patient may think that you pay so much but only removal of 1 litre of fats?? Depending on your current size, removal of 1 litre of fats may have "minimum" result. Unlike GP that cure you of illnesses, Cosmetics physicians or surgeon are result-driven.

- There is a reason why you need to be hospitalized and not discharged immediately when more than 1 litre of fats is removed. During tumescent liposuction, large amounts of fluids are injected. At the same time, some fluid is removed in the fat tissue. This may result in a fluid imbalance , if not recognized and treated may result in serious conditions such as pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs), or heart or kidney dysfunction.

- BUT if your procedure is to be carried in a hospital, than it will be EXPENSIVE.

- It is not easy to sue a doctor in Singapore. If you are lucky, settle with him directly if you are not satisfied.

- To sue a doctor, you will normally need a overseas professional opinion that the complication is due to the surgery.

Yes of course, you can complain to SMC but that will not get you back a cent.

Something for all to think about it ...

I am not for or against this aesthetic treatment but you really have to weigh the pro and con if you decide to go ahead with it.
