The Little Book of Lipo: Everything You Need to Know About Liposuction but Didn't Know to Ask

Unlike most books on cosmetic surgery that do a broad brush of all options and procedures, “The Little Book of Lipo” is a true insider’s guide to the most popular surgery in the country: liposuction, its pros, cons, and how to prepare, get the most out of it, and recover safely and fast. Not only does author Carol Martin give you the power to analyze whether to lipo or not to lipo, she offers a step-by-step consumer’s guide on how to choose a top surgeon, from checking credentials to a list of questions to ask, how to prepare your house, friends, family, overcome any fears, the right diet and danger signs to look for while healing—everything you need to know but didn’t know to ask. “You can trust what you learn from this book. There is no agenda here except to educate the consumer,” says Dr. Vince Zubowicz, a top Atlanta plastic surgeon who wrote the forward. “You won’t find this kind of unbiased information in the yellow pages or a website.”

5I'm glad I read this book  Aug 14, 2008
I'm a male and for some time I have been considering having liposuction. I know there are plenty of sucessful results, and I have heard the stories of disasters as well. I have been overly cautious in making the decision to move forward. I have some fat pockets that I do not want to live with if I dont have to. I learned more from The Little Book of Lipo than I had gleaned from reading hundreds of websites, surgeons brochures, or visting with docs in their office for consultation. This book tells it all, including plenty of information I had not even thought to consider. I still have made no decision, but I am now informed. The book is a great little read for anyone considering the lipo procedure.

2Not helpful book on liposuction  Jul 28, 2008
I bought the book, hoping to get copies of it for my patients who are about to undergo laser assisted liposuction. Not only is there very little on laser assisted liposuction it basically stays with the subject of traditional liposuction with a tiny blurb on laser applications.

My practice is an internal medicine/laser practice and the author states in several chapters how careful a patient must be on choosing their doctor and that the doctor must be a plastic surgeon. There are many specialties of doctors offering the procedure and to omit all general physicians from performing it would be to omit many outstanding physicians. The book is too repetitious in this subject instead of just stating her opinion once on physician selection.

I gave it to my practice partner to read and stated that we would be unable to offer it to our patients or they would go running from us. It is my firm belief that liposuction has advanced to laser assisted lipo and that qualified laser physicians can offer a beautiful procedure, which is half art, half science. That is, sculpting the areas of treatment requires a keen eye for symmetry and outcome.
