Participants will perform all aspects of actual liposuction cases in an actual physician's office setting. The course will apply all of the knowledge learned in our didactic course to show the participant how to fully care for the liposuction patient from the preoperative care and marking, through the performance of the procedure and the post-operative care.
These small-group classes are limited to no more than 2 doctors per session so the particpants can perform a significant part of the case.
Beware of hands-on courses with 10-12 participants and just one instructor.
The participant will learn and perform:
- Calculations of Tumescent Fluid Requirements
- Marking of the Patient
- Selection of Premedications
- Tumescent Infiltration
- Use of advanced technologies (Laser, Ultrasonic) in selected courses
- Performance of the suction phase of the case
- Endpoints of suction
- Post-operative care
- Instrument care and sterilization
- Safety considerations

"Great Lecturer... Couldn't take the time away from my practice for didactics so took the video course and did it in my office..! Great, clear concise. Gave me the basics. Flew to Athens, GA for the practical coure and did two cases in one day. I found it easy since I came from a surgical background and the level of case I was used to was technically more demanding than Liposuction. However, Dr Zengo's hands on approach was the ticket! Where the practioners do 100 % of the case. It made me better for my first few cases on my own. Highly recommended for the busy doctor!"
