Learn the science and technique behind one of the safest office procedures today

Liposuction is the #1 cosmetic surgical procedure and the demand is steadily increasing every year. Non-plastic surgeons have been safely performing liposuction for decades thanks to the technique of Tumescent Anesthesia which allows the procedure to be safely and effectively performed in a physician's office without any IV medications or fluids. Our course thoroughly trains the physician in the scientific theory behind the tumescent technique and leads the physician through every step in the process of administering the anesthesia and performing the case. With fees of $3,000 and more per case, liposuction can be a great addition to any practice both professionally and financially.

"Of all the CME courses I have taken in an effort to expand my medical practice, I can say without hesitation that Dr. Zengo's lectures have been the most memorable and enjoyable."

-Course Participant

Unlike most liposuction courses which are sponsored by a particular equipment manufacturer, our course takes an unbiased, evidence-based look at traditional liposuction, and micro-liposuction in addition to the new ultrasonic and laser-assisted liposuction technologies. Instruction will utilize high definition videos of the procedure with live commentary from the instructors.

"This was the most science-based lecture on liposuction I have ever attended. It was very organized and logical. it covered all of the physiology and basic science every doctor needs before performing liposuction surgery. I had done over 100 cases before taking this course and I still learned a lot from it."

-Course Participant

This course fully satisfies the classroom didactic learning requirement that is recommended by organizations like the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and by most liability insurance carriers.
