Why do you not have before and after pictures on the website?
Before and after pictures on websites can be misleading as they may not be patients of the surgeon who will be doing your Liposuction.
As every person waiting Liposuction has completely different expectations and areas of concern it is a much more valuable tool for your Consultant Plastic Surgeon to show pictures of not only Liposuction procedures that he as actually done but also show you results you will be likely to receive.
