Before you select a physician to perform liposuction surgery take the time to make sure the physician has back up equipment in the unlikely event something goes wrong.

Perhaps the most important thing to determine is whether the physician has a reserve liposuction aspirator. If there is no backup available then the surgeon will be compelled to stop the procedure until one can be obtained.

Another important piece of backup equipment is an electrocardiograph monitor. This is essential for keeping the physician informed on the condition of your heart.
