In addition to the actual technique for performing tumescent liposuction, other aspects of the surgical procedure are covered in the course. Depicted in this photograph, is one the most important aspects of pre-operational duties, drawing contour lines on the skin overlaying the targeted adipose tissue. These lines are the surgeon's shorthand notation for the designated surgical sites. The contour lines also communicate the planned modifications to the patient, nurses and other surgeons. |

In the operating room, one-on-one instruction is intended to give the surgeon a significant hands-on experience. The “hands-on” portion of the course typically involves an instructor-to-student ratio of 6:1. The group of 12 doctors is divided into 2 groups and taken into 2 separate, spacious operating rooms. In this portion of the course, physicians will acquire skills that permit liposuction by local anesthesia without relying on narcotic analgesics, IV sedation, or general anesthesia. (The Nursing Course, given at the same time as Liposuction 101, has a limited enrollment of 6 nurses). |
