title: Technique variations in liposuction surgery.
abstract: My travels were not a disappointment because I had the privilege of seeing the little personality differences in each office--the tenor of the staff, the physical plant and how it was decorated, how important lunch is, how it is necessary for some to start early. But for being able to report the one and only best way to do liposuction, I can only say there is no such thing. It is proper for each physician to believe he or she is doing the procedure correctly. We may take our own little technique variations too seriously; they probably do not much matter.
