St. Louis Laser Liposuction Center VS. National Liposuction Chains
Any time a patient is seeking a surgical procedure they should hopefully seek a well-qualified surgeon to perform the task at hand. Of course, some surgeries are much more serious than others, but for those looking to trust their wellbeing in the hands of another, it would be wise to do solid research on the facility and surgeon in question beforehand. Liposuction procedures are now somewhat commonplace in today’s culture and thousands of people undergo this procedure every year. Many newer “chain” facilities like Sono Bello and others have popped up offering liposuction the quick and easy way. When you do business with the national corporate organization, your relationship is with a corporation and its employees, not an individual surgeon who is solely responsible for his or her work. Before signing up with popular chain liposuction organizations that are often well-advertised online or on television, consider the following comparisons regarding St. Louis Laser Liposuction Center vs. national liposuction facilities:
| At St. Louis Laser Liposuction Center the cost we quote upfront is what you can count on. We don’t add any additional fees along the way. | Popular liposuction clinics excel at attracting new patients with advertised low prices, but they often add several additional fees after the process is underway. |
| Patients can feel well taken care of knowing that an actual doctor will meet with prospective clients upon the first visit to discuss their questions and concerns regarding liposuction. | National liposuction chain offices place their inquiring patients with a sales consultant at first to help “sell” them on liposuction instead of discussing their individual situations. They charge extra fees to meet with the doctor on the first visit. |
| St. Louis Laser Liposuction Center patients can count on the doctor performing the pre-operative examination before surgery where their overall health is assessed to ensure a safe liposuction treatment. | Most national liposuction organizations do not offer pre-operative examinations before giving the green light to patients seeking liposuction. |
| Patients of Dr. Wright and his staff at St. Louis Laser Liposuction Center will require compression garments after liposuction surgery. These are provided completely free of charge to every patient after the liposuction is complete. | Most competitors charge their patients extra for the necessary compression garments post-surgery. |
| No facility-related fees or anesthesia fees are charged to our liposuction patients. | Competitors can charge thousands of dollars in the facility and other fees when all is said and done. |
| St. Louis Laser Liposuction Center provides supplements to reduce post-surgery bruising free of charge. We also offer free silicone product samples to our patients with the intention of scar reduction. | Patients who are interested in bruise-reducing supplements and/or silicone products to lessen scarring can expect to pay for them as an extra charge. |
| Dr. Wright treats every patient with personalized care and spends as much time before, during, and after the procedure as necessary to achieve optimal results. | The patient is in a relationship with a corporation. The policies and treatment are dictated by corporate policies, which by charter prioritize profit. National chain facilities tend to treat their patients in an assembly-line fashion. Procedures are often performed with a “one size fits all” mentality, so doctors are able to fit in as many liposuction procedures as possible in one day. |
