Liposuction Advice in Australia
One of many professional organizations, where you can obtaing professional advice about liposuction in Australia:
Australian College of Cosmetic Surgery (ACCS)
The College has two Faculties – the Faculty of Surgery and the Faculty of Medicine. In theory, Fellows of the Faculty of Surgery (FACCS) have fulfilled the college’s training recommendations of three years basic surgical training and a minimum of two years specific cosmetic surgery training, after medical graduation. However, the ACCS was formed only in 1999, so many of its current fellows were “grandfathered” into the College on the strength of the training and experience they had at that date – which varied.
Fellows of the Faculty of Medicine (FFMACCS) are NOT certified by the College to perform invasive surgery, such as face lifts, breast augmentations and tummy tucks, only cosmetic procedures such as Botox injections, laser work and liposuction. Unfortunately, it does not seem possible to determine from the ACCS website which faculty an individual member belongs to. If you are seeking invasive surgery from a fellow of the ACCS, make sure he or she belongs to the Faculty of Surgery.
The ACCS has applied for recognition by the Australian Medical Council, but neither the College nor its training program has been recognised at this point and there is no guarantee that recognition will be forthcoming. There is no doubt that some FACCS are highly skilled at particular cosmetic procedures.
