The American Association of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery offers a robust liposuction training course for practitioners of any skill level. The Basic Liposuction Training (LIPO 201) is one of the virtual and self-paced aesthetic courses that introduces the foundation for understanding tumescent liposuction and liposculpting. It is a prerequisite for the advanced aesthetic training program, which provides further skills and liposuction certifications to those who complete the class. Enrolling in these classes will put you one step closer to your liposculpting career goals.
Here are six things you will learn from AAAMS’s liposuction training.
History of Tumescent Liposuction and Liposculpting
One of the first topics covered in the training is the history of liposuction. This serves as the foundation of your education and leads you into the basics of the procedure and how it is performed on patients.
Fundamentals & Techniques
Depending on the needs of your clients, you may need to use a variety of techniques to get the desired results. AAAMS offers in-depth aesthetic training on several different techniques, such as microcannula liposculpting, power-assisted liposculpting, ultrasound liposculpting and laser liposculpting in the 201 course. Once you cover these basics, you will be able to move on to the advanced class where you will work hands-on with real patients.
Complications of the Procedure
An important part of performing liposuction is to understand the possible complications and outcomes of the procedure. Avoiding mistakes is crucial to a successful outcome and satisfied patients. Possible complications will be addressed, and ways to treat them will be explained. You will also go over the risks of systemic anesthesia and its effects on patients post procedure. Another important part of risk management is pre- and post-liposuction/liposculpting care. Informing patients about how to properly care for themselves after their procedure will help ensure that they have a smooth recovery, improving customer experience.

Hands-On Training and Surgical Techniques
A key part of this program is hands-on experience, and you will have the opportunity to perform your own tumescent liposuction and liposculpting on real patients. You will be able to practice the techniques you’ve learned about performing liposcultping procedures as well as how to handle liposculpting care.
