Waterjet Liposuction at Mount Alvernia Hospital

We did our first liposuction at Mount Alvernia yesterday. Things went smoothly once we got going. The nurses were fantastic, and were very pro-active in learning from Dyna how to prepare the fluids and work the machine. In fact, things flowed so smoothly once we started that I was able to complete the entire abdomen in just 2 hours (my average is 3 hours). Such bliss to work with an electric operating table!

I have had word from MoH too. They are now only interested in accrediting clinics for liposuction (under 1 litre fat). Doctors looking to operate at ambulatory surgery centres or hospital operating theatres are to be accredited by the individual institution. Sister Ee has helped me with accreditation for liposuction in Mount Alvernia, so everything is set for us to continue there.
