Request for a "Petition for a Declaratory Statement"
"Petition for Declaratory Statement Before the Florida Health Department and Florida Board of

Seeking clarification on whether
i. I, as a Family Nurse Practitioner in the state of Florida, am able to legally perform laser
liposuction with subsequent autologous fat transfer procedure (with Beautifill machine, by
Alma)?
a. With my only training being that provided by the Alma company (9 hours of
observation of the procedure, followed by 6-8 hours of performing the procedure under the
supervision of a physician)?
b. If further training is required, what would this include - would this require me to
obtain an RNFA, perform a certain number of cases under direct physician supervision?
c. Am I able to perform this procedure in outpatient office setting (level i office
procedure, with less than i 000cc fat removal) - without a physician directly present (and only
available by phone)? (under a collaborating agreement with a plastic surgeon)
There is no documentation to state that APRNs in Florida can or cannot perform laser
liposuction with autologous fat transfers. This procedure harvests the fat in a low intensity
liposuction procedure (using only oral medications like Tramadol and Xanax, with tumescent
localized anesthesia used). There is not general anesthesia and the patient is awake and
oriented, able to physically move into different positions to assist the practitioner during the
procedure.
This legal gray zone - where it is not clearly documented in either the Board of Nursing or the
Health Department - is of concern to myself.
I am working at a medical spa that seeks to have this machine used by myself, an APRN. The
collaborating plastic surgeon is not trained in this particular machine and will not be on site for
these procedures, though available by phone contact. The procedure would require a crash
cart and does involve some blood loss, though reported to be minimal enough to not require
replacement IV fluids given.
