Question:
What Alternatives Are There to Liposuction?

Answer:
No procedure has the safety and result profile that liposuction has, however, I believe that soon we will have safe chemicals that we will be able to inject that will dissolve small areas of diet and exercise resistant fat. Hopefully we will also have non invasive devices that will dissolve fat by heating it to higher temperatures that will reduce fat and also promote skin elasticity.

Question:
If I want to look my best for my wedding, (I am in my mid 30’s) who should I consult?

Answer:
First you should consult with someone like me, a Board certified Plastic Surgeon who will honestly review your options for helping to make your dreams become a reality. Brides want to look their best for many reasons. It is a very special day and most brides are photographed quite a bit. I always recommend a good skincare program but especially before the wedding, it is a good idea to ‘step it up’ with professional exfoliation like a Blue Peel or a Hydrafacial and for a woman in her mid 30’s step it up with a few units of a Neurotoxin (like Botox or Dysport ) or a thin filler to ease worry or smile lines that can make someone look sad or angry. If your jaw line is not as defined as it used to be, Liposuction of the Neck is an outpatient procedure that can have you back to work in 3 days with no telltale scars but can make a dramatic improvement in your profile, and a big difference in photographs.

In addition, some brides may want to consider Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift or Breast Reduction Surgery so that they can pick the dress of their dreams! This is very do-able. Other brides may want to wear their hair in an up-do hairstyle and want to finally address their prominent ears that have forced them to wear their hair down. Otoplasty (ear pinning) can definitely help a Bride address this issue.

Sometimes a little liposuction to diet and resistant fat pockets can make the difference in the wedding gown you choose. Click here for additional liposuction info and photos.

Ideally, 6 months before the wedding is the best time to see me. There are many options that although are very subtle and natural can make a dramatic difference.

We welcome you, your bridal party and of course, the mother of the bride and future mother-in-law! We would be honored to assist you!

There is nothing as effective as surgery to remove unwanted fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Unfortunately, it can’t stop there. What makes the outcome ‘successful’ longterm is when a patient continues to maintain proper nutrition, daily exercise and adequate sleep. Maintaining one’s diet and workout routine along with surgery will definitely contribute to long-lasting results that all patients (and doctors) want!

What I do is work with my patients pre-surgically and post-surgically to try and identify healthy lifestyles that will help maintain their liposuction results.

These patterns could be

1. Eating the wrong foods (excess of foods that are high in fat or starchy carbohydrates)
2. Not exercising daily
3. Not getting adequate sleep

This educational process is rewarding to me because I believe in helping my patients better understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
