Liposuction, also known as lipolysis, was first introduced in the 1960’s to offer the first surgical means to remove small deposits of fat. By the 80’s, liposuction techniques vastly improved with the introduction of suction-assisted lipolysis. Suction-assisted lipolysis involved the use of cannulas to infuse fluid into tissues and the use of a vacuum suction technique to remove unwanted fat. By 1985, the tumescent technique, super wet liposuction technique and other variations were introduced to offer more predictable results. By the 1990’s, ultrasound technology was introduced to facilitate fat removal by first liquefying the fat using ultrasonic energy.

Question:I had several surgeries for fibroid tumors, polyps and cysts resulting in a hysterectomy. I have an enormous abdomen (probably a lot of scar tissue too) now that I can’t get rid of. Should I pursue abdominoplasty or liposuction?
Answer: The best way to judge whether an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or liposuction is best for you would be by taking a look at your situation. Typically when your abdominal skin and subcutaneous tissue rolls over when you sit down, a tummy tuck is needed. When the abdomen has tight skin that bulges from fatty deposits which are diet and exercise resistant, […]
Question I am interested in having a neck lift. Can you tell me about the procedure. I heard it is a procedure?
Answer Depending on your situation perhaps a facelift or neck lift would help you reach your goal of a “tighter” yet not ‘too tight’ fresh faced look. If you have good skin elasticity liposuction is often used to remove little fat deposits in the neck area. As a result of the procedure the skin contracts and shrinks; therefore this may the solution to achieve the results you seek.

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 […]
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: Will liposuction of the neck give me a nice tight looking neck or do I need a neck lift?
Answer: To get a great result with liposuction of the neck without a true open neck lift you must be a good candidate for the procedure. If your neck has fatty deposits between the skin and the muscles and your overlying skin has good to excellent elasticity, properly performed minimally invasive liposuction of the neck will give you a smooth tight neck with youthful contours, without cutting skin and tightening muscles. Patients of all ages with good to excellent skin elasticity […]
