Question: I have a couple of questions! First how do I burn fat off my stomach? And secondly, is there any way to make my butt bigger without surgery?
Answer Great questions! Improving those two areas on your body are common concerns and can be done using both surgery and natural techniques! When dealing with fat on your stomach let me point out that we do not burn fat, we remove it. Removing fat from the adominal region can be done by doing liposuction or laser followed by liposuction, which is also known as Smartlipo. To learn more about liposuction services […]
Question: After lipo do you need a tummy tuck? Is there alot of skin left hanging?
Answer: You may or may not need both. It depends on an individuals skin elasticity. When a patient has rapid weight gains or losses (pregnancy for example) sometimes the skin does not bounce back. The patient can pull it away and it sags. So these patients, regardless of their age, need skin resection when that body part is addressed. Evaluating a persons skin elasticity is a key element for all body contouring procedures. The best way to evaluate that is to come in for a […]
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: Does freezing fat work? Is CoolSculpting® a reliable way to get rid of my bulges?
Answer: CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive fat reduction office-based procedure that is clinically proven and FDA approved. During the procedure your unwanted fat bulge is drawn into the Coolsculpting® applicator and your fat is cooled without damaging the skin. When the applicator is released, your fat cells start to crystallize. At that point, some cells will enter a process called “apoptosis” and others will die through an inflammatory process in the body. Over 8-12 weeks, your cooled fat bulge will shrink 20-25%.
Based on science developed by […]
Question: Does fat return to other areas of the body after a CoolSculpting® treatment?
Answer: Fat gain after CoolSculpting® can occur but not to treated area. The fat cells that get “crystallized” with Coolsculpting® die and get flushed out of your body and are permanently eliminated. If you gain weight, other fat cells around your body can expand. This expansion is not from the fat cells that were treated. It has been documented that 20 -25% of the fat cells in a treated area are permanently eliminated during a CoolSculpting® treatment. Coolsculpting® is excellent for reducing a bulge (like a bra […]

Question:
What Does A CoolSculpting Treatment Involve?
Answer:
First, our Certified CoolSculpting Provider will position the CoolSculpting device on the targeted area of your body. The device will then draw your bulge up between two panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure – but not so much that you need any anesthesia or painkillers. Each treated area is ‘cooled’ for one hour; the upper and lower abdomen would be considered “two different areas” unless the device can pull in the entire mid abdominal area then it is considered one area. Other common areas that would be considered “two areas’ of treatment […]
