Liposuction and fat removal with VASER Body Sculpting, New York

VASER Lipolysis and Tumescent Liposuction

Too much fat in some places and not enough in others — Mother Nature's paradox.

Let VASER® LIPOSCULPTURE or SMARTLIPO™ / Laser Lipolysis dissolve your liposuction fears

Liposuction is the number one cosmetic procedure performed in the U.S.A. for both men and women. For men it's "love handles," women it's "saddlebags" and the "tummy pooch." Both would love their neck and chins touched up! For the past 25 years dermatologic surgeons have been pioneers in the advancement of micro-cannular tumescent liposuction, otherwise known as liposuction under local anesthesia. Accepted as a much gentler, safer, and refined technique, microcannular liposuction has become a standard of care amongst minimally-invasive cosmetic surgeons. Dr Frank is a pioneer in the field of minimally invasive liposuction and performs over 300 procedures a year in his state of the art, accredited surgical facility. Known for his expertise, Dr Frank lectures around the world and is published in peer-reviewed journals on the various devices and techniques in fat removal.

Finally there are advanced technologies called VASER® Liposelection, laser lipolysis and SmartLipo™ that dissolve fat cells upon contact with ultrasonic or laser energy delivered through a small sterile probe, advancing the tumescent microcannular technique to the next generation of precision and ease for both the patient and surgeon. With only local anesthetic and mild sedation, the fat is melted then gently massaged and suctioned out with tiny cannulas / instruments. No more visions of the jabbing, jarring and bruising of patients associated with traditional liposuction. A Friday procedure will have you back to work and play by Monday. For now, Dr. Frank's use and preference between the several available technologies is the VASER® procedure. SmartLipo™ and other laser lipolysis devices, at this time, are not the preferred. See the full length video of Dr Frank performing the procedure.

What Happens During VASER® Body Sculpting/Tumescent Liposuction?
During the procedure the area to be sculpted is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrinks blood vessels. This solution makes the area very wet and full, making the fat cells easier to liquefy and remove with the VASER® System's sound energy. After liquification, the fat is removed and a pressure garment is placed for 1-3 days to tighten the skin and avoid any bruising. Small incisions heal quickly and easily, without stitches. Generally, patients return to most daily activities within 48 hrs.

How Does The VASER® System Work?
How Does The VASER® System Work? The VASER® System generates sound energy similar to that used for cataract removal in the eye. Small probes transmit the sound energy to dissolve fat cells on contact. Gentle suction and massage of the sculpted site removes the dissolved fat cells quickly and easily.

What Areas Of My Body Can Be Sculpted?
VASER® Body Sculpting can be done effectively on the abdomen, "love handles", backs, thighs, hips, knees, arms, neck and chin.

Is VASER® Body Sculpting/Tumescent Liposuction Right For Me?
If you are healthy and looking for a fast, low-pain solution to your excess fatty tissue, you may be a good candidate for VASER® Body Sculpting. Although there are limits to the amount of tissue that can be removed, Dr Frank can assist you with your decision about potential areas for sculpting, the results you can expect, and the recovery process. Liposuction of any kind does not replace diet and exercise.

How Does VASER® Body Sculpting Work?
VASER® is a much gentler way of separating fatty tissues prior to removal, it differentiates between fatty tissue and other tissue such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissues that must be left undisturbed for good results. VASER® sound energy simply bounces off other types of tissues while dissolving the less structured fat cells. This makes VASER® Body Sculpting safer and results in less swelling and a shorter and more comfortable recovery.

Where Does The Doctor Perform My VASER® Body Sculpting?
Procedures are performed in a sterile, surgical environment in our surgically accredited office making the procedure safe, convenient and often less costly due to the absence of hospital care and an anesthesiologist.
