You CAN Redefine Your Physique
And We Can Help

Are you a formerly athletic guy whose body's gotten "out of control" as you get older?

You're not alone!

We all get more sedentary as we mature. Sedentary bodies collect fat in predictable places – in the midsection and the neck & chin.

You can join a gym or play basketball on weekends, but it's an uphill battle. Your body was accustomed to a high level of daily activity. It thrived on constant movement.

Now that you're spending so much time sitting in meetings, sitting at your computer and driving the kids around, you just can't burn fat the way you did before.

The Three Main Fat Build-Up Areas
  • Midsection ("Love Handles")
  • Abdomen
  • Neckline
Then There's Genetics – Gynecomastia

The fourth area where certain men need help – fatty tissue gathering around the pectoral muscle – isn't a lifestyle problem but a genetic one. Some men just develop breast-area fat, whether their "pecs" are toned or not.

Liposuction is the one and only way to solve this problem.

 

Vaser LipoSelection

You'll be glad to know liposuction has evolved over the years. We now have a kinder, gentler liposuction technology called Vaser LipoSelection. It minimizes pain, bruising and swelling by taking a precision approach to fat removal.

Using Ultrasound to dissolve fat cells, it employs precision cannulas (fat-removing tubes) that leave nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue largely undisturbed.

FACT: An independent, peer-reviewed study reported that patients treated with Vaser Technology experienced none of the complications common to traditional liposuction such as burns, prolonged swelling, abnormal sensation and skin cell degradation.


Precision Makes All the Difference

There are other advantages to Vaser's tissue-selective technology:
  • The precision instruments result in a smoother, more even appearance to the skin than with traditional liposuction.

  • The VASER is so focused it can be used at half the applied power compared to other devices.
What happens during the VASER LipoSelection procedure?

1. First, the area to be sculpted is filled with a special solution that includes epinephrine, which shrinks blood vessels to help reduce bleeding and bruising, and lidoaine, an anesthetic agent that helps numb the site.

2. This solution wets and fills the area to be treated, making fat easier to break up.

3. Then a small probe transmits sound energy (similar to that used for cataract removal in the eye) that breaks up fat on contact, leaving other important tissues relatively intact.

4. Finally, suction and massage of the sculpted site removes the emulsified fat quickly.

This is done under general anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical suite close to our office. You're unaware of what is happening -- you go to sleep and awaken post-operatively.

How Long Does It Take?

Total time depends on how many areas are being treated. Usually we spend about an hour on each area.

What is the recovery like?

Two to three days' rest is required, and then you can get back to doing normal work. But strenuous activity and exercise should be avoided for three weeks.

After 10 days the swelling subsides and the bruises heal, but it takes three weeks for the results to be seen. You will be asked to wear a compression garment during this time.

Will I be satisfied with the procedure?

Liposuction has a very high success rate.

When you finally get rid of that sloppy midsection bulge, that embarrassing fat around your pectoral muscles, or whatever issue you've been unhappy about, you'll get a real lift. Your self-confidence will go up. It's a nice feeling.

A Consult Helps

There's a lot to this procedure that can't be explained in a short article, so the best way to find out whether Vaser LipoSelection is for you is to come in and talk about it.

Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure in America. All those happy campers must know something!
