Why Choose Associates In Plastic Surgery To Get Rid of Unwanted Body Fat?

Our state-of-the-art surgical centers in New Jersey offer a modern environment for surgical procedures in which you can relax, confident that your procedure is in the best hands.

Case Study

This patient is a 32-year-old female who was working hard at diet and exercise. While she lost a significant amount of weight, she simply couldn’t get rid of the extra fat of her inner and outer thighs. She decided to undergo laser liposuction for her inner and outer thighs, with a great result. One of the reasons her procedure turned out so well is that she was a great candidate for laser liposuction. This is because she was already in a good routine with her diet and exercise, and that gave her skin an even better chance of contracting to give the nice result that is shown here.

Tumescent Liposuction

Tumescent liposuction is the traditional type of liposuction that we offer at Associates in Plastic Surgery in New Jersey. During this procedure, your unwanted areas of fat will be targeted. The area will be infused with a dilute combination of local anesthetic and epinephrine, causing the area to become swollen and firm. The injection of epinephrine causes the capillaries to shrink, which minimizes any type of surgical bleeding.

Both of these solutions make it easier for our surgeons to target your fat cells and surgically remove them using the cannula. The cannula will loosen, break up, and suction out the fat cells safely and effectively, leaving you with a slimmer, more attractive appearance once you’ve healed.

SmartLipo

Smartlipo™ (laser-assisted liposuction) is a great option for patients who meet the criteria. The Smartlipo MPX Laser Body Sculpting Workstation is ideal for treating small areas, especially for patients with localized fat deposits and lax overlying skin, which would only be made worse with traditional liposuction.

SmartLipo works by first heating the fat cells and emulsifying them. In addition to melting the fat, the blended wavelengths of the Multiplex technology coagulate and tighten the tissue and induce collagen production. Collagen is one of the building blocks of healthy and youthful skin, so SmartLipo treatments leave you with both less fat and tighter skin.

Vaser Liposuction

Another option for fat removal is VASER® liposuction, which is a form of ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) that uses ultrasonic technology. This form of liposuction involves our plastic surgeons transmitting pressure waves through the skin to break up fat so that it can be easily removed. The VASER also helps to tighten the skin—which standard liposuction does not do well. This procedure can be highly effective, as it helps our plastic surgeons to focus upon the right fat cells to remove in order to contour your body in a proportionate manner.

The majority of liposuction patients are able to go back to sedentary work within 1-3 days after liposuction. For a few days, there may be some swelling, bruising, and/or discomfort in the treatment area.

Early results begin to appear almost immediately following the procedure, and will continue to become more and more visible in the following weeks and months.
