Innovations In Liposuction: Results with Less Risk, Little Downtime & Minimal DiscomfortGuest: Eclipse
The increase in the popularity of liposuction has led to gentle, new techniques that developers say not only improve results and reduce risks, but also drastically speed up recovery time. In today’s segment, we focus on Bodyjet Liposuction, a water-assisted technology approved by the FDA in summer 2008. It’s being hailed as a faster, much gentler way to remove fat, with less risk because it requires only a local anesthesia. Patients are generally able to drive themselves home after the procedure, and to carry on many of their normal activities as soon as the next day. We’ll watch the procedure as it’s performed, and learn all about it from plastic surgeon Dr. Roger Bassin.
