Cellulite and Spot Fat Reduction
What is Gentle Lipo?
Gentle Lipo has less than 10% of the typical bruising of traditional lipo with zero down time. This procedure has less risk and fewer side effects because of the gentle treatment approach, and reduced tissue trauma. An initial consultation will determine whether you are a good candidate for Gentle Lipo. Areas treated include the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, and the flanks. The flanks are the area of the back including upper back fat (bra fat in women) down to the lower back or “love handles.” Most of our patients choose this service to be done on Friday, so they can return to work on Monday. When Gentle Lipo is performed, there is an intensive follow-up including a series of TriActive “laserdermology” treatments which hastens recovery.
Our Professional Experience
About 16 years ago, I decided that exercise alone was not enough, and I wanted to investigate the option of liposuction. I called upon every plastics person I knew (and some that I didn't.) I concluded that no physician I could find in the greater Orlando area really did liposuction well--One even told me that it was a sideline to his main plastics' practice--that of removing cancers from older peoples' faces. Instead, I went to Beverly Hills, California, where liposuction was respected as an art in itself.
I found a surgeon that I was confident had the experience I wanted, and I scheduled my surgery. The surgery itself went well with no complications. The recovery process was a bit tougher! During my follow-up appointment, as soon as my compressive garment was removed, I barely got the words, I 'm going to pass-" before I passed out. I quickly came to, lying down on a medical table in the physician's office. The last thing I remember seeing was my genital area being completely purple due to bruising. I have to say that for about 1 1/2 weeks I felt as if I had been in an auto accident, due to soreness and bruising. But, I had done my research, and these were expected consequences of liposuction under general anesthesia at that time. I believe I recovered better than most patients who had had the same procedure.
So, it was with quite a bit of forethought and consideration that I began exploring how this experience could be made more comfortable and safer for the patient. The result of that search is "Gentle Lipo," a technique that is much more gentle than traditional liposuction. We carefully select patients who we feel would get good results. Instead of being under general anesthesia, our patients are able to chat with us during the procedure and even assist in positioning to get the best results. Most patients find the procedure stress free, non-scary, and even interesting.
How does this differ from the new laser lipo procedures on the market? There are some HUGE misconceptions about liposuction done by laser. Most patients think there is no incision. That's not true. Most are unaware of the danger of internal and skin burns. We feel this is a fad that will undergo many improvements before we feel it is safe enough for any of our patients.

"My wife didn't think my 'love handles' were that lovely but losing weight and working out just didn't touch them. Your Gentle Lipo was so easy I was back to work the next day and I even forgot why I was tired in the afternoon." read more » |

is it REALLY Botox?
You’d think that after the problems Florida had a few years ago that this kind of thing would not still be happening, but it is. We’ve had patients describe treatments that didn’t sound like the Botox reconstitution was done correctly and some with results that don’t make sense from our experience with the product.
