Liposelection Lets Surgeon Sculpt Your Body
From ABC News Sculpt your body with Liposelection
Brand-new outpatient plastic surgery techniques could give patients the body they want without spending hours at the gym or enduring a painful recovery and unsightly scars.
The new procedures can create a toned, muscular body and home in on the problem areas, Copeland said. One procedure can actually etch six-pack abs, another boosts flat behinds and another sculpts shapely ankles and calves.

It usually costs $5,000 and up, and recovery time is minimal because the incisions are small

How LipoSelection Works
How It Works
During the LipoSelection procedure, your physician identifies the target treatment areas.
The physician makes a tiny incision in the targeted area. A saline solution mixed with lidocaine and epinephrine is infused to help shrink blood vessels and numb the area to be treated.
The physician then inserts a thin probe that emits ultrasonic waves to emulsify fat on contact.
Once the fat is emulsified, it can be easily removed through the small incision with massage or suction.

2) Magnified representation on the right illustrates how - following LipoSelectionsm only by VASER® - nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue remain largely undisturbed.

Get Rid Of Flabby Arms With Liposelection
From NBC5i.com Liposelection targets flabby arms
Getting rid of underarm flab has been a challenge for plastic surgeons. Previous procedures could leave large scars or hanging skin, but a new technique effectively and quickly removes underarm flab.
The key to liposelection is ultrasonic sound waves. A doctor first makes two cuts less than half-an-inch wide at the patient's elbow and armpit, and then inserts an ultrasound probe through the incisions that melts the fat.
Liposuction removes the melted fat.
The procedure does not damage skin and leaves connective tissue intact, which allows healing after the liposuction procedure, said Dr. Kenneth Smart , a plastic surgeon at Centennial Medical Center.
The procedure takes about one hour per arm, and full results are seen in four to six weeks.
The cost for the procedure is about $3,000.
Smart said liposelection is not ideal for women who simply have have excess skin.

LipoSelection Removes Fat
From NBC 6 Liposelection uses ultrasound energy to remove fat
It's swimsuit season year-round in South Florida. Skimpy attire makes it harder to hide our bodies' imperfections.
Carlie Stene claims diet and exercise couldn't erase stubborn pockets of fat.
"There's the round thighs, touching of course. You've got the overhang there. You can't wear the low rise with that," Stene said.
So, she decided to melt them away.
"It's loosening up. It feels good. It comes out nicely," said Dr. Neil Zemmel.
Stene had liposuction with a new twist. It's called liposelection. In the procedure, a wand emits ultrasound energy that heats and liquefies the fat before it's removed.
"We actually apply the ultrasound energy internally and that ultrasound energy is extremely selective for the fatty tissue only," Zemmel said. "This allows the nerves, the blood vessels, the connective tissue to remain completely in tact while liquefying the fat only."
Some doctors claim liposelection contours the body better and it's a gentler procedure than standard liposuction, which means an easier recovery for patients like Maria Palacios

LipoSelection : Easier Liposuction
From ABC News Research Summary: Easier Liposuction
BACKGROUND: With an alternative to traditional liposuction called liposelection, the area of the body that is having fat sucked out is first flooded with a solution that contains epinephrine to reduce bleeding. An ultrasound probe is then inserted, and the liquefied fat is suctioned out.
APPLICATION: Liposelection can be performed on the legs, arms, abdomen, and chin -- virtually anywhere.
BENEFITS: According to Edmond Zingaro, M.D., unlike traditional liposuction, liposelection does not cause any harm to the other body structures. The procedure directs its attention specifically to fat, leaving the blood vessels, nerves and attachments from the skin to the muscles intact

Instant Six Pack
From DenverPost.com Instant six-pack
A Denver surgeon offers a solution for people tired of sweating and grunting their way to rippled abs
Forget about sweating through endless crunches in what - face it - is probably a hopeless quest for rock-hard and rippled "six-pack" abdominals reserved for bodybuilders and the genetically gifted.
Throw in the towel and whip out the wallet.
A Denver plastic surgeon, Dr. John Millard, is pioneering a technique for those willing to pay for perfection: muscle-bound torsos sculpted from the patient's own fat.
Millard in late 2005 learned the procedure from a Colombian artist-turned-surgeon, Dr. Alfredo Hoyos, and has performed 19 of the "high-definition liposelection" surgeries. The surgeons claim to be the first in the world to take America's most popular cosmetic surgical procedure - liposuction - from slimming technique to extreme muscle sculpture.
Colorado physicist William Cimino got Food and Drug Administration approval in 2002 for a surgical device that uses ultrasound waves to break up fat tissue without damaging nearby nerves and connective tissue
