Liposuction: The Super-Wet Method

Liposuction is a way for patients to shape their bodies into a more physically appealing form. The procedure involves removing fat deposits from unwanted areas of the body. There are several different procedures a surgeon could use to perform liposuction. The super-wet procedure is one just one method used today. It has its advantages, however; as with any form of liposuction, it carries its own possible risks and complications.

To understand the super-wet method for liposuction, we must first look at the tumescent technique. This procedure actually takes longer for the doctor to perform; however, it has proven to be a safer technique than the traditional methods. In performing the tumescent technique, the surgeon injects a large volume of liquid into fatty deposits in order to remove the fat. The super wet method is very similar to the tumescent, however less fluid is used. The amount of fluid used, is usually equal to the amount of fat that will be removed. However, there is more blood loss with the super-wet method than with the tumescent technique. Approximately 8% of the fluid removed through super-wet is blood, unlike the tumescent technique, where only 1% of the fluid removed is blood. The advantage is that the procedure only takes one to two hours to perform, unlike the tumescent, which typically takes four to five hours. Since there is less chance of too much fluid being introduced into the body, super-wet liposuction is found to be safer than the tumescent method.

Before deciding to undergo any type of cosmetic surgery, please consult with a doctor.
During consultation, these are some questions you could consider asking the doctor: "What type of technique do you use for liposuction? and/or "How long have you been using this technique?

Transumbilical Breast Augmentation - T.U.B.A.

Transumbilical breast augmentation or T.U.B.A., is a method of breast enhancements where the implants are inserted through the patientís belly button under the skin to the chest. Because they are inserted through the belly button, the breast augmentation leaves no scar. The plastic surgeon must be specially trained, and uses specific tools and an endoscope (a surgical instrument with a tiny camera and light) which enables the surgeon to see under the patient's skin.

A thin surgical instrument is inserted into the naval up through the breast area under the skin. Tissue expansion is done in the breast before the breast implant is inserted and then filled. The procedure is usually done on an out-patient basis. The advantages of this surgery are reported to be a more natural look along with less time spend in surgery, less anesthesia, less down time, and, of course, no visible scarring.

High Definition? Vision, LASIK
(CustomVue? Individualized Laser Vision Correction)
The VISX CustomVue, WaveFront (WaveScan) Technology is the most advanced laser vision correction available today: This technology is a marriage between the VISX Star S4 Exicmer Laser and the WaveScan? mapping system, which is a proven vision correction tool.

The VISX Star S4 Excimer Laser is composed of the patented VISX variable beam technology and the three-dimensional active eye-tracking system, which detects and compensates for eye movements by guiding the laser beam to keep it centered over the desired treatment area.

WaveFront technology was originally developed for use in high-powered telescopes to reduce distortions when viewing distant objects in space. This technology is incorporated into the WaveScan? diagnostic system which allows our doctors to now identify, measure, and correct imperfections in a patient?s eyes 25 times more precisely than with standard methods used for glasses and contact lenses.

Using WaveFront technology in conjunction with the Star S4 Laser, Doctors can take the digital information gathered by the WaveScan and develop an individualized treatment plan that can be transferred directly to the laser for a precise ?High Definition? vision correction never before possible. You can achieve the full benefit of having your personal best vision, a level of quality virtually impossible to achieve with glasses or contact lenses. Patients 21 years of age or older with nearsightedness or astigmatism in the approved range of correction may be a candidate for the Custom LASIK procedure.

An FDA Approved Procedure
The effectiveness of the Custom LASIK procedure is underscored by the results of a national clinical study conducted by VISX, Incorporated for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

According to results from the FDA study, at one year after the procedure, 100 percent of the people whose vision was corrected with the Custom LASIK procedure could pass a driving test without glasses or contact lenses. Ninety-eight percent of the people treated with Custom LASIK had 20/20 or better vision at one year after the procedure, and 70 percent of those people could actually see better than 20/20 without glasses or contact lenses.
