Confusion about Liposuction is on the Rise.

The competitive world of medical technology is always trying to build the better tool for liposuction. We have reached a point in the medical arms race where there is confusion as to the ‘best’ way to perform liposuction or body shaping. Monthly, the list of various techniques seems to lengthen: traditional, tumescent, ultrasound, water, tickle, laser, vaser, smart, external ultrasound, radio-frequency. And, let’s not forget ‘non-surgical’ liposuction, like mesotherapy, and cool liposculpture. The list keeps growing. As they say, there must be fifty ways to lose your blubber. The claims of one system’s benefit over another’s are clouded in marketing hype and promotions. It seems that one system will drift off as interest wanes, only to be replaced by the “new and improved” next generation.

So what really is the best way to complete liposuction? Our practice focus is, and always will be, on the result. The procedure is matched to the individual’s needs with an emphasis on a safe and pleasant experience. It is not the tool, or the liposuction system, that gives dramatic body contouring and previously “unseen” superior results, as ads may claim. It is the skill and artistic ability of the surgeon that will give you an excellent result. Some systems may be easier in one instance or another, but skill and judgment trumps all of them. Michelangelo might have changed chisels over time, but we bet that the results have been the same no matter what he used.

With your liposuction, set your focus on the best result as we do, and worry less about the best tools to get you there.
