Look Your Best: Dr. Lewis Feder and Peachy Deegan on Liposculpture
Syringe liposculpturing is technique developed by Dr. Pierre Fournier of Paris, France for the removal of localized deposits of fat. It is a significant modification of machine-assisted liposculpture invented by Giorgio Fisher of Italy in 1974.
Many people can maintain a proper weight or diet to a desired level, and yet are still not able to lose that fat from specific areas. Even a perfectly-proportioned upper body does not prevent the hips, abdomen or knees from accumulating excessive fat bulges or cellulite. The technique of liposculpturing, in properly trained hands, is one way to safely remove these fat deposits.
The technique of syringe liposculpturing has been used since 1985 in thousands of cases with good results and with few, if any, complications. Dr. Feder has personally performed more than 6,000 liposculptures and has also worked extensively in the United States and Europe with many other leading physicians.
A small puncture is made with a tiny sterile instrument in an inconspicuous area, away from the bulge. A special surgical instrument, called a canula is inserted which then removes the fat with the use of a syringe. Chilled normal saline with epinephrine and lidocaine is injected into the fat bulge to avoid bleeding and remove only the fat. A few tiny absorbable sutures or steristrips are used to close the skin and a tight elastic type dressing is worn for a week. The results can produce an excellent correction of the bulges and fat contour deformity without leaving any significant scarring. Dr. Feder always performs superficial liposculpture, at the same time he performs the rest of his surgery.
Results will be excellent immediately, but it will often take up to 3 to 6 months, to be really appreciated due to swelling. Extensive bruising is quite rare. In general the results are permanent, but if excessive weight is regained, the operated area can increase slightly, although less than would be the case without surgery. Rippling or waviness can also occur with excessive weight gain. Massage used post-operatively will promote good healing. Liposculpturing is applicable to the face, neck, body, arms and legs.
Dr. Feder's results are excellent, and his patients are thrilled. Call for a complimentary consultation at 212-535-8700.
