Dr. Nathan Miller is a board certified cosmetic surgeon and owner of the OKC Lipo in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Specializing in all forms of liposuction, Dr. Miller is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons, American Medical Association, Texas Medical Association, and a prospective member of the American College of Surgeons. In this article, he explains his favorite new liposuction technologies.
It is really cool to be a cosmetic surgeon in this day and age because technologies are coming out every year. Fortunately, I have been in this business and doing these procedures for a while, and because of that, I have been able to make a lot of good friends in this industry. A lot of those friends are the same people who head some of the major new liposuction technology companies. And what that means is that they are always sending me new machines to try. So I am able to give these new technologies and these new machines a shot, and that allows us at OKC Lipo to be a sort of half-step ahead of the pack, if you will, compared to some other practices.
Obviously, a lot of new technologies are available, but two of my favorites right now are what is called the AccuSculpt Laser and the Vaser LipoSelection. Both of these are fairly new, and we are using them to deliver great results to a variety of patients.
AccuSculpt Laser Lipo-Sculpting
One of the foremost companies coming out with really great liposuction technologies is a company called Lutronic. So what Lutronic has managed to come up with is a product it has debuted to the public called the AccuSculpt Laser Lipo-Sculpting System.
The AccuSculpt Laser Lipo-Sculpting System is exciting technology. Whereas I feel like in the past, a lot of these new laser technologies that companies were coming out with were a little gimmicky, I can definitely tell you that AccuSculpt is not a gimmick whatsoever. The laser technology that Lutronic has developed is legit. It is good stuff, in terms of the effectiveness and quality of the treatment for so many of my patients.
In fact, I just recently handled a case where a patient came in with lots of scar tissue due to a prior procedure she had tried to have done with a different doctor. So what I was able to do with this AccuSculpt Laser technology is to go in there and just plow through the scar tissue that had built up before of her previous procedure. That is how great this new product really is.
Vaser LipoSelection
Another cool new technology out right now is called Vaser LipoSelection. This is an ultrasound-based technology, and what that—in part—means is that we are able to essentially melt the fat for a lot of people without damaging any surrounding blood vessels or nerves.
I should also say that we are using Vaser LipoSelection a lot with our male patients, too, since it is a great option to use in male breast reductions especially. In addition, for patients who might be coming into our office to have revisions done of the previous work they have undergone with other physicians, Vaser LipoSelection is a great option that we are using a lot.
So like I said, it is a really great time to be working in the cosmetic surgery field, since many new technologies and products are continually coming out. And because of my position within the industry and the friends that I have made, we at OKC Lipo are able to have a lot of those great new technologies available to our patients right away, which is a great benefit to anyone looking to make a dramatic change in the appearance of their body.
