Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) November 7, 2007 — Liposuction has long been the most commonly performed surgical cosmetic procedure, according to The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and many other organizations. But a new form of liposuction is on the rise, and industry research suggests it’s growing by as much as 250%. It’s called liposculpture.
“Liposculpture is the new liposuction,” says Alan Bittner, Medical Director of Beverly Hills Liposculpture (http://www.dralanbittner.com), the busiest center for liposculpture in the world. “Not only is liposculpture safer, but it can remove more fat with smoother results and almost no downtime.”
Liposculpture is the new liposuction
Liposculpture, like liposuction, is the removal of fat from the body, except with smaller instruments and only local anesthesia. Patients remain awake during the procedure, and most can drive themselves home and return to work the following day. Besides abdominal liposculpture, patients can receive arm, chin or thigh liposculpture.
The speed with which liposculpture can be performed has earned it the nickname “lunch-time lipo.” It was featured on a recent episode of the hit FX show Nip/Tuck in which the main character had fat removed during his lunch break.
Liposculpture was developed in Southern California, where more liposuction is performed each day than anywhere else in the world. That fact, coupled with the shortage of liposculpture specialists elsewhere, has made Beverly Hills the world capital for liposculpture surgery.
“We have seen patients from as far away as Tokyo and Nigeria, and we get patients from Texas, Georgia or Florida every week,” says Dr. Bittner. “Other areas of the country are still using old techniques, like general anesthesia and large instruments, which lead to lumpy results. At Beverly Hills Liposculpture, our patients demand smooth results, no visible liposuction scars, and minimal bruising.”
Beverly Hills Liposculpture, which sees up to ten patients a day, has two or more patients a day fly in for their procedure. Most fly home the same or next day.
In addition to treating out-of-state and international patients, Beverly Hills Liposculpture provides Los Angeles liposuction, Orange County liposuction and Beverly Hills liposuction. For more information or to schedule a consultation, call 310-550-9905 or visit www.dralanbittner.com.
