Slim down – Shape Up with Liposculpture
LIPOSCULPTURE is becoming more popular as patients discover they can lose weight and reshape their problem areas in one procedure.
Dr Daniel Lanzer helped convene the first hands-on conference of the tumescent method of liposculpture, which involves filling the fat with large volumes of a dilute fluid before sucking the fat out. This has made the procedure safer and more effective and it is now one of the most popular cosmetic procedures.
Dr Lanzer performs liposculpture either with the patient either awake or under a light general anesthetic in his modern day surgery centre.
Different types of liposculpture:
Body Liposculpture: Dr Daniel Lanzer can reshape and refine most fatty deposits on a female body, giving a more slim appearance.
Common areas for treatment are the two bulges of the hips and outer thigh, the stomach, inner thighs and knees, back, calves, ankles and the neck.
Megaliposcution: By having many liters of fat removed, patients can get a real kick-start. Patients undergoing mega liposuction often weigh 80kg to 120kg and have tried all different methods of weight loss.
Breast reduction: Dr Daniel Lanzer was the first to publish a large study of making women’s breasts smaller and lighter with just liposculpture. He can remove about one to two liters of fat from each breast. Once the weight is gone, the skin contracts and elevates.
Hi Def Liposcuplture: Dr Daniel Lanzer was the first in Australia to be trained in the Hi Def method by the group that introduced the technique. .
Both Men and women can obtain an “athletic appearance” almost immediately on the stomach. The technique involves combining the new Vaser ultrasound device and a new “artistic” approach.
Male boobs: One of the most common procedures performed by Dr Lanzer is the reduction of “man boobs”. By removing localised fat and possibly thick breast tissue, the chest becomes flat and smooth.
Why Do it?
People have liposuction for shape issues, such as big hips or thighs. Others do it as a way of achieving more general slimming. Pain and discomfort often plays a role, particularly in female breast so they opt for a breast reduction.
How difficult is it to book in?
Dr Daniel Lanzer offers a free no obligation consultation for cosmetic surgery, during which he gives potential patients detailed and personal information. As Dr Lanzer has his own fully accredited day surgery hospital, the liposuction can take place very quickly. Most patients take either a few days, or a week, off work. Generally no strenuous activity is allowed for two week. Country and interstate patients can send in photographs for a free over-the-phone assessment and discussion.
How private can liposuction be?
Dr Lanzer and his staff are aware that the procedure is private and appropriate confidentiality guidelines are kept.
