Liposuction / Lipoplasty

Traditional Liposuction

Liposuction is a body-sculpting procedure to remove fat that is unresponsive to dieting and exercise, thus helping to yield a slimmer and better proportioned figure. Liposuction can be applied to nearly any area of the body and is commonly used on multiple areas during surgery.

The New VASER LipoSelection

Dr. Becker uses the New VASER LipoSelection System, a procedure that combines new patented technology with advanced surgical techniques to break up and remove fatty tissue. This procedure allows unwanted fat to be efficiently removed from the abdomen, breasts, arms, back, hips, knees, love handles, neck, chin, saddlebags, thighs and any other place that has developed “extra cushioning”.

The VASER LipoSelection System uses ultrasound energy, together with a Tumescent, which is a local anesthetic solution used to liquefy and dissolve fat cells, leaving surrounding tissue such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue relatively intact. The dissolved fat cells are then removed with gentle suction and massage. This procedure is not only safer than traditional liposuction, but there is less bruising, less down time, more skin tightening and smoother results.

Pioneer in the field

Dr. Hilton Becker developed and pioneered the Becker dissector liposuction cannula, which is used by plastic surgeons around the United States. His articles on liposuction include:

1. A new suction cannula. Annals of Plastic Surgery, Vol. 25, No.2, August.
2. Treatment of Gynecomastia. Aesthetic Surgery, Fall 1994.
3. Sub dermal Liposuction to enhance skin contraction: A preliminary report. Annals of Plastic Surgery, Vol. 28, No. 5, May 1992.
