Breast Augmentation Made Easier

I have come upon a great product that has allowed me to do breast augmentations faster and safer with less trauma to the patient and the implant. What is this product? The Keller funnel. In the past when you put an implant in to the pocket you'd  created you manually forced the implant in to the small incision while your assistant held a retractor to give you access. This led to pressure on the implant that was not always benign. In addition the implant was rubbed against the skin as it went in increasing the possibility of picking up stray bacteria that could later lead to capsule formation. The Keller funnel looks like what a pastry chef would use to ice a cake, only it has a larger opening on the small end and a slippery substance inside. The implant is placed in the funnel directly from it's sterile package is then "pushed" in to the pocket with an even pressure on the implant that could never be duplicated by hands alone. It is a single use device and makes the whole operation safer and faster.

Nifty idea that works great!

The SmartLipo Center

I am pleased to announce the opening of the SmartLipo Center at our Bethesda location. SmartLipo Laser liposuction is performed in our office under local anesthesia and light sedation. 

Cynosure’s SmartLipo Triplex laser is unlike any other on the market today. It offers three wavelengths and increased power that allows me to effortlessly contour fat, seal blood vessels and shrink skin in one procedure. This means you can have the liposuction procedure you have wanted in the office saving you time and money with no need for general anesthesia. Fat can be removed with far less trauma and less bleeding  which means an easier procedure with less bruising and pain. The added value of laser assisted skin shrinkage gives you the opportunity to tighten skin in the neck and arm area that used to be problematic with regular liposuction procedures.

Call the office and speak to one of our patient coordinators or write me at jabs@cosmeticplastics.com to learn more about this exciting procedure. You can also schedule a no cost consultation and come and meet our new office manager, Alison.

I look forward to hearing from you.
