CUTTING-EDGE BODY SCULPTING PROCEDURE OFFERED BY THE MIAMI INSTITUTE THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND IN SOUTH FLORIDA
Surgeons and patients alike thrilled with the pioneering new technology provided by VASER® UAL lipoplasty
Miami, FL – (July xx, 2005) -- The MIAMI Institute for Age Management & Intervention remains on the forefront of new developments in cosmetic and anti-aging solutions with the announcement of LipoSelectionSM by VASER®, a remarkable new body sculpting system that marks the newest addition to the Institute’s growing portfolio of state-of-the-art services. The MIAMI Institute is one of the first facilities in the area to offer the procedure.
The patented VASER® technology is poised to revolutionize the traditional procedure of liposuction,proponents say. The new LipoSelection procedure is much gentler because it allows the surgeon to find the lowest level of energy needed to emulsify fat cells while maintaining surrounding tissues, nerves and blood vessels. The VASER® is a much more refined instrument that minimizes blood loss and post-operative discomfort, facilitates faster recovery, and enables superior results.
In an independent, peer-reviewed study published in 2002, three prominent plastic surgeons who treated 77 patients with the VASER® System reported low to minimal post-operative pain, bruising and swelling. In addition, they reported no complications or required re-treatments, and high patient and surgeon satisfaction. The creators of the VASER® technology, Sound Surgical Technologies, tailored the system to meet the needs of plastic surgeons that were presented during focus groups beginning in the late 1990s. According to the surgeons, emerging procedures should be easier to use, safer, and have more selective abilities than older ultrasonic systems. That critical input let to the creation of the VASER® system, which is on its way to becoming the industry standard for lipoplasty procedures, medical experts say.
“We’re thrilled to offer the VASER® system and LipoSelection to our patients,” says MIAMI Institute cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Leonard Tachmes, M.D. “The technology represents the future of cosmetic procedures. Both for the surgeon and the patient, the benefits are tremendous.”
The newly implemented LipoSelection procedure also reflects the underlying mission of The MIAMI Institute: to offer patients the utmost in convenience, comfort, and quality, both in the services they choose and the care they receive afterward. LipoSelection reduces recovery time and post-operative pain and discomfort, while the Institute’s luxurious accommodations and post-operative nursing care provides patients the option of recovering in a private, comfortable environment.
In keeping with The MIAMI Institute’s philosophy of treating the patient as a whole by providing comprehensive care, LipoSelection patients are given a "total" care and healing package, which includes a nutrition consultation, post-surgery lymphatic drainage by an Occupational Therapist and post-surgery ultrasound to promote better healing and smoother results.
Despite an economic slowdown from 2000 to 2004, Americans are spending more than ever on cosmetic surgery. In 2004, patients spent $8.4 billion on such procedures, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. By offering such groundbreaking technology as the VASER® within its services, The MIAMI Institute will continue to be a leading institution in cosmetic and anti-aging solutions.
