Leave Those Holiday Jiggles Behind!

As the Holiday events and social gatherings loom on the horizon, you may find it to be quite a challenge to stick to a stringent diet during the festivities. Now is the perfect time to start thinking about the many options we offer to help get back your once trim silhouette post holiday season. 

To shape and contour the body, Dr. Soto uses a form of liposuction called VASER liposelection. Vaser is an advanced form of liposuction that harnesses the power of ultrasonic wavelengths to liquefy fat cells and tighten skin, while minimizing the damage inflicted upon surrounding blood vessels and nerves. This means that patients experience less bruising, less pain, and fewer health risks than with traditional liposuction procedures.

Dr. Soto makes tiny, inconspicuous incisions and flushes fluid throughout the targeted area just under the surface of the skin. This forces the blood vessels to tighten and fat cells to expand, easing the removal of the fatty tissue. Then, a specially designed cannula is used to remove the fat with gentle suction until the desired contour is achieved.

Another option that may be used alongside VASER Liposelection, or as another option for small pockets of excess fat, is CoolSculpting by Zeltiq. In the hands of a fully trained and experienced provider, like Dr. Soto and his staff, CoolSculpting can permanently reduce subcutaneous fat by 20–25%. Without the use of needles, incisions and the need for recovery time, CoolSculpting can be used to reduce fat in the love handles, abdomen, hips, bra, thighs and arm areas.

Utilizing cryolipolysis, the technology takes advantage of the fact that fat cells freeze and die at much higher temperatures than the surrounding tissue. We have seen consistently positive results by exposing areas to the precise temperature at which fat will freeze. During the next 8–12 weeks following the treatment, results will develop as fat cells are absorbed into the body through its natural cleansing cycle, which is part of the process known as programmed cell death.

To ensure your happiness and safety, choose only a board certified plastic surgeon to perform your fat reduction procedure. Dr. Armando Soto offers only the safest and most effective means of body contour improvement available today.
