LaserLipo, or SmartLipo as it is sometimes called, has a number of advantages over traditional liposuction methods. The procedure is minimally invasive, meaning less downtime and the ability for patients to quickly get back on their feet and back to work.

SmartLipo can be done in one easy procedure and this removes fat from the problem area permanently, meaning no return trips to the surgeon. In addition to simply removing fat, LaserLipo also offers the benefits of removing troublesome cellulite, tightening the skin in the surrounding area, and removing unsightly stretch marks.

One of the biggest advantages to LaserLipo is for patients who are rightly concerned about invasive surgeries. SmartLipo isn’t like that. Using state of the art lasers, the procedure makes only very small incisions, usually about the size of a pinhole. This is important not only for those who worry about the procedure itself, but those who don’t want to walk away from liposuction with ugly scars.

Because SmartLipo is so non-invasive, downtime is cut down to nearly nothing. With traditional liposuction, patients are sometimes incapacitated for a week or more, due to the bruising and pain associated with the surgery. With LaserLipo, downtime is only one or two days. The importance of this is plain to see in today’s busy world. Not only will patients be able to get back to work sooner, but the procedure allows for patients to go back to sporting and exercise within a week. Anyone who has undergone a surgical procedure knows how rare this type of downtime is.

Local anesthesia is used in a SmartLipo procedure, which removes the well documented risks associated with general anesthesia. This method also allows the patient to remain awake and aware throughout the procedure.

Patients who choose to go with LaserLipo can be assured of getting smooth, natural looking results. If you’ve ever seen pictures of liposuction “gone wrong”, you know that such procedures can wind up looking lumpy and unnatural in some cases. With SmartLipo, this will never be the case.

Finally, patients can be assured that they will receive the utmost in expert care. Dr. Malan has more experience performing LaserLipo than any other physicians in the country. With these types of credentials, patients can rest easy knowing they will be in competent, caring hands for the duration of their procedure.

BeautiFill X: The Stem Cell Enhanced Natural Breast Augmentation

(March 10, 2010 – New York, NY) Interested in trimming your waistline while increasing your bust? How about enhancing your breast size two cups without having to go under the knife? Sound like a dream come true? Not any longer!

Now, with Todd K. Malan, M.D.’s revolutionary procedure, BeautiFill X™, a stem cell enhanced natural breast augmentation, you can achieve a two cup increase naturally with your own fat.  BeautiFill X™ offers an innovative alternative for women who do not want the look, feel or maintenance of an implant. Utilizing advanced fat and stem cell harvesting techniques, women can achieve a permanent volume increase with less downtime, risks, complications and stigmas associated with traditional breast surgery.

Move Problem Fat Where You Want it the Most:
BeautiFill X™ is a two-in-one procedure designed to target areas of the body where fat is most resistant, (like those lovely saddlebags you inherited from your mother that, no matter how much exercise you they do don’t seem to budge) and moves it to where you want it the most. Since the procedure uses fat from your problem areas you don’t have to worry about the results disappearing if you lose weight. The fat remains resistant regardless of where it is placed, ensuring good survival and retention.

BeautiFill X™ works by separating, washing and concentrating adult regenerative stem cells already present in your fat. This concentrated stem cell mixture is then combined with fat cells and meticulously re-injected into the breasts, where it increases and restores tissue volume. The adult stem cells help the patient heal faster, keep the transferred fat alive and rejuvenate the breasts, making them soft and supple. Patients can achieve a two cup increase with little downtime, no scarring or loss of sensation. BeautiFill X™  is also a great procedure for women who have undergone a lumpectomy or have breast defects as a result of a biopsy. Women have been waiting for this exciting breakthrough for years and now, with Dr. Malan’s procedure, they can finally achieve fuller breasts naturally.

Dr. Malan states, “Our ability to immediately transfer and inject fat to the breasts is an extreme breakthrough for both the doctor and patient, and provides numerous advantages for the patient.”  Standard saline or silicone implants show complications rates as high as 25% with a 100% re-operation rate in 10 years. Multiple surgeries increase the risk of complications, scarring and extended downtime. Additionally, traditional implants can obscure 15-50% of normal breast tissue during mammogram screening making early cancer detection or follow up difficult.  BeautiFill X™, however, will not interfere with mammograms and lasting results can be achieved with a single procedure. BeautiFill X™ is a very natural and organic way to improve the shape and size of the breasts.

The BeautiFill X™ procedure is available exclusively at the Innovative Cosmetic Surgery

Center following a personal consultation with Dr. Malan. The cost of this procedure ranges from $14,000.00 to $20,000.00 depending on the extent of body sculpting and volume increase a patient is seeking.

About Dr. Malan and the Innovative Cosmetic Surgery Center
Dr. Malan founded the Innovative Cosmetic Surgery Center in Scottsdale, AZ to help improve advanced research and physician training in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures and to provide patients with safe and reliable options to traditional surgery.

Implants are no longer the only path to a shapelier bustline. Now there are less invasive techniques that amp up assets too.

Think the only way to get Eva Longoria Parker’s enviable assets is to go under the knife? Not necessarily, say cosmetic surgeon Dr. Todd K. Malan. He’s pioneered Natural Breast Augmentation, an FDA approved – and up to $20,000 – procedure that uses stem cells to permanently augment the breasts up to two cup sizes!

How it works: A water-based liposuction system first removes fat from unwanted areas (like the butt and thighs). Next, stem cells are extracted from the fat and activated before being reincorporated into the fat cells and then injected into the breast tissue to add more volume. The best part? Patients can return to work in as little as 48 hours! “It allows women to get work done while having natural-looking results with very little risk,” say Dr. Malan. Getting a boob boost just got easier!

Laser Liposuction is an effective alternative to traditional liposuction.

This is a safe technique on the cutting edge of body sculpting technology that reduces the down time for patients, helping them get back to the things they enjoy faster than other methods. Certain areas of the body are impossible to slim down even after strenuous work-out routines and strict diets because natural body shape is something that can’t be changed. SmartLipo™ can smooth out these areas quickly and safely as well as allowing for a fast recovery.

Some people prefer this method because of how it deals with excess skin after surgery. Laser liposuction helps to stimulate the body’s collagen production in affected areas so that the body naturally get its elasticity and youthful appearance back. This is usually corrected in extreme cases after traditional methods of liposuction are employed.

Dr. Todd Malan incorporates SmartLipo™ into his liposuction work, giving him good rapport with his patients. This is a generally outpatient procedure so there is rarely a need to move into a sterile, terrifying hospital to look good. After one day of recommended down time, a patient can resume working, and having a normal life again as opposed to sitting in bed for weeks in pain. Little bruising and scarring is left in the local area when using SmartLipo™ methods which is why Dr. Malan is the choice cosmetic physician for patients all over the country looking to have fantastic results without the pain and worry of traditional liposuction.

With SmartLipo™ only local anesthesia is necessary to undergo the procedure. This cuts risk down greatly and gives patients and their loved ones piece of mind. The entire process affords time to the patient and less worry about needing family to become full-time caretakers after a procedure.

Dr. Todd Malan has championed SmartLipo™ in his cosmetic surgical center because it is the most advanced method of liposuction available as well as the safest. Patients from hundreds of miles away search out this procedure and Dr. Malan as he has the experience and results to ensure that every procedure has the best outcome possible and gives patients the body they’ve always wanted.

Cutting edge liposuction technology and a revolutionary new method of harvesting adult stem cells from an individual’s own fat work together to give today’s woman natural looking and feeling breast augmentation. This new technique is a wish fulfilled for women throughout the ages; taking excess fat from elsewhere on their body and using it to enhance their breasts.

Stem cell breast augmentation is a virtually painless procedure and the healing process only a matter of one or two days instead of the weeks of painful recovery most women experience after receiving silicone implants. Since down time or time off from work is minimal this procedure is perfect for the busy woman.

Since stem cell augmented breasts contains only natural fat from the patients own body the procedure does not interfere with important tests such as mammograms. The now obsolete silicone implants, in addition to their inherent risks, block the camera’s view of as much as one half of the breast when subjected to a mammogram.

After regenerative adult stem cells are separated from fat cells they are put through a special process which washes and concentrates them. They are then recombined with fat cells and ready for use. Unlike silicone implants, which the body correctly perceives as foreign matter and sometimes rejects, the possibility of rejection is nil with stem cell breast augmentation.

The stem cell infused fat helps the patient’s body nourish the transferred fat by growing new blood vessels. Healing is hastened by the release of natural anti-inflammatory substances and breast skin tissue is strengthened and tightened naturally.

Unlike the now outdated silicone breast implants which required replacement every few years, the augmentation achieved with stem cells is permanent. The procedure is designed to restore the natural breast shape and feel that has been lost due to aging or motherhood, or to implement a natural 1 or 2 cup size increase. It is not designed for massive Hollywood-style breast size increases.

A woman need not have visible excess fat to benefit from using her own fat for stem cell breast augmentation. A skilled physician can extract a sufficient amount from even a slender woman leaving no trace of the liposuction procedure.

A note of interest: this stem cell procedure uses only adult stem cells from the patients own body, not the controversial embryonic stem cells.

Laser body sculpting and laser liposuction are becoming increasingly popular with both men and women when they consider having cosmetic surgery. SmartLipo is a minimally invasive process that can be performed with local anesthesia, and with the use of a high-powered laser, it results in fewer side effects, less down time than earlier methods, and only slight discomfort for the patient.

How SmartLipo works

A small tube that contains laser fiber, which is inserted in the skin, delivers energy, causing the fat cells to rupture and then drain away, resulting in collagen shrinkage. An ideal candidate for this procedure is of normal body weight and in good health, but also has areas of the body that fail to respond to exercise and diet. The patient also needs to have realistic expectations in regard to the outcome.

As a rule, only one treatment, lasting from 45 minutes to an hour for every area being treated, is required. After the surgery, patients have minimal pain or bruising, and while a day or two of rest is recommended, most of them can return to work at once if they decide to do so.

What you can expect from liposuction

SmartLipo™ tightens sagging skin, may improve cellulite to some extent, and also improves the body’s shape, which is referred to as body sculpting. The results will be evident immediately, and improvement should continue for several months afterwards. Laser-assisted liposuction produces lasting results, and if a patient gains weight after being treated, most fat will be found in the untreated areas of the body. In addition, you will experience no pain during the procedure.

The fiber-optic tube that is used is usually inserted in increases in the skin to conceal the scar, and there is very little bleeding when the laser is removed. The healing tissue, which replaces the melted fat, then helps to reduce swelling in both the area that has been treated and the overlying skin.

The safety factor

SmartLipo™ is preferable, rather than choosing a less advanced method of liposuction, because there is less bleeding, and many of the risks related to general anesthesia have been eliminated. For more information, visit http://www.smartliposurgery.com.

Today there is a way for women to have their breasts enlarged that does not have the risks that breast implants can have and that can make the breasts look and feel more natural than implants. This unusual technique uses a woman’s at from other parts of the body to enhance her breasts. This procedure involves the harvesting of fat, transferring adult stem cells, and breast splinting. Now cosmetic surgeons can finally answer “yes” to the question, “can you take some fat from down here and put it up here?”

The procedure begins with the harvesting of the fat using a device called the Body-Jet. This device uses pulses of water to remove the fat from the body. Once removed, the fat goes through a process that extracts the stem cells that are in the fat and then activates them. Once the stem cells are activated, they are concentrated with the fat that was removed and injected into the breasts. Without these stem cells, the fat may not survive long after the injection into the breast. In some, but not all of these natural breast augmentation procedures, pressure splints are used to ensure that the fat does not move. The splints also help the transferred stem cells and fat to regenerate.

These augmentations can result in a one to two cup-size increase. The result is breasts that are much more natural looking and feeling than the artificial implants used. Natural breast augmentation does not interfere with mammograms, as do implants. In fact, implants can block as much as one-half of the breast from the view of mammography machines.

Because this procedure uses stem cells to activate and regenerate the fat, a lot of fat is not required for a successful procedure. This means that women who are thin and without much body fat, can still enjoy the benefits of this natural breast augmentation procedure.

This type of procedure is not new, but 20 years ago they were banned because the technology used made them unsafe. The technology has since changed and because of recent positive results, the ban has been lifted. The ban was lifted partly because of Dr. Malan’s techniques and the training that he provides for other doctors. He offers a certified training course in his procedure for doctors in the U.S. If a doctor has not been trained by Dr. Malan, they are likely using the old techniques.

Many people yearn for physical beauty, but it can be difficult to obtain the appearance and body shape that you want. With today’s technology, there are many ways to improve your physical appearance. Once such way is through liposuction. Liposuction is a form of cosmetic surgery that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body. This beauty enhancing method is performed by a well-trained and experienced cosmetic surgeon in a medical clinic or hospital. Liposuction is most commonly performed on certain areas of the body such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, jowls, chin, and the upper arms.

There are several types of liposuction techniques including traditional liposuction and laser liposuction. A traditional liposuction procedure involves making an incision in the skin and inserting a 4 mm to 6 mm. metal rod into the body part. The surgeon will then push and pull the rod around and across the excess fat to break up the tissue and suction it out of the patient’s body. SmartLipo or laser liposuction is considered to be less invasive than traditional liposuction. Laser liposuction is performed by inserting a small and narrow cannula, about 1 mm to 2 mm in diameter, into the skin. The cannula is composed of a laser fiber that when moved back in forth, will case the fat cells to break apart. The ruptured fat cells then release a fluid that will be eliminated naturally by the body’s waste system.

Laser liposuction has several advantages over traditional liposuction. General anesthesia is required during a traditional liposuction procedure. This can increase the risk of complications during and after the surgery, including death. Laser liposuction only requires numbing the area with a local anesthetic. The laser liposuction patient will be awake during the procedure and will be able to communicate with the surgeon if he or she feels any pain or discomfort. The patient will also be able to walk and be released from the hospital within two to three hours after the procedure.

Laser liposuction is considered safer and less invasive because there is less scaring, less bleeding, and less bruising involved. In traditional liposuction the surgeon moves the metal tube back and forth manually. This technique is less precise and will increase the risk of swelling, bleeding, and damage to the tissue. This can lead to excess pain and bruising. The laser used in laser liposuction will immediately cause the blood vessels to coagulate. As a result, there will be less pain, less bleeding, less bruising, and a quicker recovery time. Also, since the laser cannula is so small, the incisions will not be noticeable after a few weeks.

The question of who might be a good candidate for Laser Liposuction (SmartLipo) comes up frequently when the subject is being discussed. Even after having a Laser Liposuction (SmartLipo) procedure done, it is important to consider the fact that a change in habits or lifestyle can help maintain the healthier body you can achieve by having a Liposuction (SmartLipo) done. Keeping up a regimen of good nutrition, diet, and exercise can make a big difference in someone’s life to keep their new body free from becoming unhealthy again.

Good candidates for Laser Liposuction (SmartLipo) are usually people who have localized deposits of fat around the buttocks, hips, or thighs. Also, people who have extra tummy fat or deposits around the waist, better known as “love handles”, can be considered good candidates for Liposuction (SmartLipo). Candidates for SmartLipo must not be in poor health, or the doctor will likely not be able to perform the procedure. While these types of people may be considered good candidates for Liposuction (SmartLipo), it is also important to know what type of people would not qualify as a candidate for SmartLipo.

First of all, you will not be considered a good candidate for Laser Liposuction (SmartLipo) if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Also, while Liposuction (SmartLipo) is a procedure to remove deposits of fat and make people look healthier, anyone who is considered “obese” will likely not be a good candidate for Liposuction (SmartLipo). Anyone who is taking blood-thinners, also known as anti-coagulants, will not be a good candidate for Liposuction (SmartLipo). Any infection in the area that needs to be treated will also disqualify someone as a candidate for this procedure. After the infection is no longer a problem, however, they will be able to qualify as long as that was the only reason for them not being able to have the procedure done. Other people who would not be considered good candidates for Liposuction (SmartLipo) would be people who have severe liver or kidney disease, or someone dealing with heart failure.

If you feel you are a good candidate for Laser Liposuction (SmartLipo), consult your doctor. If it is a new doctor you are consulting, be sure to reveal to them any allergies or other medical conditions you may have in order for them to determine if you could be a good candidate for this procedure. Liposuction (SmartLipo) can be a life changing experience for many people. While a good candidate for the procedure is mainly based on the fact that they have fat deposits somewhere on their body they would like removed, other factors could be a deterrent to having the procedure done.

When someone thinks about natural breast augmentation, they usually think about those bogus pills that get advertised in spam e-mails. Those don’t work, but there is an effective natural breast augmentation procedure available through a qualified cosmetic surgeon. Natural breast augmentation is an excellent alternative for women who want larger breasts, but have heavy concerns over the risks associated with implants such as rupture, leakage, and scarring and needing replacement surgeries in the future.

Natural breast augmentation is, basically, a two step procedure. The first step is to harvest unwanted fat from one area of the body. The second step is to implant that fat inside the breast. This concept was tried twenty years ago with very limited success. Science and technology have advanced and now allow this procedure to be safe and effective thanks to the use of stem cells. These stem cells are not the controversial embryonic stem cells that are abundant in the news. These stem cells are adult stem cells that will come from the patient’s own body. Since these cells come from the patient’s body, the risk of rejection is very, very low.

The breast is made of several different types of tissue, but it is mostly comprised of fat. Fat cells are an excellent source of stem cells. After the fat is removed from the thighs, abdomen, or another trouble spot, the cells are processed and the adult stem cells are removed. Fat with a high concentration of stem cells are then injected into the breast.

Good candidates for this procedure are women who are unhappy with their breast size due to genetics or reduced volume from weight loss or nursing. Women should be in good general health. Although this procedure is not as taxing on the body as breast augmentation that uses implants or other types of cosmetic surgery, it is surgery. The cosmetic surgeon needs a complete understanding of the patient’s medical condition and history. Even though this procedure extracts unwanted body fat from trouble spots, it can be performed on women with low amounts of body fat. The candidate should also have realistic expectations from the surgery. Natural breast augmentation will add approximately one or two cup sizes. If a patient desires at least a two or three cup size increase, they should consider breast implants. Finally, the candidate should desire the procedure to provide natural looking and natural feeling breasts.
