Body Contouring
 Regardless of how strenuously you diet and exercise, those unsightly bulges around the abdomen, buttocks and thighs often will not disappear. Through his artistic lipo-sculpture technique Dr. Brenman enhances your body's natural definition as a sculptor creates a fine work of art. He utilizes the tumescent method and is certified in Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction, the most advanced liposuction technique.
Liposuction is a technique by which fat cells are removed from beneath the skin surface to create a contour change. Liposuction has undergone a tremendous evolution over the past several decades and has become one of the most commonly performed operations for women and men. Patient satisfaction is very high with this procedure because of the minimal incisions necessary to obtain dramatic lasting results.
There are several different methods Dr. Brenman uses when performing liposuction, including tumescent liposuction, the super-wet technique, and ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL). In all types a tiny incision is made in as inconspicuous a place as possible. A cannula (small tube) is inserted and moved back-and-forth beneath the skin, breaking up the fat layer and suctioning it out. Tumescent liposuction and super-wet liposuction use fluid injection, which facilitates fat removal, reduces blood loss, provides anesthesia during and after surgery, and helps to reduce the amount of bruising after surgery. UAL liquefies fat with ultrasonic energy and is highly precise.
After surgery, drainage tubes, compression garments and antibiotics may be needed to facilitate the healing process. Patients are encouraged to walk as soon as they are able and many return to work within a few days, although strenuous activity should be avoided for about a month. Results are visible immediately, though improvement may continue as swelling subsides during the first three months. Scars are small and inconspicuous. Other irregularities in appearance are possible, such as asymmetric or "baggy" skin, numbness and pigmentation changes.
