The Components
Body re-shaping and contouring is achieved by the PAL™ system (Microaire™) as Power Assisted Lipo Suction, which is considered the least traumatic and most comfortable to the patient. Former methods including ultrasound assisted liposuction have resulted in excessive tissue trauma and lengthy post procedure discomfort.
Laser technology, SMARTLIPO™, adds significant advances in lipolysis. Dr. Wasserman has extensive training and practice of laser energy over the past 20 years. He has practiced laser use in General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, as well as topically. The Center was among the very first (2007) facilities in Bergen County to adopt SMARTLIPO™ from Cynosure©. Dr. Wasserman received formal dedicated training, achieving certification as well as hands on training with several of the regions earliest surgeons during the development of this method.
The third component is the technique of tumescent local anesthesia, which has totally eliminated the risks of general anesthesia and hospitalization and has been used by Dr. Wasserman for several years when performing endovenous laser ablation (EVLT) in the Center’s ambulatory procedure suite. The invention of this form of local anesthesia by San Diego Dermatologist, Jeffrey Klein, MD, is considered the revolutionary turning point in liposuction in 1981.
The fourth component is the art and skill performing procedures on awake patients, which has dramatic advantages. This allows for added safety, patient feedback and translates into a more gentle surgical technique and reduced post procedure recovery. Dr. Wasserman has helped pioneer performing procedures on awake patients for over 15 years during 99% of his procedures.
Dr. Wasserman’s broad based surgical training and devotion to aesthetics highly qualifies him as the Cosmetic Surgeon of choice. Liposuction historically has been done almost exclusively by Dermatologic Surgeons throughout the world. It is perhaps the best example of the distinction between Cosmetic Surgery and Plastic Surgery. Other specialists, especially Gynecologists and ENT surgeons have contributed to liposuction advances. Dr. Wasserman’s credentials and experience all contribute to his skills when performing modern cosmetic procedures. These include Board Certification in General Surgery, Board Certification in Vascular Surgery and formal Certified Fellowships in Trauma Surgery and Critical care medicine.
