An Uplift, not a Facelift!

Get a makeover this summer with no restrictions or downtime!

FIRST 20 CALLERS TO MAKE N APPOINTMENT FR A COMLMENTARY CONSULTATION ON ULTHERA WILL RECEIVE 20% off one treatment area!

Ultherapy , a non-surgical, non-invasive FDA approved procedure that uses ultrasound and the body’s own natural healing process to lift, tone, and tighten loose skin on the brow, cheeks, jowls and neck.

The only FDA-approved procedure to lift skin on these hard-to-treat areas, Ultherapy uses the safe, time-tested energy of ultrasound to stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin—including those typically addressed in a surgical facelift—without disturbing the surface of the skin. The effect of focused ultrasound energy on the growth of new collagen over time.

Natural, Noticeable Results Now there’s a way to stand firm in the face of gravity—on your terms. With Ultherapy, there’s no downtime, no foreign substances, no radical change; just a healthy revving-up on the inside for a natural, noticeable effect on the outside. With Ultherapy, you can go about your day after a single, 60-90 minute in-office procedure. You may notice a short-term “boost” but the natural process of creating new, more elastic, collagen builds over time—much like the effect that exercise has on building muscle (but without the multiple workouts!).

The Beauty of Ultherapy Results will unfold over the course of 2-3 months and some patients have reported continued improvement for up to 6 months, including lifting and tightening of the skin on the neck, under the chin, along the jawline, and on the brow. While ultrasound does not duplicate the results of surgery, Ultherapy has proven to be an inviting alternative for those who are not yet ready for surgery.

Angelina Jolie's Mastectomy

Angelina Jolie has recently attracted a great deal of attention for her surprising announcement regarding her double mastectomy.  Jolie, a favorite of gossip columns and TMZ for her ultra-high profile marriage to fellow movie star Brad Pitt, typically makes headlines for her adoptions and for her charitable work in New Orleans and Africa.  In this case, however, Jolie managed to focus attention on the important topic of preventive mastectomy.

Jolie discussed her decision in a recent op-ed piece for The New York Times.  In it, she wrote that her mother fought cancer for almost a decade until she succumbed to the disease when she was only 56.  As breast cancer can be genetically transmitted, Jolie knew that her chances of getting her mother’s disease were quite high.  Her doctors, in fact, told her the probability of her getting breast cancer was an astonishingly high 87%.  Jolie said in the Times piece that “I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience”. 

Clearly, in Jolie’s case, the genetic evidence was powerful enough to convince her to undertake the double mastectomy procedure.  And Jolie is not alone in electing to undertake preventative measures:
according to an unpublished study by Dr. Kelly Hunt, Chief of Breast Surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, the percentage of the Center’s patients electing to have prophylactic surgeries done increased from 8% in 2010 to 14.1% in 2012.  Dr. Kelly discussed the findings with CNN, which reported them on its web site.

In addition to the genetic factor, the National Cancer Institute notes in its report on Preventive Mastectomy that there are other reasons why a woman would want to have this type of a procedure performed:

·         Women how have had radiation therapy in the vicinity of the chest before age 30 are at an increased   risk of cancer.

·         Women who have previous occurrences of breast cancer may also be suitable candidates.

·         In addition, women with Lobular carcinoma in situ, a condition that increases the risk of developing cancer in either breast, may want to consider the surgery.

 

All in all, while, as with most surgeries, there is risk in the double mastectomy procedure, many at risk women are clearly electing to reduce the chances of breast cancer by taking proactive steps to prevent the disease from affecting them.  Jolie may inspire more women both here in the US and around the globe to review their options when it comes to prophylactic mastectomies. 

Feel Free To Go Sleeveless…

Feel Free To Go Sleeveless…

Get those toned Michelle Obama arms before summer!

Michelle Obama, like many first ladies before her, is influencing fashion and style for millions of women, not just in the US, but all over the world.  Her obvious energy, intelligence and glamour make her a style icon for many.

2013’s First Lady does differ from her predecessors in certain ways.  Where Jackie Kennedy and Nancy

Reagan were both generally limited to influencing fashion and style, Michelle’s influence extends to appearance as well: her well-toned upper arms are the envy of multitudes of women, especially in the US, where a healthy, athletic look has been in vogue for decades.  And whereas previous generations could emulate their favorite First Lady by buying the same dress our outfit, modern medicine allows those who want Ms. Obama’s toned look to get what they want with advanced surgical techniques.

These new techniques are called brachioplasty, or, more commonly, the upper arm lift.  According to the 2012 Plastic Surgery Statistics report, more than 15,000 patients spent $61 million on upper arm lifts last year.  And while we cannot definitely say that Michelle was the driving factor behind the incredible growth of the procedure (more than 4000% since 2000) the fact is that 31% of women responding to an American Society of Plastic Surgeons poll said that they wanted arms like the First Lady’s.   

What should someone interested in brachioplasty know about the procedure?  First, one has to understand the specific objective, which is to reshape the under portion of the upper arm, or the area that stretches from the underarm region to the elbow.  Arm lifts reduce the excess skin and fat of the area, and reshape the arm in a way that makes it more contoured and toned. 

The surgery itself will take about three or four hours.  Incisions are generally placed on the inside of the arm or on the the back of the arm.  Fat removal is done through liposuction, which is of course a very common procedure for other parts of the body.   After any fat removal, the underlying muscle tissue is tightened and reshaped, resulting in the toned and youthful appearance associated with the procedure.  The results are apparent almost immediately, though stitching may take a week or two to be finally removed.  The results will become more dramatic after swelling subsides, usually within a week.

With the advent of laser liposuction doctors are able to avoid actual cutting out of the skin in many people, and hence reduce the scars and recuperative period. In addition, Dr. Boss has many non-surgical techniques that contour, firm and tone the arms in selected patients.

Arm Lifts make patients look younger, healthier and more athletic.  They contribute not just to appearance, but to one’s sense of well-being as well: we all feel better about ourselves when we know we are looking our best.  So, while we might not all be able to fly on Air Force One and host state dinners at the White House, many of us can get the same athletic, all-American look that makes Michelle Obama a style icon for our age.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and it is very important to have your dermatologists examine your skin for any unusual moles. Melanoma screening is vital, as it can diagnose cancer at the earliest stage.

·         Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than 3.5 million skin cancers in over two million people are diagnosed annually.

·         Each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon.

·         Over the past three decades, more people have had skin cancer than all other cancers combined

·         Of the seven most common cancers in the US, melanoma is the only one whose incidence is increasing. Between 2000 and 2009, incidence climbed 1.9 percent annually.

Hearing a diagnosis of “cancer” is very difficult to accept. Understanding that treating your skin cancer may result in scars or disfigurement can also be troubling. Your plastic surgeon understands your concerns and will guide you through treatment and explain the resulting effect on your health and appearance.

Quick facts about skin cancer treatment:

• Treatment of skin cancer, much like any form of cancer, may require surgery to remove cancerous growths
• Your plastic surgeon can surgically remove cancerous and other skin lesions using specialized techniques to preserve your health and your appearance
• Although no surgery is without scars, your plastic surgeon will make every effort to treat your skin cancer without dramatically changing your appearance
• For some people, reconstruction may require more than one procedure to achieve the best results

The first step in treating skin cancer is a consultation with your plastic surgeon. The success and safety of your skin cancer surgery depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. You’ll be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle. 

Your plastic surgeon can treat your skin cancer by surgically removing cancerous skin and reconstructing a more normal appearance. But some forms of skin cancer require additional treatment such as radiation therapy. Your physician will advise you about any follow-up treatment recommendations.

Questions to ask you plastic surgeon

• Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
• Were you specially trained in the field of plastic surgery?
• Do you have hospital privileges to perform this procedure? If so, at which hospitals?
• Is the office-based surgical facility accredited by a nationally or state recognized accrediting agency, or is state licensed or Medicare-certified?
• How many procedures of this type have you performed?
• Am I a good candidate for this procedure?
• What will be expected of me to get the best results?
• Where and how will you perform my procedure?
• What shape, size, surface texturing, incision site and placement site are recommended for me?
• How long of a recovery period can I expect, and what kind of help will I need during my recovery?
• What are the risks and complications associated with my procedure?
• How are complications handled?
• What are my options if I am dissatisfied with the outcome of my skin cancer surgery?
• Do you have before-and-after photos I can look at for each procedure and what results are reasonable for me?

WILLIAM K. BOSS, MD, FACS

For over two decades, Dr. William K. Boss, MD, FACS has been an innovator, not a follower. A recipient of (201) Health magazine's Bergen’s Top Doctors Award for 2012, the world-renowned plastic surgeon has remained at the forefront of laser and minimally invasive research, conceiving the new and enhanced technique, the patent pending procedure Cool Lift.
Equally monumental was the FDA’s recent approval of Dr. Boss’ LAVIV, a soft-tissue stimulator made specifically from each individual patient’s own skin. LAVIV, a result of Dr. Boss’ cellular therapy research, stimulates the body’s own collagen to soften smile lines. LAVIV also offers promise to remedy acne and burn scars, and it might also be used to retexturize the skin, shrink pores and revitalize the décolletage and the backs of hands.

Dr. Boss is the former Chief of Plastic Surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center and he extends the same meticulous attention to detail and quest for perfection daily in meeting the needs of his patients. Extremely popular is his trademark Cool Lift, a minimally invasive laser facelift done under local anesthesia. The procedure employs four standard techniques for skin tightening and rejuvenation and takes approximately one hour, or 90 minutes with the inclusion of the neck.

An assistant clinical professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Dr. Boss also specializes in Cool Lipo, a laser-assisted liposuction which vastly surpasses traditional forms of liposuction by accelerating and improving recovery. Low-level laser-assisted liposuction assures maximum patient comfort and results that are both dramatic and permanent. Dr. Boss is fully versed in all aspects of cosmetic and plastic surgery, such as breast augmentation, adjustable implants, and breast reduction and lift, and he also performs body contouring procedures like mini tummy tucks and thigh lifts.

Depending on the desired goal, a combination of plastic surgery procedures can be conducted simultaneously in Dr. Boss’s fully accredited, unparalleled, state-of-the-art Bergen County facility, which is equipped with the latest biomedical technology and specialized equipment. For example, post pregnancy mothers might opt for a “Mommy Makeover” – a combination tummy tuck and breast lift.

The Cosmetic Surgery and Rejuvenation Center also administers such non-invasive procedures as Botox®, Restylane® and other injectables. Cited as one of America’s Top Surgeons by such prestigious authorities as the Consumer’s Research Council of America and the Guide to America’s Top Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Boss has been widely published in medical trade journals. He maintains memberships with various medical societies like the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

A Unique and Highly Successful Approach to Acne Therapy

As a board certified reconstructive and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Boss focuses his efforts in treating acne scars with a very unique and individualized approach that yields excellent results in his patients. Dr. Boss works closely with many dermatologists in different geographical regions, so the treatment is an available option for many prospective patients.

 At the first visit, Dr, Boss needs to determine if the patient is a good candidate for reconstruction. The most important determinant is if the active acne has been under control for the past 6-12 months.  There is no point to treat scarring in patients with active acne because new scars will continually form and the patient will have wasted time, effort, and money.

 The treatment begins with a careful medical history and examination to determine the most effective and least invasive procedures possible.  As a plastic surgeon Dr. Boss can employ the largest variety of techniques possible to treat the scarring. For example, ice pick, deep contracted scars require excision and as a micro surgeon Dr. Boss uses magnification to excise the scars and build up the skin layers to minimize the scar.

Other scars require subcision followed by fractionated lasers or simply lasers alone.  There are also lasers that can treat discolorations and tiny blood vessels around the scars.

In some cases Dr. Boss will utilize long acting fillers when indicated, such as Restalyne, Perlane, Juvaderm, Sculptra and Radiesse.  There is also a new and exciting development in cell therapy that is currently undergoing FDA trials for treatment of acne scars and was recently approved by the FDA for correction of smile lines.  This treatment was invented by Dr. Boss and involves growing the patient’s own collagen producing skin cells known as fibroblasts in a certified laboratory. These cells are then re-injected into the dermis of the skin to help correct the problem.

Often times, the skin that has been ravaged by acne is loose and the face has lost volume; that is when more invasive treatments such as stem cell fat transfers and mini facelifts might be helpful. Fortunately there are many treatment options that are available and can produce tremendous results. However, it is important for the patient to make an appointment for a consult and go over the options with the doctor to determine which treatment is best for the individual.

LAVIV, The First Cellular Treatment for Facial Rejuvenation

LAVIV™, an injectable therapy invented by Dr. Bill Boss, is now available for treatment of nasolabial folds (laugh lines). This revolutionary treatment utilizes the patient’s own fibroblasts, which are the cells in your body that make collagen. 

LAVIV™ is the first and only FDA-approved personalized cell therapy created to improve prominent smile lines. The product is so effective that Allure Magazine selected it as one of Allure’s Best of Beauty Products for 2011.

A Valentine’s Day offer from Dr. Bill Boss!

Buy 2 Restylane or 2 Perlane and get 1 FREE!*

Buy 2 areas of Dysport and get the 3^rd FREE!*

With so many options on the market for injectable facial fillers how do you determine what to ask for to treat your problem areas?

The answer to that question is rather simple. It really depends on what bothers you and where your treatment areas are.  Once we establish the results you are looking for we can determine if fillers are appropriate and which to use. One thing is for certain, and that is, the goal for any facial rejuvenation treatment should appear completely natural and give you a more youthful and refreshed look.

Restylane is a safe, non-surgical way to enhance your appearance and give you a completely natural look with minimal downtime. It will reduce line, fold and wrinkles, create fuller lips, enhance contours and facial volume, as well as improve skin structure and elasticity. The Restylane family of products is scientifically proven to give natural long lasting results that you will see immediately.

Perlane is a sister product to Restylane.  Perlane is designed for more pronounced facial folds and wrinkles such as those on the sides of the mouth. Both Perlane and Restylane are composed of hyaluronic acid. The primary difference between Restylane and Perlane is that the hyaluronic acid gel particles in Perlane are larger than those found in Restylane. This gives Perlane additional ability to lift and fill the areas of injection that require a denser formulation. Perlane and Restylane are perfect complements to one another.
Dysport is not considered a facial filler, rather it is a wrinkle relaxer. It is an injectable treatment for wrinkles and is made from the same neurotoxin (botulinum toxin type A) as Botox. Disport is injected directly into the muscles that cause the facial wrinkles and temporarily immobilizes them, preventing wrinkles to occur. The results take anywhere from 1-7 days to appear and effects can last anywhere from four months to a year in some cases. As with all treatments, everyone’s results are individual.
Call today to book your appointment with Dr. Bill Boss and he will help you determine which filler is best suited for your individual needs.

*Offer valid through February 14th, 2012. This offer is valid for treatment with Restylane, Perlane or Dysport. If you’re not ready for a treatment at this time, just call the office to purchase this offer and they will hold it for you until you are ready to come in for an appointment or for your next treatment cycle.

Allure Magazine selects Laviv injectable filler for their “2011 Best of Beauty Products” list!!!

LAVIV™, a patented technique developed by Dr. Boss in 1995 is now FDA approved and available for treatment of nasolabial folds (laugh lines). This revolutionary treatment utilizes the patient’s own fibroblasts, which are the cells in your body that make collagen.  Dr. Boss injects these cells into the treatment area to repair and rejuvenate the skin.  Fibrocell is engaged in trials for acne scars and fine lines.

LAVIV™ is the first and only FDA-approved personalized cell therapy created to improve prominent smile lines. The product is so effective that Allure Magazine selected it as one of Allure’s Best of Beauty Products for 2011. LAVIV™ is made up of special cells called fibroblasts, which are isolated and grown from your own skin cells. It’s composed of at least 98% pure fibroblasts placed in a mixture of water, sugars, vitamins, amino acids and salts which contains no fillers.

LAVIV™ is usually administered in three separate treatments which are spaced at intervals of 3-6 weeks. Clinical trial results were submitted to the FDA after 6 months, so the approval is for a six month duration, however, Dr. Boss and many of his colleagues have had early trial patients that have maintained results lasting 4-15 years.

It’s a simple procedure and similar to other filler treatments, it’s injected directly into the smile lines using a small needle and is done in the office.  LAVIV™ is currently available only through board certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons that have completed a Fibrocell-approved training program and as the founding father and developer of Fibrocell, Dr. Boss teaches qualified plastic surgeons how to administer LAVIV™. Due to the personalized nature of LAVIV™, the focus is on providing quality service but as capacity increases, it will be offered to more trained physicians.

LAVIV™ also poses an interesting possibility of being combined with laser procedure since lasers target and stimulate the same cells (fibrocells) that are the LAVIV™ product.

Male Cosmetic Procedures, Reaching 1.1 Million Last Year!

Even in the midst of a slow economy, the male plastic surgery industry continues to expand.  As baby boomers and those generations right behind them continue to age, social conventions over male cosmetic procedures are rapidly changing.  Whether it is concern over appearing young in the workplace or just the age old desire to look good, men are increasingly opting for appearance enhancing procedures.

Statistics bear this out. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reports that in 2010, men underwent 1.1 million procedures.  That overall number was up 2% over 2009.  Within that, facelifts saw significant growth, up 14%, and liposuctions grew 7%.  Also, among the top ten procedures, the majority are surgical, which bucks the previous trend of non-invasive procedures being paramount.  And surgeons reporting into the survey are finding that more and more “regular” people (as opposed to celebrities and the wealthy) are opting for cosmetic enhancements. William K. Boss MD PA FACS, explains this rapidly growing trend quoting a recent ASPS report that states: “The typical male cosmetic surgery patient is an average guy who wants to look as good as he feels. Most of these patients are ‘men's men,' the kind of guy you might not think would have plastic surgery." Dr. Boss would agree with this patient profile, as reflected by the number of procedures he performs at his practice; The New Jersey Cosmetic Surgery Center in Hackensack, NJ.,

With the increasing acceptance of male plastic surgery, the industry is expected to grow, and that growth should accelerate as the economy continues to recover.  It seems that the stigma once attached to such actions is rapidly fading away.  The increasing acceptance of terms like “metrosexual” by men and the success of television shows like “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” shows us  something that women have known all along but that men have been afraid to admit: guys are just as concerned about how they look as gals.

Men prefer procedures that produce rapid recuperation and refresh their looks rather than getting too extensive. Their favorite procedures in my practice are liposuction of abdomen, flanks and back,  They also like to improve their necks and eyelids

You longer have to determine the size of your breast implants prior to surgery, when Adjustable Implants are now an option.

For many women, the post-operative size, shape, or contour of their breasts may not fit their self-image or their expectation. The number one complaint from patients who have had breast augmentation surgery is that they wish their size was a little larger.

According to Dr. William K. Boss, Founder of the NJ Cosmetic Surgery Center, post operative adjustable implants offer the breast augmentation patient numerous benefits including:

•Less anxiety  to determine size and shape of implant prior to the breast augmentation procedure

•Greater control over size of implants and results of surgery

•Enhanced ability to achieve symmetry

•Less risk of implant wrinkling

The surgical procedure used for post operative adjustable implants is similar to other breast augmentation techniques. The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis under a general anesthetic or local anesthesia plus a sedative. Post operative adjustable implants may be placed under the breast tissue or muscle and inserted through an incision in the breast fold, areola or armpit.

What makes this procedure different from other breast augmentation techniques is that the surgeon will also implant a tube and an injection dome under the skin. This will allow the doctor to add or remove saline through a syringe after surgery to increase or decrease breast volume or to alter breast shape. Adjusting is done at a routine office visit and involves a tiny needle that’s smaller than what you use for a blood test.

Cosmetic breast surgery with adjustable breast implants have a remarkably simple design that enables Dr. Boss to elevate and reshape the breast to provide a youthful, natural appearance and be able to make postoperative adjustments for up to 6 months after your surgery.

“Will I ever get my pre-pregnancy body? Sound familiar?

Dr. William K. Boss, Founder of the New Jersey Cosmetic Surgery Center explains how a “mommy makeover” may be just what you are looking for…

Having a new baby is a wonderful experience and most women enjoy being pregnant and are happy to become mothers, but for some, the physical changes can take away some of the joy. If you feel this way, you're not alone. Fortunately, you don't simply have to "learn to love" your post-partum figure as women of earlier generations were told. Today, there are exciting options in plastic surgery to help you regain your pre-pregnancy figure - or even improve on it!

Your body undergoes significant changes during and after pregnancy. With proper nutrition, exercise and the help of time your body will return to a more normal state, probably within a year. However, even getting down to your pre-pregnancy weight may not yield the results you were hoping for. Many Moms complain about stretch marks, excess skin, stubborn fat in certain trouble spots and sagging breasts. But, there are ways to counteract these changes with cosmetic surgery, many of which can be done on an outpatient basis so you can return home and be back with your family that same day!

You give so much of yourself and your resources to your children, and never think twice about it, but sometimes, in the midst of motherhood your own well being gets a little lost. Why not take great care of yourself and raise your children too? Becoming a mother doesn’t mean you can’t look as good as or better than before your pregnancy and that is the philosophy behind Dr. Boss’s Body after Baby program.

“What Can I do to Eliminate Puffy Eyes, Bags under Eyes and Dark Circles?”

EYE TYTE, a revolutionary technique that is performed in seconds!

Our eyes are our most important facial feature! Unfortunately our eyes are the first area of the face to show signs of aging. Fine lines and crow’s feet can start to show in our late 20’s and early 30’s. Puffy eyes, bags under eyes and dark circles can also appear early. Aging changes in the skin cause the eyelid skin to lose elasticity and sag. As the eyelid begins to loosen, normal fat that lies beneath the eyeball pushes forward against the lower eyelid and creates a bulge or eye bag or puffy eye. A shadow forms beneath the protruding puffy eyelid and creates a dark circle beneath the lower eyelid.

Dr. Boss is one of the very few surgeons who perform the Eye Tyte technique developed by renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Solomon from Philadelphia, PA. This minimally invasive procedure involves inserting a tiny laser cannula below the skin and into the bulging fat pads of the lower eyelid. This procedure is done under local anesthesia and done within seconds! The eyelid is tightened with a laser pass underneath the muscle which also just takes seconds, but takes years off your appearance!

“I’m afraid to go under general anesthesia; will I ever be able to have a face lift?”

With the “Cool Lift”, developed by Dr. William K Boss, founder of the NJ Cosmetic Surgery Center, you can simply undergo local anesthesia, and have your surgery completed in about an hour and a half!

Developing innovative procedures like the COOL LIFT™ has been a hallmark of Dr. Boss’s practice for more than two decades. He saw the public's demand for noninvasive or minimally invasive procedures and as a clinician, recognized that noninvasive procedures often mean no results. Developing a procedure that gives results that you can count on was the inspiration for the COOL LIFT™.

The COOL LIFT is a minimally invasive, laser facelift done under local anesthesia and utilizes 4 different standard techniques for skin tightening and rejuvenation. It takes approximately one hour to 90 minutes.
The COOL LIFT™   technique recontours and tightens the skin and reshapes the jowls by utilizing laser liposuction which is an exceedingly difficult area to treat with a standard facelift. The laser lipolysis in the jowls not only reshapes the area but as a result of the heat that is delivered to the undersurface of the skin helps tighten that skin in most patients for 4-9 months following the procedure. The laser liposuction technique is also used in the neck portions of the procedure. Laser liposuction is a standard procedure for liposuctioning of the abdomen, thighs and the back; and has been heralded by many plastic surgeons to have the advantage of creating better skin tightening than one would see with standard liposuction.
Dr. Boss elevates the deep tissues with suspension sutures. He then tightens the muscular layer and finally removes excess skin.

With this technique the skin requires a minimal elevation and can be done under local anesthesia. In addition, the Cool Lift technique does not interrupt the lymphatic channels so that there is less bruising and swelling which results in much more rapid recuperation.  Post-operative downtime is usually 5-7 days before one can return to their usual activities. Dr. Boss performs the COOL LIFT™ on patients from early forties to early seventies.

“I thought all Liposuction was the same, it’s all so confusing!”

“On the contrary”, comments Dr. William K. Boss, Founder of the NJ Cosmetic Surgery Center, “Cool Lipo is the clear cut choice for body contouring and sculpturing.”

The latest in fat dissolving Laser Liposuction is Cool Lipo®, a cutting edge, minimally invasive technology that liquefies fat for easy removal. This procedure has some similarities with other laser assisted liposuction treatments, like SlimLipo®and SmartLipo®, but uses a different wave length that is felt to be more appropriate for dissolving fat.

CoolLipo has a unique wave length that directly influences collagen contraction and skin tightening which has been demonstrated by the original cool laser therapy designed for external treatment of facial skin wrinkles affect that standard liposuction does not have.

CoolLipo®, is ideal for both men and women looking to remove excess fat in relatively small areas of the body, such as under the chin, neck and jowls. It can also be used in areas under the arms and around the abdomen, thighs, back while giving liposuction patients substantial results with as little downtime as possible.

Dr. Boss has now enhanced his technique with CoolLipo® to preform virtually all his liposuction under local and without general anesthesia.
