Cutting-edge Technology
Solta Medical
VaserLipo utilizes ultrasound energy for minimally invasive aesthetic body contouring that yields dramatic results with less pain and downtime than traditional liposuction. The use of Vaser fat emulsification allows for an even and smooth removal of fat, which is then further optimized by Renuvion J-plasma skin tightening.
Apyx Medical
Renuvion provides leading-edge technology in intraoperative skin tightening, using radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to create controlled coagulation and contraction of soft tissue below the skin. Loose skin after removal of fat is one of the most unwanted outcomes after liposuction. By using Renuvion intraoperatively, there is an immediate contraction of the fibroseptal network, which continues to induce skin tightening through collagen production for the next several months postoperatively.
Liposuction , "Lipo"
Details
Liposuction surgery sculpts your body, eliminating unwanted pockets of exercise and diet- resistant fat from the buttocks, hips, love handles, saddlebags, thighs, calves, ankles, breasts (including male breasts), back, arms and neck. Liposuction is often combined with other procedures to create a desired shape and is one of the safest and most popular cosmetic procedures. Liposuction removes fat cells from your body, and these fat cells will not grow back. However, it is important to maintain a stable weight to ensure that your new look remains optimal. If you gain a significant amount of weight in the future, your overall appearance is likely to change as your body stores excess fat in other locations and the remaining fat cells in the liposuctioned area can grow larger.
Downtime
You can expect 5-7 days of downtime
Who is a good candidate?
- Non-smokers
- Individuals in generally good health without conditions that impair wound healing
- Adults within 30% of their ideal weight who have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone
- Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic expectations
Recovery
When the procedure is performed by a qualified cosmetic surgeon, recovery from liposuction can be remarkably quick. Many patients return to work just a few days after their procedures, depending on the physical requirements of their jobs and the extent of their procedures. You will receive a compression garment to wear for a few weeks following surgery, which helps to minimize swelling and encourage optimal skin contraction.
Tummy Tuck
Details
Tummy tuck surgery, or "abdominoplasty", tightens and reshapes the abdominal area, helping to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing, slimmer overall appearance. Having a flatter, firmer midsection can dramatically improve the way clothing fits and looks, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your body. During the procedure, the abdominal muscles are tightened and excess sagging skin is eliminated, correcting a protruding belly and leaving the midsection flatter and better toned. Tummy tucks are a popular procedure for men and women, particularly those whose bodies have undergone dramatic changes from weight loss or pregnancy.
Downtime
Tummy tuck patients can expect 6 weeks of lifting restrictions
Who is a good candidate?
- Non-smokers
- Individuals 25-65 years old in generally good health without conditions that impair wound healing
- Individuals bothered by the appearance of their abdomen
- Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic expectations
Recovery
The majority of tummy tucks can be performed as outpatient procedures, and patients go home a few hours after surgery. However, your cosmetic surgeon may require an overnight hospital stay after a more extensive tummy tuck so you can be safely monitored during the initial hours of your recovery. Because a tummy tuck involves surgery on the abdominal muscles, recovery after a tummy tuck takes more time than that for other procedures.
Mommy Makeover
Details
A “Mommy Makeover” is a combination of different procedures designed to restore the look of a woman’s body to its pre-pregnancy state. The procedures commonly combined include a tummy tuck, breast augmentation with lift (if necessary) and body sculpting. The first and simplest way to address loose skin after pregnancy is through a tummy tuck. In addition to removing the skin and stretch marks during the abdominoplasty, Dr. Jacobson may tighten, if necessary, the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti repair) if they have been weakened by your pregnancy.
Downtime
Mommy makeover patients can expect 6 weeks of lifting restrictions

- Individuals bothered by the appearance of their abdomen
- Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic expectations

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Details
Buttock augmentation is a procedure that reshapes and enhances your gluteal area, providing you with an uplifted and shapelier buttock profile. The shape and proportion of a person’s buttocks are largely determined by genetics; both your skeletal structure and how your body stores fat influence the appearance of the lower body. The most frequent methods for enlarging and reshaping your buttocks are fat grafting using your own natural fatty tissue (popularly referred to as the Brazilian butt lift). Brazilian butt lift surgery can help overcome the effects of genetics by reshaping the buttocks and surrounding areas, such as the hips, lower back, and thighs.
Downtime
5-10 days of downtime can be expected
Who is a good candidate?
- Non-smokers
- Individuals 25-55 years old in generally good health without conditions that impair wound healing
- Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic expectations
Recovery
You can expect swelling, bruising and some pain after your procedure. You will have compression garments that will need to be worn for a minimum of 6-8 weeks. We strongly encourage 7-10 days of downtime to recover. You will have lifting restrictions for a minimum of 1 week for optimum results.
Arm Lift
Details
An arm lift reduces excess skin and fat from the arms. Also known as brachioplasty, an arm lift reshapes the under portion of the upper arm, from the underarm region to the elbow. Removing the excess skin caused by weight loss or natural aging can tighten loose skin that extends from the underarm area to the elbow; liposuction is sometimes used in combination to achieve the best results.
Downtime
You can expect to have 14 days of downtime
Who is a good candidate?
- Non-smokers
- Individuals 18-65+ years old in generally good health without conditions that impair wound healing
- Individuals who desire aesthetic enhancement to remove loose skin in upper arms
- Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic expectations
Recovery
You can expect swelling, bruising, tightness and some pain after your procedure. You will have compression garments that will need to be worn for a minimum of 6-8 weeks. We strongly encourage 14 days of downtime to recover. You will have lifting restrictions for 6 weeks.
