As a solo physician in New York City, Dr. Keith Berman focuses on plastic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Keith Berman is also a member of the Lipoplasty Society of North America. His expertise includes ultrasonic-assisted lipoplasty, a procedure that removes unwanted fat. As he consults with prospective patients, Dr. Berman explains the surgery and the unique benefits of his supervised weight reduction plan. Lipoplasty works best for people whose weight is average or slightly above average, who have fat that has not been affected by proper nutrition or exercise. After an anesthetic is administered to enlarge and numb the fatty area, a probe is placed under the skin. Ultrasound waves create negative pressure that liquifies and collapses fat cells, which are then sucked out easily. Often, most excess fat can be removed in one session. Benefits of lipoplasty include a lack of damage to connective tissue and blood cells; also, the procedure safely removes dense fat in the back. Afterward, patients must wear support hose or a girdle for as many as six weeks. Putting on lost weight is possible, although generally it does not happen in the treated areas.
