LOOK AND FEEL THEIR BEST.
EVERY YEAR PEOPLE MAKE THOSE
RESOLUTIONS TO LOSE WEIGHT, GET

IN SHAPE.
IN SHAPE. >> ACCORDING TO AMERICAN
SOCIETY OF PLASTIC SURGEONS,
230,000 PEOPLE WILL GET
LIPOSUCTION AND ANOTHER 450,000
HAVE A NONSURGICAL FAT
REDUCTION PROCEDURE.
REDUCTION PROCEDURE. DR. CAMILLE SASS AND JOINS US
NOW WITH MORE.
>> I THINK IT IS GREAT THAT WE
ARE DOING THIS RIGHT AFTER THE
MAC & CHEESE SEGMENT, BY THE
WAY.
WAY.
WAY. I
WAY. I JUST WANT TO THROW THAT OUT
THERE.
THERE.
THERE. WE
THERE. WE ACTUALLY HAVE DR. BROOKE
LIDGE HERE WHO IS A PLASTIC
SURGEON AND THE DIRECTOR OF
COSMETICS AT UC HEALTH.
SHE IS HERE TO TALK A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT SURGICAL AND
NONSURGICAL APPROACHES FOR HOW
TO GET RID OF THAT EXTRA
UNWANTED FAT.
UNWANTED FAT. WE TALKED ABOUT ALL OF THE TIPS
FOR HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT BUT
THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS AND I
HAVE TO SAY, I DID NOT LEARN
ABOUT A LOT OF THESE THINGS IN
MEDICAL SCHOOL.
MEDICAL SCHOOL. WHAT ARE THE NONSURGICAL WAYS
THAT PEOPLE CAN GET RID OF
EXTRA FAT.
EXTRA FAT. >> THERE ARE A PLETHORA OF
TECHNOLOGIES BEHIND NONSURGICAL
LIPOSUCTION.
LIPOSUCTION. THEY ARE BASED ON EITHER
RADIOFREQUENCY, LASER,
RADIOFREQUENCY, LASER, ULTRASOUND, CRYO- LIPOLYSIS OR
INJECTABLE MATERIALS.
INJECTABLE MATERIALS. >> SO, I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL
HYPE, RIGHT?
HYPE, RIGHT? WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THESE
DIRECT TO CONSUMER MARKETING
THINGS ABOUT COOL SCULPTING AND
I WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT.
SO, WHAT EXACTLY IS IT, FIRST.
>> IT IS A NONINVASIVE
LIPOSUCTION TECHNOLOGY.
LIPOSUCTION TECHNOLOGY. WHEREBY YOU DELIVER COLD OR
CRYO- THROUGH APPLICATORS THAT
ARE FDA APPROVED FOR PARTICULAR
AREAS OF YOUR BODY SUCH AS YOUR
ARMS, YOUR TUMMY, YOUR THIGHS,
EVEN THE LITTLE ONE FOR YOUR
CHIN.
CHIN.
CHIN. THAT DELIVERS THE COLD IN A
PROPRIETARY TEMPERATURE, AND
ULTIMATELY DRIVES THE CELLS TO
PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH.
>> YOU HAVE THESE DEAD CELLS
THAT ARE LITERALLY DYING.
WE ARE SHOWING PICTURES OF THE
BEFORE AND AFTER MY PROCEDURE,
WHICH I WILL TELL YOU, DO NOT
BELIEVE COULD ACTUALLY WORK.
SO, I GOT MY LOVE HANDLES DONE
AND MY STOMACH AND I WAS REALLY
SURPRISED.
SURPRISED. I'M GOING TO SAY THAT.
IT FELT LIKE A POPSICLE WAS
BEING MADE OUT OF MY TUMMY FOR
SURE.
SURE.
SURE. IT
SURE. IT WAS LITTLE BIT PAINFUL.
BUT, A LOT OF PEOPLE GET THESE
PROCEDURES DONE.
PROCEDURES DONE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 350,000
PEOPLE IN THE US.
WHAT ARE THINGS PEOPLE SHOULD
LOOK OUT FOR?
THESE ARE NOT ALWAYS DONE IN
DOCTORS OFFICES.
DOCTORS OFFICES. >> THAT IS TRUE.
MANY OF THESE PROCEDURES ARE
OFFERED AT EITHER MEDICAL SPAS
OR PHYSICIAN, DERMATOLOGIST
PLASTIC SURGEON OFFICES ETC.
THE COMPANY SELLS THEM TO EACH
OF THESE OFFICES AND YOU WOULD
EXPECT OR ASSUME THAT THERE
WOULD BE A SERIES OF TRAININGS
THAT WOULD -- THE TECHNICIAN,
OR YOU KNOW -- MID-LEVEL OR THE
PHYSICIAN PREPARE TO BE ABLE TO
DELIVER THESE.
DELIVER THESE. >> YOU SHOULD ASK CERTAIN
QUESTIONS THOUGH, RIGHT?
IS THERE A DOCTOR ON SITE?
IN MY THE RIGHT CANDIDATE?
THIS IS NOT ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS,
THIS IS SPOT REDUCTION IF YOU
WANT A TWO PACK, LIKE I DID.
RIGHT?
RIGHT?
RIGHT? THERE IS ALSO THE OPPOSITE OF
THAT WHERE YOU HAVE SURGICAL
OPTIONS.
OPTIONS.
OPTIONS. SO, THERE IS LIPOSUCTION VERSUS
A TUMMY TUCK.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THOSE TWO?
>> AFTER YOU GET OUT OF THE
REALM OF THE NONINVASIVE
LIPOSUCTION, THERE IS MORE
INVASIVE SURGICAL PROCEDURES.
LIPOSUCTION HAS BEEN AROUND FOR
DECADES AND AGAIN, THERE ARE
SOME NUANCES IN THE TECHNOLOGY
SUCH AS ULTRASOUND ASSISTANCE
WITH SOMETHING LIKE LASER OR
REGULAR SUCTION ASSISTANCE
WHICH IS LIPOSUCTION
TRADITIONALLY.
TRADITIONALLY. AND, WHAT THAT IS IS A SURGICAL
PROCEDURE IN WHICH VERY SMALL
INCISIONS ARE MADE AND IT
MECHANICALLY REMOVES THE FAT.
>> YOU ARE SUCKING OUT THE FAT
AND SOMETIMES THAT CAN HAPPEN
IN THE OFFICE OR IN THE
OPERATING ROOM.
OPERATING ROOM. AND THEN, THERE IS ACTUALLY
SOMETHING EVEN MORE INVASIVE,
WHICH IS LET'S SAY, THE TUMMY
TUCK PROCEDURE, HOW DOES THAT
WORK?
WORK?
WORK? >>
WORK? >> A TUMMY TUCK IS TRADING
EXCESS SKIN AND FAT FOR A SCAR,
USUALLY BELOW THE LEVEL OF THE
SWIMSUIT.
SWIMSUIT.
SWIMSUIT. >> SURGERY IS NOT GOING TO BE
FOR EVERYBODY.
FOR EVERYBODY. I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT .1 OF
THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO KE
SURE THAT WE TALK ABOUT, THERE
ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
GOING OUT OF COUNTRY EVEN
POTENTIALLY TO GET SOME OF
THESE PROCEDURES DONE AND THERE
ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.
THIS IS SURGERY.
EVEN LIPOSUCTION AGAIN, IS A
SURGICAL PROCEDURE.
SURGICAL PROCEDURE. SO, WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE THINK
ABOUT OR ASK ABOUT?
>> THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT
THING IS PROBABLY ASSURING THAT
YOUR PHYSICIAN IS A BOARD-
CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON BY
THE AMERICAN BOARD OF PLASTIC
SURGEONS.
SURGEONS.
SURGEONS. THIS WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS
DOCTOR HAS BEEN VETTED AND YOU
ALSO WANT TO KNOW ABOUT
EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE.
SO, BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS IF
YOU CAN GET THEM.
>> AND, EVEN IF THEY WILL LET
YOU TALK TO OTHER PATIENTS
POTENTIALLY ALSO.
POTENTIALLY ALSO. I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE KEY
THINGS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE, THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE
FOR EVERYBODY.
FOR EVERYBODY. YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR OWN VETTING
BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO
KNOW REALLY, WHAT IS OUT THERE.
SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
JOINING US TODAY, AND AGAIN,
