Multiple Liposuction Technologies to Suit Your Unique Needs
You don’t have to figure this out on your own!
At your consultation you will first be greeted by one of Dr. Falcone’s team to review your history and concerns. Then you will be with Dr. Falcone. Dr. Falcone meets with every patient….unlike some offices where you can only meet with a consultant.
Dr. Falcone will take the time to personally discuss your concerns and develop a unique treatment plan for your specific needs.
Dr. Falcone has a massive personal investment of time and money to bring you multiple liposuction technologies to customize each procedure to your specific needs & goals.
The liposuction technology used for your procedure will depend on your unique situation. Do you have a slight bulge? Loose skin? Would you like to transfer the removed fat to your face, hands, or buttocks or use your removed fat to fill in acne scars? Are you treating a double chin? Enlarged male breast tissue? Your thighs? Your arms? Lipedema in the thighs and arms?
Based your unique body and goals Dr. Falcone may combine several of the technologies below to give you the most sculpted and refined appearance.
There is no additional charge for the use of multiple technologies. Dr. Falcone’s desire is to give you the best possible liposuction results.
BodyJet Liposuction, Water Assisted Liposuction (Aquashape)
Body Jet Liposuction is a transformative new technique for liposuction that gently dislodges fat cells from surrounding connective tissue using pulses of anesthetic fluid. As the water jet dislodges the unwanted fat, it is gently suctioned from the area in one continuous process. The result is less fluid in the body at any given time than with the previous wet or tumescent (local anesthetic) techniques, making it possible to see the end result when the procedure is completed.
Body Jet Liposuction is also a liposuction technique that removes fat so that it can be transferred to other parts of the body such as the face, hands, or buttocks. A patient’s fat grafting procedure can be done the same day as their Body Jet Liposuction procedure, all while the patient is awake. The fat removed by the Body Jet is suctioned into a sterile container and then placed into syringes for injection in other areas.
Fat transfer can be used as injectable filler for facial wrinkles, lip augmentation, hand rejuvenation, or butt augmentation with results lasting three to five years or longer. Once the fat is removed for transfer, SmartLipo™ can be used to tighten the remaining skin.
Body Jet Liposuction is Dr. Falcone’s favorite technique for sculpting thighs. It is also the indicated technique for treating Lipedema….a fat storage disorder in which Dr. Falcone has over 10 years of experience in treating.
SmartLipo Triplex , Laser Assisted Liposuciton
To tighten loose skin we use the SmartLipo™ Triplex laser. SmartLipo harnesses the power of a unique laser to liquefy and destroy fat cells. The laser simultaneously tightens skin to help prevent the presence of “hanging skin” that often accompanies older liposuction techniques.. The result is a much improved, smoother result.
In general, SmartLipo™ as a single treatment may be a good option for patients who generally healthy and within 25 pounds of their ideal weight, have areas of localized fat deposits that have been unresponsive to diet and/or exercise, and are motivated to rid themselves of these fatty areas*. If you have more than 25 pounds to lose, Dr. Falcone will often combine the procedure with another technology to ensure that all deeper fat is removed.
Vaser Liposelection
VASER® Liposelection uses ultrasound that can be targeted to specific fat tissue leaving the connective tissue around it nearly undisturbed. It efficiently breaks up, emulsifies and removes unwanted fat and can be directed to a very specific area or region. This not only offers a superior result but also gives patients tighter results with often less bruising than traditional liposuction procedures.
Vaser Liposelection is used for removing deeper level fat. It is also used for patients who had previous liposuction procedures and may have scar tissue to deal with.
Vaser Liposelection is also excellent for providing very high definition results on superficial areas.
Dr. Falcone often combines Vaser with Smartlipo Triplex to provide advanced skin tightening where it is needed.
Lipo 360
Lipo 360 and “circumferential liposuction” are just terms that refer to liposuction around the entire torso. Dr. Falcone is a pioneer in liposuction. She was performing this type of liposuction before the phrase was ever coined.
The majority of patients who come for liposuction are women who desire a more attractive and aesthetically proportioned physique. As a woman, Dr Falcone has a unique appreciation of how important this is for her patients.
It’s not enough just to remove fat. There is an artistry to removing fat …and sometimes even transferring that fat to other areas…in a way that makes a woman feel truly beautiful.
You can see impressive before and after photos of these transformations in your consultation.
Puregraft
If you intend to transfer the fat removed during your liposuction to other areas like your face, hands, or buttocks, then you will be interested in the Falcone Center’s Puregraft technology. The Falcone Center uses the leading-edge Puregraft system by Cytori instead of the older centrifugation technique.
The puregraft system is the only fat grafting system clinically validated to improve long-term graft retention, and produce superior fat transfer outcomes.
The puregraft system is the only fat grafting system clinically validated to improve long-term graft retention, and produce superior fat transfer outcomes.
Developed by some of the world’s foremost experts in adipose science, the Puregraft System was designed to standardize fat grafting, and address the procedure’s biggest weakness…inconsistency and unpredictability.
Puregraft’s selective filtration technology gently dialyzes the harvested fat, removing only blood, oil, fluid, and fragmented cells within a closed system. The result is a concentrated graft of healthy, viable fat cells.
Traditional methods of fat graft preparation are not effective at removing contaminants which cause decreased retention. Data published in a peer-reviewed article comparing Puregraft to centrifugation and the decant method show consistently lower contaminant levels in Puregraft. Microscopic appearance of the fat also shows significantly more purified and concentrated viable adipocytes using the Puregraft technology.
After the fat is purified Dr. Falcone will then skillfully re-inject it with specially designed needles into the areas that need augmentation.
The Wells Johnson Closed Fat Transfer System
Another cutting edge fat transfer technology used by the Falcone Center is the Wells Johnson High Volume Precision (HVP) Auto-Graft Infusion System.
It is a highly customizable closed system with specialized cannulas for fat collection and transfer. The Wells Johnson HVP reduces the chance of infection, and increases the viability of transferred fat for better results.
The Wells Johnson Auto-Graft Infusion System can collect a high volume of fat gently and store it in a sealed sterile environment before the transfer process. It is an ideal way to guarantee the safest, long-lasting results for our patients.
The system consists of two types of cannulas, harvesting and re-injection cannulas. These cannulas are designed uniquely for their specific task of collecting and re-inserting a large volume of live tissue. They are designed especially for compatibility, with corresponding port sizes. This guarantees that the access points of the body remain as small and consistent a size as possible.
A Vibrator Tissue Separator separates the harvested tissue into its usable components using low-level vibration. This eliminates centrifugal forces from the process and accelerates the rate at which the fat and fluids separate. Tissue can be separated without interruption during active fat harvesting.
AMLI Micronized Fat Transfer
One of the many advanced technologies at Falcone Center is AMLI Micronized Fat Transfer. Micronized Fat Transfer is a new breakthrough technology for restoring fat volume in your face and hands.
In previous methods of fat transfer the fat being transferred was often lumpy and almost half the fat cells transferred would eventually die. This made results unpredictable. Especially in areas that required smaller volumes of transfer and symmetry like the face. So most facial rejuvenation was done with hyaluronic acid fillers which had a more predictable consistency.
AMLI Micronized Fat Transfer is a game changer. The harvested fat is now mixed with plasma from your own blood and then processed and separated in a centrifuge. The end product is then emulsified which makes the fat thinner for injection similar to the consistency of hyaluronic acid fillers. So it can now offer very nice results in fine areas like the face and hands and even the male and female genitalia.
Since the AMLI Micronized Fat Transfer consists of your own fat cells and plasma there is a greatly reduced chance of reaction to the injection compared to fillers. And they last longer. Often as long as 5 years compared to fillers which may last 6 months to two years.
Free $100 Body Screening Included with Every Consultation
The Falcone Center team is committed to your long term success. In every liposuction consultation our patients can receive a free screening report from the In-Body Scale. Some practices charge $100 or more for this screening alone. The In-Body Scale measures body fat percentages independently in different areas of your body like the arms, legs, and torso. It calculates your calorie burn at rest. And it gives advanced readings on muscle mass. A summary report is then generated that give your personalized suggestions for body composition improvement. Patients can return to the Falcone Center for more free readings after their procedure to help monitor and maintain their results.
Dr. Falcone’s extensive and unique expertise in liposuction, nutrition, weight loss, and anti-aging medicine makes her uniquely qualified to help you on your transformation journey.
Cost of Liposuction
In general, liposuction costs between $1200 to $2500 per area. Our minimum procedure charge at the Falcone Center is $3500.
Fat transfer procedures are usually in the $4500-$6000 range depending on the number of areas of liposuction required to have enough fat for the transfer.
You will be provided with a specific quote during your consultation once the areas of treatment have been determined. The more areas that can be combined on the same day of treatment, the less the cost per area. You may want to have your entire back and abdomen treated in one day but depending on your size, it could exceed safety parameters.
The safety parameters when using tumescent local anesthesia cannot be overlooked. The amount of numbing fluid that can be used per day is based on your body weight, medications and other health parameters. These parameters will determine the number of areas of treatment per day.
You will only pay for the areas that can be treated in one session. Dr. Falcone can only estimate the number areas that may be combined per day. She has performed liposuction thousands of times and she will talk to you about whether or not you may need two procedures during your consultation. Your quote will break down the costs based on the number of areas that may be treated in one day.
Our most popular area of liposuction is the abdomen which consists of 4 areas: anterior braline/chest line, Upper Abdomen, Lower Abdomen, Anterior Waistline. The cost varies depending on the size of the area. Some patients need all 4 areas treated and others do not. If you want to treat all 4 areas of the abdomen, the cost range is typically between $4250 and $5250.
Abdominal liposuction is often combined with the flank or side areas for a “Lipo 360” look. Lipo 360 is not a specific technique. Lipo 360 refers to the fact that a person is having liposuction all the way around their waistline. The cost for Lipo 360 is often in the $4500 to $5500 range.
Lipedema treatment sessions with Water-Assisted, Body Jet liposuction are typically $4400-$5000 per session. We do not accept insurance for Lipedema treatment but can provide you with a bill to submit to your insurance company to see if they will reimburse the cost to you.
In general, liposuction surgery for cosmetic purposes is not covered by insurance of any kind.
Everyone’s body is unique, and Dr. Falcone will include your personalized pricing along with a unique treatment plan in your personal consultation.
We offer patient financing through Greensky, CareCredit®, United Medical Credit, & LendingUSA. There are 6 month interest free options available through GreenSky and CareCredit if you have a credit score above 640. If your credit score is lower we suggest you start with United Medical credit. Many patients with lower credit also use a co-signer with their application to get approved.
You can apply for financing using the links on the FINANCING Section of our website.
And we accept Visa and MasterCard.
The deposit to select your procedure date is $1500. The balance for the procedure is due 2 weeks prior to your appointment.
Non-Surgical Alternatives to Liposuction
Dr. Falcone also offers non-surgical fat reduction solutions. If one of these is appropriate for your situation she will recommend it.
Non-Surgical fat reduction procedures like Coolsculpting and Sculpsure have become popular lately but they are not for everyone. Be sure and ask Dr. Falcone about these and any other questions you may have in your consultation.
