ULTRASONIC LIPOSUCTION

In 1996, Dr. Dolsky left Philadelphia to learn about the new ultrasonic liposuction being used in England, France and Italy. Upon his return, he chaired a national task force to study and investigate this new technique. Since 1996, Dr. Dolsky has taught hundreds of other physicians the ultrasonic technique of liposuction. He recently served as an investigator in the Mentor/FDA Ultrasonic Liposuction Study.

During ultrasonic liposuction, Dr. Dolsky uses high frequency sound waves to liquefy fat cells. The ultrasound works primarily on the fatty cells and does not injure blood vessels and nerves. Although highly effective in many cases, ultrasonic liposuction is not an appropriate option for every patient. The patients who experience the greatest benefit from ultrasonic liposuction are those with very fibrous tissue or loose skin, as well as patients in need of large volume fat removal. Male patients may benefit from ultrasonic liposuction as a treatment for male love handles and excess abdominal fat.
