Body-Jet®

For many individuals, shedding those extra pounds can be difficult if not impossible, even with proper diet and exercise. Certain trouble spots like the love handles in men and saddle bags in women can prove particularly challenging.

ADVANCED BODY SHAPING TECHNIQUE…

Dr. Berkowitz performs an advanced technique for liposuction known as Body-Jet® liposuction, which offers a gentler, faster, more effective alternative to traditional liposuction. This minimally-invasive, water-jet assisted form of liposuction uses the natural flow and gentle power of water to sculpt and reshape the body. In just a matter of hours, your body shape can be transformed. While just about any area of the body can be treated, common areas include the chin, arms, abdomen, hips, thighs and knees.

During the procedure, Dr. Berkowitz uses a water spray device that applies a gentle, pulsating spray of fluid to quickly and efficiently dislodge and break down the fat cells. The doctor controls the amount of pressure that is used throughout the procedure. This is a much gentler, quicker form of liposuction, resulting in less trauma to the surrounding tissues, meaning there is less bleeding, bruising and swelling. At the same time, the Body-Jet® technique is more precise than traditional liposuction with improved skin tightening and body sculpting and fewer lumps and bumps for a superior cosmetic result. And because there are no stitches, there is no scarring.

ENSURING YOUR COMFORT AND SAFETY…

Body-Jet® liposuction is performed under local anesthesia. General anesthesia is not required. This form of liposuction is much gentler than traditional liposuction and generally involves less discomfort and a lower risk of medical complications.  

QUICKER RECOVERY…

Body-Jet® is a much gentler form of liposuction. Patients experience significantly less swelling, bruising and discomfort. Recovery is generally quick and easy with minimal downtime. In fact, patients can even drive themselves home after treatment, and most patients are able to immediately return to work and other normal activities. The results of Body-Jet® liposuction are permanent and the fat cells that are removed do not grow back. Any future weight is typically distributed elsewhere on the body.
