July 26, 2012

Dr. Fredric M. Barr of Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery was recently interviewed for a CBS 12 News Special Report highlighting the growing popularity of mini-liposuction for men.

"It targets diet and exercise resistant areas, a minimally-invasive procedure that's growing in popularity among men,” said Dr. Barr of the mini-lipo procedure." "This has become pretty attractive to a lot of people because it's in the office, it's a local anesthetic, no pills or IV's. Recovery time is minimal."

Mini-liposuction involves a one-inch incision, a long needle for the numbing medicine and a longer cannula to remove extra fat. The procedure lasts about two hours and results are immediately apparent. Main areas of the body that patients request mini-lipo for include the neck, breast, arms, flanks, stomach, hips, thighs, knees and calves. Dr. Barr, who has been in practice for 28 years, says these quick in-and-out procedures for men account for roughly 30 percent of his business.
