Is in-office liposuction better than traditional liposuction?

“There are several advantages,” Dr. Randy Birken said, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics.  “First, there’s no general anesthesia, making the procedure safe.  And secondly, the surgeon can do more fat sculpturing since the patient can turn and even stand, exposing areas of fat that may be missed when the patient is sleep.”

In-office liposuction is less costly as well, since there are no anesthesia or hospital facility fees.  Done with tumescent local anesthesia, the patient experiences no pain during the procedure and can even watch as fat is reduced and suctioned away.

“It really is the way to do liposuction today,” Dr. Birken says.  “More effective, safer, and less expensive.  The Awake laser liposuction, using tumescent anesthesia, is preferred by most patients.”

Dr. Birken is a board certified gynecologist and member of both the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons and the American Academy of Cosmetic Gynecologists.

Liposuction is usually done under a general anesthetic. But some physicians perform the procedure with laser and while the patient is awake in an office setting.

“By using the tumescent anesthetic technique, the patient is awake and recovers quicker, ” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified physician said.  “Not only is it an easier procedure on the patient, but we can sculpture the fat better by having the patient turn and even standup.”

Dr. Birken uses laser to help improve healing and skin tightening.

“Fat has to be suctioned thoroughly,” Dr. Birken continued.  “But the laser adds a nice touch to the results.”

Cosmetic gynecology includes vaginal reconstruction for vaginal tightness and labiaplasty for elongated or non-symmetrical labia.  But what is the best technique?

“Using the laser allows a more precise surgery and quicker healing,” Dr. Randy Birken said.

Dr. Birken is a board certified gynecologist and specializes in pelvic reconstruction.  He has trained with Dr. David Matlock of Dr. 90201 fame and is a member of the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of America.

“Women who have had children may experience vaginal looseness,” Dr. Birken continued. “By performing the laser vaginal rejuvenation procedure as pioneered by Dr. Matlock, a restored vaginal canal results with improvement in bladder and rectal control as well as increased sexual intimacy response.”

For those women who have wider and elongated labia, exercise limitations and aesthetic compromise can be corrected with the designer laser vaginoplasty procedure, the name for Dr. Matlock’s laser labiaplasty or laser labial reduction surgery.

“Using the laser instead of conventional knife surgery, healing is quick with minimal pain and inflammation,” Dr. Birken said.  “After six weeks, patients who undergo labiaplasty have a new aesthetic appearance and those with vaginal looseness now have anatomy like they did before having children.  They happen with both the looks and function.”
