Each year the International Society of Plastic  Surgeons finds out which procedures are the most common in the world.  This year it was liposuction.  And for good reason. Liposuction is an effective and safe procedure that removes unwanted fat deposits.  Contrast that with the so called "noninvasive" procedures that freeze, heat, or fry fat.  Those procedures also have complications and are less effective and sometimes more costly than liposuction.  We'll discuss the 1% paradoxical GROWTH of fat with cryolipolysis on today's show.  We also discuss the new VECTRA 3D camera and the newest VISIA skin analysis computer cameras.  New technology for a new year...
