California Surgeon Develops New Plastic Procedure

A Sarasota, California based plastic surgeon has created a fiber optic laser
that has the ability to zap away fat from patients face, chin, neck, jowls
and nose. Dr. David Holcomb has dubbed the new procedure AccuLift, which
takes Holcomb roughly 90-minutes to perform the procedure. The beauty of
the procedure is that is requires only a local anaesthetic and can be done
at Dr. Holcomb's offices.

The Lakewood Ranch Herald reported on their local plastic surgeon saying,
"The results the doctor has gotten are so dramatic that he is setting up a
training program at the Holcomb Facial Plastic Surgery Center at One School
Ave., Sarasota - to be called The Institute for Integrated Aesthetics - so
other plastic surgeons can learn his procedure. s Shields watches, Holcomb
makes an incision near where the work is to be done and guides the laser
using a light at the tip. As the laser delivers the wave length of energy,
the fat melts into a liquid and actually runs out like tears."

Although the procedure requires little down-time, it may take a toll on your
budgeting this year. Procedure can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $6,000,
based on how many areas are being lifted and melted. Likewise, post-surgery
injections and fillers may be necessary, those of which will also cost a
fair bit. So for those of you keen on convenience and have expendable money
this may be a great option for anti-aging and fat-removal.
