Microsuction With Dr. Gerald Imber
The term “microsuction” for fat removal was actually coined by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gerald Imber, who practices in New York City. It is a combination of “micro” and “liposuction” and, as the name suggests, serves as his advanced method for removing very small fat deposits using tiny, fine-tuned liposuction tools.
During your initial consultation with Dr. Imber, he will examine your areas of concern very carefully, looking for one or more of the following possible signs it could be time for a microsuction procedure:
Double Chin
A double chin can develop due to genetics, aging, or weight fluctuations, resulting in unwanted fullness in the submental region. Sit back and pull your chin in. If you notice an instant double chin, you may be a candidate for microsuction. The procedure is used to remove excess fat, creating a smoother transition from chin to neck.
Jowls
Jowls are a collection of sagging, loose skin along the jawline and are a common sign of aging. Microsuction can effectively tighten the skin and restore definition between your neck and jawline.
Perioral Mounds
Perioral mounds are the small fat bulges at the corners of the mouth. If these deposits are noticeable, microsuction is utilized to smooth and refine the contours of the face, resulting in a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Laugh Lines
Nasolabial folds, also called laugh lines, are natural but can deepen with underlying fat deposits, making the face look older. With microsuction, Dr. Imber removes this fat tissue to soften their look and create a smoother transition between the cheeks and mouth.
Cankles
Microsuction isn’t just for the face. Cankles happen when the calf and ankle blend without definition because of fat deposits. They can be persistent despite a healthy lifestyle. If your ankles lack definition and look thicker, we can perform ankle microsuction for a more sculpted and slender appearance, enhancing the overall look of your legs.
Still Having Elastic Skin
The success of microsuction heavily depends on your skin’s elasticity. The patient’s skin needs to be able to shrink back smoothly after the fat is removed; otherwise, they will still have loose, empty skin. If you have too much skin laxity for facial microsuction, Dr. Imber might instead recommend a facelift or neck lift.
