 The LipoSelection procedure uses the VASER® System's patented innovative ultrasound technology which emulsifies the fat before it is removed and then leaves nerves and blood vessels largely undisturbed. Due to these advances:
- Patients and physicians report low to minimal pain and bruising.
- Surgeons are able to work with such precision that they can shape delicate areas like the inner thighs, arms, chin and neck. Ivivi Technologies’ Advanced Recovery System top of page
Ivivi's SofPulse™ uses their patented, non-invasive, non-pharmacologic, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) technology to induce a micro-current in injured tissues. Put more simply, the magnetic fields help reduce swelling and speed up healing after surgery.
The system, consisting of a signal generator and an applicator can be used in conjunction with any post-procedural protocols, dressings or compression systems. At Sunset Cosmetic, certain compression garments contain the pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) technologyto speed healing and help reduce postoperative swelling.
The use of this FDA-cleared technology for treating pain and edema has been endorsed by the ASAPS Innovative Procedure Committee in 2001:
“Pulsed electromagnetic fields therapy has been widely successful, safe and efficacious in the treatment of soft tissue swelling and in wound healing...”  On-Q Pain Pump System for Post-Tummy Tuck Patients

The On-Q pain pump from I-Flow company is used by our patients recovering from their tummy tucks for 1 week and it runs by itself 24/7 and it needs no adjustments. The system provides a continuous infusion of a local anesthetic directly to the treatment area for postoperative pain management. This makes it possible for the patient to be pain-free, while eliminating the effects often seen with oral pain medications or injections. Patients often comment on how easy their recovery process was using the pain pump system (we usually have to remind them to continue taking it easy even though they feel pretty good!).
