Last Sunday, Steve Blow wrote a column about breast augmentation with fat grafting in the Dallas Morning News. One of the only Dallas plastic surgeons to offer this innovative procedure, Dr. Schwartz was interviewed and quoted in the article. If you missed the story, you can read it here.
For years, patients have been asking me the question, “can’t you take the fat from here (and they would point to their tummy, love handles, or buttocks) and put it here (pointing to their breasts)?” Well, finally, finally, finally the answer to that question is, “yes.”
That means I can now remove the fat from the places you don’t want it…and use it to enlarge your breasts. You get fuller, larger breasts — without any implants — and a leaner figure at the same time.
Have you ever seen a liposuction? Between all the plastic surgery TV shows and YouTube, I’ll bet the answer is, “Yes.” I’m also willing to bet you didn’t think that liposuction procedure looked very pretty.
You really need to wipe that image from your brain because Vaser lipo procedures look nothing like that.
This 43-year-old was frustrated by fat on her abdomen and flanks. I performed Vaser ultrasonic liposuction flattening her tummy and reducing her love handles. (more…)
Dr. Schwartz explains why he thinks the Vaser ultrasonic system is the best liposuction technique. The Vaser removes your fat more evenly and more gently. The results are smoother and more dramatic and the recovery is easier. Dr. Schwartz was one of the first Dallas plastic surgeons to use the Vaser. (more…)
I saw this 23-year-old in my office yesterday one day after we did high definition Vaser liposuction on her abdomen. In other words, the photo on the right is her result less than 24 hours after surgery. So she’s still swollen in the picture and even with the swelling, you can see clear definition in her abs.

I used Vaser ultrasonic liposuction on this 33-year-old woman to contour the abdomen and hips. About 2300 cc of fat was removed. The results are dramatic with complete flattening of the lower abdomen and significant improvement in muscle definition. (more…)
How soon will my ______ be healed? Fill in the blank with breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, facelift or most any other cosmetic surgery procedure and you get one of the all-time most popular consultation questions.
Here is Schwartz’s rule of thumb for plastic surgery results: (more…)
This 36-year-old wanted her abdomen to look more muscular. She was obviously not overweight; she, in fact, exercised frequently and intensely and wanted her torso to reflect that. She was a perfect candidate for Vaser High Definition Liposuction. I used this advanced technique to thin the abdominal fat layer and sculpt the muscle architecture. This produced the muscular but feminine looking abdomen she was seeking.
It’s never made Merriam-Webster, but other online dictionaries will tell you that a “cankle” is “a thick ankle, particularly one that appears to be a continuation of the calf.” And while the term may be meant to amuse, having cankles is no laughing matter for many women. (more…)
