Magic Wand Recently seen on the Dr. Oz show, Cynosure’s Precision Tx may well be an important new delivery system for SmartLipo TriPlex and Cellulaze. It is smaller, which allows surgeons to better address the neck, jowls, knees, and underarms (for sweating). It uses the same laser wavelength as Cellulaze, but the fiber is smaller to deliver less energy more precisely. For more information, visit: marketing.cynosure.com/WB-CC0444_PrecisionTx.html. |

Excitement about EXPAREL There was lots of buzz about EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) at the Hot Topics session of The Aesthetic Meeting 2013, the annual meeting of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) in New York City. This injectable pain killer is already approved by the FDA, and now there is some real hard data to support its safety and efficacy after dual abdominoplasty and breast reduction or augmentation. According to the study, patients who received injections of EXPAREL reported low pain scores in the 3 days postop, used 1/3 fewer narcotics for pain control, and had a high satisfaction with pain management. Fewer opioids means fewer side effects such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, and dependence. The only potential downside of the new pain treatment? Cost.
