North-Central New Jersey Liposuction & Abdominoplasty

For those of us seeking the ideal body, diet and exercise can do wonders. Body contouring picks up where diet and exercise leave off. Often, certain areas of the body where fat collects are resistant to lifestyle improvements. For example, a sagging midsection may not always be remedied through non-surgical means. At Dr. Peter Hetzler's office, CoolSculpting, liposuction, and tummy tuck are designed to correct the imperfections that cannot be corrected through diet and exercise alone.

CoolSculpting® by ZELTIQ® in Little Silver

CoolSculpting by ZELTIQ is a new, FDA-cleared procedure that is an alternative to liposuction for people who have a small amount of diet- and exercise-resistant fat. CoolSculpting is a totally non-invasive, in-office procedure that uses Cryolipolysis to target, freeze, and eliminate fat cells. Treatment with CoolSculpting takes 1-3 hours and has little to no downtime.

CoolSculpting is not a replacement for liposuction or other surgical fat reducing procedures. Studies indicate that the typical amount of fat lost through CoolSculpting in a given area is about 20-25% percent per area treated. CoolSculpting is best for those who are already close to their ideal body weight but have small isolated areas of fat such as "love handles" or "muffin top" that they cannot lose through diet and exercise. Results with CoolSculpting take about 2-4 months to be fully realized. The results will not be as dramatic as with liposuction.

Abdominoplasty in New Jersey

The best candidates for tummy tuck are patients who have loose or excess skin around the midsection that doesn't respond to diet or exercise. The sagging is usually caused by some combination of excess skin, weakened abdominal muscles, and excess fat in the abdomen. Abdominoplasty is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, tighten the abdominal muscles, and create a smoother body contour.

A tummy tuck at Dr Hetzler's New Jersey practice is customized and adapted to each patient's individual needs, but, in general, the procedure begins with an incision along the lower abdomen. The abdominal muscles are tightened to create a narrower waistline and flatter midsection.

Tumescent Liposuction

Dr. Peter Hetzler performs tumescent liposuction for those seeking to rid themselves of stubborn fat deposits. Tumescent liposuction has been a popular procedure for many years now. It has maintained its popularity because it is an extremely effective treatment that is quite safe when performed by an experienced surgeon.

Anyone who has ever exercised knows that certain parts of the body are not as apt to shed fat as others. For many, certain areas just do not respond to exercise. Liposuction is not an obesity treatment, but it is extremely effective at getting rid of stubborn, unwanted fat deposits in the thighs, abdomen, buttocks, and other areas of the body.

As with any procedure, every patient is unique, and recovery times can vary. This, as well as many other details of your prospective treatment, will be discussed in depth with Dr. Hetzler during the consultation. Dr. Hetzler's intimate practice and attentive staff are well equipped to give you the most personalized attention possible.
