ORLANDO,FL -- Kathryn Nantz is happy to show off all her old clothes.
"These are the before pants."
She went from a size 16 to an 8, thanks to diet, exercise and liposuction.
"It’s just the best thing I ever did for myself."
Kathryn had Aqua Lipo. It's what Candie Coulter will have.
"I’m here to get rid of what I call my baby pooch."
Doctor Roger Bassin makes two small incisions in Candie's sides and numbs the area, all while she's awake. He uses this instrument to spray water into her abdomen.
"With traditional liposuction, the stuff everyone sees on TV with the doctor literally going back and forth, what you're doing is making mashed potatoes out of somebody."
Instead of using harsh motions to dislodge fat, the water gently breaks it up.
"The way I can describe it is almost like playing the violin, very gentle."
The instrument sucks out the fat. Doctor Bassin uses a laser to tighten skin and melt away leftover fat.
With this new procedure, there's less bruising, swelling and trauma to the nerves, muscles and skin. It costs about $3000, which is less than standard lipo because patients don't require general anesthesia.
"The patient's going to drive themselves to the office, get the procedure done, drive themselves home, go back to work that day or the next day."
Candie's happy with her results.
The lipo helped Kathryn accomplish something she couldn't on her own. Results that earned her a whole new wardrobe!
