Laser Liposuction Financing Offer

LipoLift is the trademarked name of Dr. Darm's signature laser-assisted liposuction procedure (laser lipolysis) that permanently removes fat from the body. This minimally invasive surgical procedure is a popular body sculpting solution that “melts” fat with less pain, less downtime, and consistently favorable results. The laser is slipped through a very small hole in the skin and passed back and forth slowly dissolving fat and fat cells. The melted fat is then gently sucked out through a small cannula. One to two liters of fat can be removed during the procedure. Treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, arms, neck, and thighs. The laser helps to tighten the skin as much as 17% opposed to traditional liposuction techniques.

Unlike some national providers, you'll always meet with the doctor that will perform your procedure several days before your surgery. We'll also perform a full medical history and physical (H&P), Electrocardiogram (ECG), and blood workup to ensure that you're a good candidate for the procedure. Once the procedure is completed, your physician will schedule follow-up appointments to review your results.

At Aesthetic Medicine, we're a team of 30+ medical professionals specializing in a wide variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to improve the beauty and wellness of every patient we treat. From board-certified Plastic Surgery to medically-supervised weight loss, we have the knowledge and experience to help our patients achieve wellness, health and beauty.
Founded by Dr. Jerry Darm in 1995, Aesthetic Medicine originally specialized in weight loss and skin treatments. Today the practice has grown to encompass a variety of services that include laser liposuction (LipoLift), Plastic Surgery, and a host of other procedures designed to improve the appearance and defy the aging process.

Unlike other practices, at Aesthetic Medicine our experience isn't limited to a handful of specialties. Thanks to our large staff and depth of experience, we're able to offer our patients a wide-variety of invasive and non-invasive options that other clinics simply don't (or can't) offer. This means that our patients can entertain a variety of options before deciding on the treatment best-suited for their needs. Our goal is to help every patient get the look they want and gain the confidence that comes from an improved appearance.

We invite you to come to take a tour of our federally accredited medical facility in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Once you meet with our Physicians and support staff, you'll soon discover why we've become the most successful and best-known aesthetic practice in Oregon!

The Benefits of Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty is the removal of loose, excess skin and fat of the lower abdomen. The "tummy tuck” is frequently performed after the completion of pregnancies. Following childbirth, the stretched skin and muscle rarely returns completely back to normal. Skin may hang, abdominal muscles may be slack and provide less back support, and neither can be improved by exercise. Stretch marks are permanent (creams and/or lasers have yet to be proven as reliable treatment), and are removed, only when the skin is excised. Other patients, who have excess skin as the result from weight-loss surgery, or diet and exercise, can benefit from removing the “apron of skin.

There are many benefits of tummy tuck surgery, especially for certain types of individuals, including:

• Removal of excess abdominal skin as a result of major weight loss. Large folds of excess skin are not only unsightly but can also lead to fungal infection. 

• Elimination of stretch marks by either removal of the affected skin or the tightening of skin. 

• Creation of a flatter, tighter, more contoured abdomen and narrower waist. This is especially helpful for women whose stomach muscles have changed after pregnancy or individuals who have drooping or sagging skin after weight loss, aging or pregnancy. 

• Increased self confidence that comes with the enhanced abdominal shape. 

• Lasting results if the patient follows a healthy lifestyle. 

• Removal of belly fat cells to keep your internal organs functioning properly without added toxins, pressure and fatty acids
