New York MagazineOctober 2003Gerald Pitman Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital "Gerald Pitman literally wrote the book on liposuction; it's called Liposuction & Aesthetic Surgery. These days, he's combining liposuction of love handles and facial work in one sitting. He does what he calls the "mini-maxi lift," which is short for "minimal incision, maximum result." It invovles a small incision but pulls the underlying fat and muscle along with the skin as a single unit. The combined operations can be done under local anesthesia, take about three hours, and require only one recovery period." |
