Montco Doctor Performs 6,000th Liposuction

That's quite a few surgeries.

LANSDALE, PA -- One Lansdale doctor has reached an impressive milestone.

Dr. Thomas E. Young, Owner and Medical Director of Young Medical Spa, recently performed his 6000th ”SmartLipo” procedure in Pennsylvania, according to a press release.

Young began performing SmartLipo in 2008, and has since gained a reputation for delivering noticeable fat-loss results with minimal downtime to patients in the Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and Lehigh Valley regions as well as the Lansdale, King of Prussia and Philadelphia area.

SmartLipo Triplex is, according to Young, a “revolutionary” laser-assisted liposuction technique that is less invasive than traditional liposuction methods, yet delivers improved fat reduction results.

During SmartLipo treatments, laser energy liquefies unwanted and stubborn fat around the abdomen, waist, love handles, neck, arms, thighs, back and bra fat.

After the excess fat cells are ruptured during this intermediate step, Young removes the fat for permanent results via a small cannula inserted under the skin.

This method is less traumatic for patients, Young says, than traditional liposuction, and allows the patient to see impressive results with less bruising and swelling than traditional liposuction techniques.

Since the diet and exercise resistant fat is removed via SmartLipo, Young says that he can provide long-lasting results that help patients appear thinner and slimmer.
