GOOD DAY COLORADO

Title: VASER ® Hi-Def Liposuction
Length: 6 minutes 44 seconds

Well, it's about time for it. Traditional liposuction can be capable and have you down to weeks recovering but there's a relatively new process called VASER where the patient can actually be standing and awake if you can believe that. It's been featured on several news programs and a doctor right here in Denver is one of the leading surgeons practicing this technique. We'll tell you more about it now. We edited this down so the shots won't be bad. I keep performing this procedure with the patient awake. This is an awake lipo procedure. We can use drugs to make the patient comfortable enough to be awake and move herself to the table with very little help. This is the VASER ultrasound. It's been tuned to only melt fat, leaving everything else intact. The tip of the probe is doing the work for me so I dont have to rip it. Our end point is when the resistance is gone. Essentially. Wow. Thats how that works. Welcome, doctors, plastic surgeons. This is amazing. Doctor, why is it youre able to stay awake during something like this? We have current types of anesthesia that allows this, one, an epidural. The other uses a fluid with lidocaine similar to what youd use at a dentist but we use it in a much bigger way. Now, doctor, whos a good candidate for this? Did liposuction smooth you out as well as people say it does? There are a number of candidates. Traditionally we thought it would be for the overweight but now were seeing candidates of normal weight that cant in the gym get the nice, athletic look. Those are the candidates today were doing this VASER high definition liposuction. I know doctors have said this will never be the magic pill where I'm 20 pounds overweight and I want the flat stomach so I'll get liposuction. Well, this should be considered an adjunct to a physical fitness regimen, trouble areas, love handles. That just won't go away. Right. And there are risks with this. What are they? Like any other surgery, you have to approach this as a surgical procedure with inherent risks and benefits, which are pretty minimal. The patients that come to us, their goals outweigh the risks in most cases. Doctor, who tends to do better with this? I think the biggest thing is is that patient healthy, can they undergo a medical procedure and come out on the other side healthy again. I operate on both men and women, early to mid teens and also with VASER high def people in their 60s. If you could show some pictures to us that would be fantastic. A lot of people say that theres a certain part of your body that responds better to lipo. Is it the thighs? Stomach? You know what? We can do any part of the body, arms, breasts, legs, waistline. This is a before and after. I'm gonna guess that as we zoom in that her stomach was done or her hips, waist. Yes, right, hips, waist, flanks, abdomen. Is it before on this side? I hope so, yes. Looks like she didnt need to have anything done, my goodness, but you can tell shes flatter, more slender through the waist here and you can see her abs. Correct. I know a couple of people who had the abs done. Is that something that is the new rave or what? Absolutely. I think this is the newest and latest and greatest in liposuction. This allows patients that would not have been traditional patients, the thinner patients, once they go to the gym, to achieve their goals. There are a lot of patients out there who are not heavy who would benefit from VASER Hi Def. The gentleman here, what, did he have his abs done? His abs and flanks done. You can tell, gosh, that is amazing work. Is there ever a situation where insurance would pay for something like this? Typically not, no. Thank you, who would have thought, staying awake during liposuction surgery. Doctors, thank you for coming and if you want to know more, go to MyFoxColorado.com, look for the as seen on tab under good day to learn more. Much more still to come on "Good Day Colorado."

NIGHTLINE WITH CYNTHIA MCFADDEN

Title: VASER ® Hi-Def Liposuction
Length: 4 minutes 17 seconds

Sometimes no matter how much someone diets and exercises, achieving sculpted six-pack abdominal muscle seems like a far-fetched dream; now there is VASER® high definition liposculpture. To learn more about this revolutionary new procedure, Nightline focused on one of the technique's pioneers: Dr. John Millard.

Dr. Millard is the first surgeon in the United States to perform the VASER® Hi Def technique, and he performs it at his practice in Denver, Colorado, at the Millard Plastic Surgery Center.

VASER® Hi Def is a new procedure which goes beyond the limitations of traditional liposuction. In the past, liposuction could only get rid of localized excess fat. With VASER® Hi Def, Dr. Millard is not only able to get rid of excess fat, he also can sculpt the remaining fat, creating a toned and muscular appearance. For the abdominal region, this means attaining the long-awaited "six-pack."

Good candidates for VASER® Hi Def should be in excellent physical health, and on a regular diet and exercise plan. To learn more, browse through Dr. Millard's Web site where he discusses the technique in depth. Or, schedule a consultation today!

NBC TODAY SHOW

Title: VASER ® Hi Def Liposculpture
Length: 6 minutes 20 seconds

This Today Show segment tells the story of two of Dr. Millard's patients. John Sodini is a fourty-six year old who exercised regularly, but who found it harder to and harder to keep from gaining weight. John felt that he was losing the diet-exercise battle, despite his best efforts.

Twenty-eight year old Valerie Warren was tired of waking up every morning and seeing the same stubborn belly fat she'd carried with her for much of her life. Her goal was to be able to put on a new pair of jeans without sucking in her stomach.

Both patients received a VASER® Hi Def liposculpture in order to sculpt their flabby stomach into a toned set of abdominal muscles. At the end of the "Today Show" segment, both John and Valerie proudly show off their new curves, and explain how the VASER® procedure has changed not just their body, but their body image.

NEWS REPORT ON NEWS 2

Title: Colorado Breast Enhancement
Length: 2 minutes 30 seconds

Silicone breast implants have been off the market for 14 years; just recently, the FDA has approved them for renewed use. Dr. Millard provides News 2 with an inside look on the use of silicone implants for breast augmentation surgeries.

Testing has shown that silicone does not cause any diseases, allaying patient fears about the suitability of silicone. If the implant were to rupture, the memory gel that the implant is made of remains cohesive, preventing any leaks. Additionally, many patients prefer silicone implants for their natural look and feel.

FOX NEWS WITH DR. JOHN TORRES

Title: Denver Breast Augmentation
Length: 6 minutes 58 seconds

This Fox News segment takes a closer look at silicone breast implants, interviewing Dr. Millard to get his professional medical advice on what prospective patients should know. Silicone implants have been off the market for 14 years, during which time they were rigorously studied and tested. Silicone implants are now recommended for women who are over 22 years old and seeking breast augmentation.

Silicone implants have several benefits over saline implants; silicone looks more natural, feels more natural, and has a smoother texture. Even if the silicone implant ruptures, the memory gel inside the implant will stay in place.

Of course, with any medical device placed inside the body, there is always the possibility that the implant may eventually need to be replaced. Dr. Millard recommends that an implant patient have a one, three, and 10 year follow up, as well as an MRI every two to three years.
