Dr. Guy Mangia: Comprehensive Dental Examination is a service we provide for all new patients and for our adult patients of record every 2 years. Similar to a complete medical examination with your physician, this examination  process is considered the current Standard of Care with the American Dental Association.  During this examination we are able to document and compare the findings that are significant to your oral health.  Being able to compare these findings at a two year interval allows us to detect changes in your dental health that may be subtle to the human eye, resulting in early detection and correction of oral problems.  Of course, we will continue to provide updated examinations at the time of your  periodontal maintenance visit in between your comprehensive dental evaluations.

Compare VASER Lipo^® and Traditional Liposuction

You have many options when it comes to body contouring. Our physicians — and literally tens of thousands of patients each year — rely on VASER Lipo to safely and efficiently achieve the body they want. We invite you to read their stories, see their results, and hear their words.

On this page, we’ve made it easy to compare treatments at a glance. Still have questions about VASER Lipo? Read our FAQs for answers to the most common questions.

VASER Lipo

VASER^® ultrasound-assisted liposuction uses specially designed probes that deliver ultrasound waves into the fat layer to selectively target and emulsify (liquefy) fat.

Other body tissues like blood vessels and nerves are left intact. A specially designed cannula — a thin tube used to remove liquids — is inserted through a small incision to remove the treated fat.

Pro: Selectively targets only the fatty tissue, encouraging smooth, predictable results and fast recovery.

Con: As a newer technology, VASER Lipo is still being adopted by cosmetic surgeons.

Laser-Assisted Liposuction/Laser Lipolysis

Sold as SmartLipo™, CoolLipo™, LipoLite™, ProLipo™, SlimLipo™ and AccuSculpt™, laser-assisted liposuction uses laser thermal energy to destroy fat cells and cauterize surrounding vessels. The burned tissue is then removed with a traditional suction cannula.

Pro: Destroys fat and cauterizes vessels prior to removal to encourage fast recovery.

Con: Only good for small pockets of fat. Can cause thermal damage to important tissues. Tunneling can leave contour irregularities. Fat cannot be used for fat transfer procedures.

Suction-Assisted Liposuction (Traditional Liposuction)

Suction-assisted liposuction is a traditional liposuction method in which the surgeon inserts a cannula (suction probe) through a small incision. The surgeon pushes and pulls the cannula through the fat layer to break up the fat tissue and a suction pump draws the fatty tissue out of the body.

Pro: Most common form of liposuction performed.

Con: Tears out important tissue structures like nerves, blood vessels and collagen leading to potential “lumpy, bumpy” results and long recovery time.

Power-Assisted Liposuction

A procedure that is similar to suction-assisted liposuction, except that it is performed with a specialized cannula that uses mechanized movements to help break up the fat tissue.

Pro: Fastest form of liposuction.

Con: Tears out important tissue structures like nerves, blood vessels and collagen leading to potential “lumpy, bumpy” results and long recovery time.

PatientFYI Profile: http://patientfyi.com/cosmeticsurgeon/J._Peter-Rubin-cosmeticsurgeon-in-PITTSBURGH-PA-15261-690804

Residence: Fox Chapel

Age: 43

Family: Wife, Julie, and four children

Occupation: Associate professor of plastic surgery, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine; co-director of Pitt’s Adipose Stem Cell Center.

Education: Bachelor’s degree in biology from Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa; medical degree from Tufts University, Medford, Mass.

Background: Rubin is a faculty member in the University of Pittsburgh’s Division of Plastic Surgery and holds a faculty appointment with the McGowan Institute of Regenerative Medicine.

Noteworthy: Rubin is leading a team that received a $1.6 million Department of Defense grant to help wounded soldiers recover from facial injuries using innovative surgical technologies. Fat grafting will be facilitated in this project by using specially designed devices and instruments for harvesting fat tissue and implanting it into regions of scarred tissue.

Quote: “As many as 26 percent of wounded soldiers suffer some kind of facial injury, which can have a huge impact on quality of life. While we can reconstruct bony structures very well, it is the surrounding soft tissues that give people a recognizable face.”

What If A 5-minute Scan Could Save Your Life?

Dr. John Robinson: According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, someone dies from oral cancer every hour of every day in the U.S., and those numbers are increasing every year. Late diagnosis is often the culprit because oral cancer may not be noticeable or painful, and tobacco use is not the only cause. When diagnosed in the early stages of development, oral cancer victims have an 80% to 90% survival rate! With recent publicity surrounding actor Michael Douglas’s diagnosis of stage 4 oral cancer, public awareness of the need for earlier detection of this deadly disease has increased considerably.

If you are a fan of The Dr. OZ Show, last fall you may have seen a segment of the show titled, “A Trip to the Dentist Could Save Your Life.” During the episode, the advantages of a revolutionary new oral cancer screening device known as the VELscope was featured.

Always at the forefront of new technology, Robison Dental Group has been providing our community with the benefit of the VELscope screening system. It’s the only innovative dental device recently recognized by the World Health Organization as addressing global health concerns. In less than five minutes, a non-evasive and painless VELscope examination can be completed to identify precancerous lesions which are not visible to the naked eye.

At Robison Dental Group, we feel strongly about the advantages this technology offers and want to encourage you to get examined during Oral Cancer Awareness Month. That’s why during the months of April and May we are offering this potentially lifesaving scan for only $10!

Call us today to schedule a screening at 734.453.6320 or 888.66.SMILE!!
