SMARTLIPO MPX
Early in 2007, we were the first one in the state of New Jersey to obtain the SmartLipo laser from Cynosure.
As of this today, we probably have the largest series of patients treated with this technique in the state of New Jersey. Most of you already know it was designed for small areas and many patients with larger areas or a large amount of loose skin had to be denied treatment with the laser. Over the past 1 ½ years we had several upgrades to our SmartLipo machine and the results continued to improve.
We are delighted to announce that we are one of the 1st – 10 Plastic Surgeons in the United States to obtain this entirely new technology from Cynosure – the SmartLipo MPX. This is a quantum leap beyond the original technology. It is not an upgrade, but an entirely new machine. It offers a 2nd wavelength which is blended with the original wavelength and dramatically increases our ability to shrink skin. We now feel confident in treating many of the patients we previously rejected because of skin laxity. We can also treat much larger areas then we could in the past. Many areas can now be treated with this machine and may be done under local anesthesia.

It seems like only yesterday that we were the first to introduce SmartLipo in New Jersey but it has been a year and a half. SmartLipo has completely changed the way we think about liposuction. At this point, we probably have the largest series of treated patients in the state, and this technology has become an integral part of all of our liposuction procedures. In some patients we use SmartLipo exclusively. Occasionally, the areas concerned are too large, and I suggest the standard liposuction technique also.
We have been asked by the manufacturer of SmartLipo to be a national teaching center for other doctors to learn how to use this laser. Liposuction has always been a wonderful procedure and the SmartLipo has added a significant advantage with a speedier recovery, and increased skin shrinkage.
For those considering the use of the SmartLipo, also please look at ACCENT. This is a dramatic new radio frequency-based technology for skin shrinkage and fat reduction for small areas only. In some patients the results have been dramatic. For patients who can afford to combine both the Smart Lipo and Accent the results can be beyond anything we could imagine only a few years ago.

Baxt CosMedical was the first to offer, in the state of New Jersey, the FDA approved laser assisted liposuction device, SmartLipo. We have established ourselves as the leader in the field of laser assisted liposuction. Utilizing the SmartLipo technology from Cynosure, Baxt CosMedical has become one of the teaching centers for doctors who are being trained in this new technology.
The SmartLipo technology has revolutionized the method of fat remodeling and fat removal. The first generation of SmartLipo equipment was limited to small areas. Baxt CosMedical is pleased to announce that we are one of a few practices that is introducing the next generation of SmartLipo technology – 10 Watt. The 10 Watt model of SmartLipo technology allows us to use it for fat remodeling and fat removal on larger areas of the body.
Baxt CosMedical has made a commitment to our patients to offer only the very best in training, technology and service to them.

February 2007
We are pleased to announce that Sherwood Baxt, MD just had his article “Liposuction Breast Reduction: a Prospective Trial in African American Women” published in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal, February 2007. Dr. Baxt has been one of the pioneers performing this surgery and has performed this surgery on over 600 Patients.
Press Release:
LIPOSUCTION HELPS SOME AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN AVOID UNSIGHTLY BREAST REDUCTION SCARS, ASPS STUDY FINDS
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Some African American women may choose not to have breast reduction surgery because of the scars darker skinned patients are prone to develop. Instead, these women live with the daily pain and physical restraint caused by overly large breasts. According to a study in February’s Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), liposuction breast reduction may offer African American women a scarless alternative to traditional breast reduction.
“African American women, like all women, want relief from the physical ailments associated with overly large breasts; the difference being that darker skin is prone to more adverse scarring,” said Sherwood Baxt, MD, ASPS Member Surgeon and study author. “Through this less invasive procedure, patients’ experienced high satisfaction, a decrease or elimination of physical symptoms, and an increase self-esteem and quality-of-life. However, liposuction reduction is not appropriate for women whose primary concern is to lift overly large, sagging breasts.”
The study examined 17 African American women whose primary complaint was weight-related, i.e., to relieve physical symptoms associated with overly large breasts – as opposed to lifting the breast. All 17 women underwent liposuction breast reduction. Prior to the procedure, all patients attempted non-surgical therapies such as physical therapy, strengthening exercises, and chiropractic care to relieve their symptoms.
Patients were studied up to six months after the procedure and all experienced alleviation or significant relief in neck, back and shoulder pain and postural imbalances. Patients’ quality-of-life significantly improved, as did their self-esteem, overall health and well-being.
A drawback of liposuction breast reduction is that it does not significantly lift sagging breasts, unlike traditional breast reduction. In addition, liposuction breast reduction is only effective at removing fat, and not gland tissue. The procedure is ineffective for patients whose breasts are primarily glandular. In some cases, patients’ breasts cannot be reduced as much as traditional breast reduction surgery.
“Be aware this procedure is a compromise,” said Walter Erhardt, MD, ASPS Public Education Committee Chair. “Traditional breast reduction is still the gold standard – offering patients the trifecta of volume reduction, relief of physical symptoms, and lift. Women should discuss options and expectations thoroughly with their plastic surgeon. Those considering the procedure should know that while physical ailments and scarring can be improved, there are limitations to the amount of reduction and no lift will occur.”
Nearly 769,000 African Americans had cosmetic plastic surgery in 2005, according to ASPS statistics. African Americans made up eight percent of the more than 10.2 million cosmetic procedures performed in 2005. The most commonly requested surgical procedures for African Americans were nose reshaping, breast reduction and liposuction.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) is the largest organization of board-certified plastic surgeons in the world. With more than 6,000 members, the Society is recognized as a leading authority and information source on cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. ASPS comprises more than 90 percent of all board-certified plastic surgeons in the United States. Founded in 1931, the Society represents physicians certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery or The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
