The patient’s story
This woman in her mid forties traveled from Trinidad to seek treatment for paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, or PAH, after CoolSculpting. Her concerns involved excess fullness around the abdomen and waist.
Dr. Darren Smith performed VASER-assisted liposuction with BodyTite in those areas. The treatment focused on the affected tissue and her goal of improving the contour of her midsection.
