OrthoSculpt extracts fat around muscular anatomy to create a more natural apperance, resembing an athlete, according to a Nov. 30 news release from Dr. Cyr’s practice. He developed the idea while working as a spine surgeon when he realized the potential for abdominoplasty and liposuction to address conditions affecting the back.

The procedure uses VASER ultrasound-assisted HD liposculpture and can reduce bruising. It preserves fat cells’ integrity, allowing surgeons to remove it safely compared to traditional laser methods.

Dr. Cyr has used OrthoSculpt since February. He has more than 20 years of experience as a spine surgeon.

 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
