Body aesthetic procedures are continually improving, thanks to the development of innovative medical technologies that can minimize scarring and speed recovery times. Dr. Joseph Gryskiewicz explains how one new innovation, in particular, can benefit patients seeking a body lift or other body contouring surgeries.

Dr. Gryskiewicz also describes the technology behind a revolutionary microchip that can detect leaks in silicone implants. The device, although still experimental, promises to offer a less expensive alternative to MRIs, which are recommended every two years for women with silicone breast implants beginning three years after their breast augmentation procedure.
