Lipotherapy Fat Reduction Now Available at
Turkle & Associates

We have found that many people have specific areas of fat that do not respond to diet or exercise. Lipotherapy has been developed to dissolve this fat through a series of micro-injections. These injections contain substances that cause the fat to dissolve and be flushed from the body. These injections will only be given by specially trained members of our staff under the direction of Dr. Turkle.

Lipotherapy is best for spot reduction of fat, for example, the love handles, saddlebags, or the back. It is a non-surgical procedure that does not require general anesthesia or down-time. The ideal candidate is a person that is in good health, exercises regularly, is within 25 lbs. of their ideal body weight, and has deposits of fat that have not responded to exercise.

If you would like more information about lipotherapy, please contact our Indianapolis practice today.

Clinical Trials

Cohesive Gel Implant Study

Turkle & Associates is pleased to announce that Dr. Janet K. Turkle is one of a limited number of surgeons in the United States now enrolling patients interested in the Inamed 410 Cohesive Gel Breast Implants.

The FDA has approved enrollment of additional patients in the study over the next six months. The trials are open to patients seeking a first time augmentation, reconstruction and revision.

Eligibility for these implants, sometimes called "gummy bear" implants, can only be determined after an in-person consultation.

Although cohesive implants have been widely used in Europe since 1994, the FDA requires a large-scale study be conducted in the United States before giving these implants final approval.

Instead of being filled with saline or a liquid silicone gel, the 410 cohesive gel breast implants are filled with a cohesive silicone that is described as a "soft solid". Therefore, one of the main advantages of the breast implants is that they seem to retain their shape.

Although this is a study, the usual breast augmentation charges apply. All costs, including the services of the surgeon and the cost of the implants, are the responsibility of the patients participating in the study.

Participation in the study will require patients to return for annual follow-up visits for ten years. Patients will be compensated for their time for each visit. Because of the requirement for annual visits, patients must live in the greater Indianapolis area.

Turkle & Associates provides a variety of saline implants for the patient not interested in considering a cohesive gel implant.
