What type of surgeon is Dr. Bittner?
Dr. Bittner is a minimally invasive surgeon, called an Interventionalist, and he is board certified through the American Board of Medical Specialties via the American Board of Radiology. Dr. Bittner's speciality is different than "regular radiology" in that he is surgically trained, not just simply trained to read x-rays or other images. Minimally invasive surgeries, including Liposculpture, are those that use tiny skin punctures and small instruments, often with the patient awake. Dr. Bittner's training originally focused on minimally invasive heart surgeries and breast cancer surgeries. Because he always had a passion for asthetics, liposculpture is currently the only procedure Dr. Bittner performs and he only uses a minimally invasive technique.
