Call for a Consultation
Schedule A Consultation
Lake Oswego, OR 97035
During your scheduled consultation, you will have the opportunity to speak with both a Wellness Consultant and a Medical Provider who will address your expectations and assess the specific areas of your body that you wish to treat. The Medical Provider will also evaluate your medical history to determine your suitability for the procedure. To provide you with a better understanding of the expected outcome, we will present you with before and after photos of patients who have undergone the same procedure, showcasing the Physician’s techniques. Lastly, during the consultation, we will review the quote and go over any financing options available to you.
Once this is completed, all of your payments will be processed if you are a candidate and you are interested in moving forward. You will be scheduled for your history and physical to be done before your scheduled procedure. Our practice has taken additional measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, and all our patients will be screened for antibodies IGG and IGM. This measures whether you’ve previously been exposed to/contracted COVID or if you have current active antibodies. This is the first part of your history and physical, we will come out to your car with a quick and easy finger poke, and we wait 15 minutes to get the results. Once confirmed negative, we will bring you into our clinic for the remaining history and physical. All patients will also be screened for any COVID symptoms the day before an appointment. We will also take yours before photos that will be put into your medical chart. You will also meet with the physician in person to physically assess you further.
Our medical assistant or nurse doing your history and physical will go over all aspects of the procedure, including aftercare. A few days before your procedure, you will receive a call going over your before care instructions and answering any last-minute questions you may have. We can’t wait to see your results!
Once this is completed, if you are a candidate and you are interested in moving forward, all of your financial paperwork will be processed. Then you will come to the office, and your blood work and EKG will be completed for the physician to review before your history and physical. Your before photos will be taken for your clinical chart records, and your appointment will be scheduled. Then before the procedure, a physician or nurse practitioner will perform a complete history and physical. If at that time it is determined that you are not a candidate, you will receive a full refund and will not be charged for the blood work, EKG, or history and physical.

Are you looking for liposuction in Portland? Need liposuction prices? You’ve come to the right spot. Aesthetic Medicine has performed Liposuction in Portland on over 15,000 patients since 1995. Today, Dr. Darm and his team perform his perfected method, a safer and more effective form of liposuction called LipoLift™, a laser-assisted liposuction procedure (laser lipolysis) that removes fat from the body.
This minimally invasive surgical procedure is a popular body sculpting solution that “melts” fat with less pain, less downtime, and consistently favorable results. The laser is inserted through a tiny incision in the skin and passed back and forth, slowly dissolving fat and fat cells. The liquified fat is then gently removed through a micro-cannula. In one session, one to four liters of fat can be removed! Treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks (love handles), bra bulge, inner and outer thighs, arms, axillary (armpits), beneath the bottom (banana roll), and chin/neck.
Unlike some national providers, you’ll always meet with a medical provider during your consultation, at your scheduled history and physical, and before your procedure. We’ll perform a complete medical history and physical (H&P), Electrocardiogram (ECG), and blood workup to ensure that you’re healthy enough for the procedure. Your health and safety are our top priority, and by completing an H&P and medical assessment, we can make sure this procedure is correct for you. To ensure patient satisfaction, following your procedure, you will have follow-up appointments to make sure you are healing well and review your results.
Each patient must do their due diligence and research before undergoing any procedure. We will educate you on the many options you have, review your expectations for results, and guide you through your aesthetic journey.
Liposuction, also known as Lipoplasty, is most commonly used in minimally invasive surgical procedures to remove excess fat, body sculpting, and contouring. Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed and grows.
At Aesthetic Medicine, we utilize what is known as Laser-Assisted Liposuction or LAL. This procedure is a laser device that gently melts the fat, the laser tightens the skin, and a mechanical/clinical vacuum device is used to suction out the fat. This technique is favorable because it is gentle, thus causing less downtime and faster recovery. Local and oral anesthesia is used for this procedure. The local infiltration with lidocaine anesthesia is used to numb the area being treated while the patient is awake. An oral anesthetic, such as Xanax, is prescribed and taken before the procedure. This oral sedative is optional.
The specific device we use for Laser Lipolysis is the SlimLipo laser by Palomar, which we believe to be a superior device for many reasons given our experience. The incisions are tiny, about the size of a cocktail straw, do not require suturing, and heal without significant scarring.
This procedure is relatively benign, quick, and effective at eliminating unwanted subcutaneous fat. Typically only one day is required to recover. A compression garment is then worn for three weeks to maximize results, and Spanx are recommended for a few months after. People have different kinds of fat, and understanding the different types will help you set and manage your expectations for expected results.
Regardless of the method, any lipo procedure can only address subcutaneous fat.

Subcutaneous Fat is the jiggly fat visible underneath the skin.
Visceral fat is fat that surrounds the organs. This is not visible from the outside.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
