Smooth Tuck - An Obesity Solution? Being obese is not easy on anybody. It’s bad enough that people would think of an obese person in a negative light, being fat also brings with it a lot of health complications. Cancer, heart ailments, and stroke are just some of the health worries that an obese person lives with daily. It’s only natural that people would turn to dieting. However, the problem of obesity will need more than diet fashions in order for it to go away for good. Many dieters end up discouraged, primarily because they didn’t consider other factors that lead to a successful dieting program. Many even regained about two thirds of their lost pounds before the year ends, and end up even more disenfranchised. In cases like these, some people turn to liposuction and/or tummy tuck surgeries. Liposuction involves surgically removing fat deposits from the body. The by-product of liposuction is usually a hanging, excess skin, which is why a tummy tuck is used to remove the excess skin. The operations are by themselves expensive-add to the fact that one would also require a very long recovery period, as well. Missing all those days of work may sometimes be unacceptable for some people. Furthermore, not everyone people may not be eligible for a tummy tuck, due to the fact that they may not be healthy enough to undergo the operation, or are simply too obese for the operation to work well. There is, however, a recent tummy tuck alternative for overweight patients: the Smooth Tuck. The inventor of the Smooth Tuck, Dr. Matthew Schulman, made the application...
While the fat freezing procedure is actually called CoolSculpting, most people know the technique by the name of the company that patented the process and sells the CoolSculpting device, Zeltiq. CoolSculpting (or simply Zeltiq) is basically synonymous with cryolipolysis. Simply put, cryolipolysis is a process for freezing fat that does not require surgical incisions. While it is often thought of as a form of liposuction, it is better classified as lipolysis, or fat destruction (lipo = fat; lysis = to break apart). Because there are no incisions, Zeltiq is a non-invasive form of weight reduction. Since it is non-surgical, CoolSculpting requires several treatment sessions separated over a period of weeks to months. Understanding CoolSculpting: The Science Behind Fat Freezing CoolSculpting by Zeltiq is a noninvasive procedure in which a medical professional uses the a device to cool unwanted fat. Unwanted fat is firmly pinched between two pads which then apply cooling energy to the area (withdraw heat). The deeply cooled fat cells have one of three fates. The first fate is that the cells die immediately from the cold. The cells burst open and the oily fat is released and absorbed by the body. The second possibility is that the cells become dysfunctional to the point that they will die within a certain period of time after the procedure. The third fate is that the cells are temporarily cooled but return to normal after they warm up. How CoolSculpting (Zeltiq) Works In the first instance, there is immediate fat loss, though this happens to a relatively small amount of fat cells. The second fate is where most weight loss...
We normally see them on TV: skinny girls, and buff, hot guys wearing sexy clothes. These personalities have become role models, influencing other folks to work their ways toward that sexy and desirable body. Some are more traditional, and try out different diet plans and exercises. However, there are still some who won’t be happy with these regular methods of slimming down. An overflowing number of treatments and procedures in the market all promise to deliver quick and fast results, helping the user achieve that dream body. Lipotherme is the newest of these procedures. Lipotherme, What Is That? Lipotherme is a surgical liposuction procedure that basically uses a laser to melt and eliminate unwanted fat in specific body parts. The procedure works around the concept of using heat to promote health and well-being. A laser which delivers controlled heat is used in Lipotherme laser treatment to dissolve unwanted fat deposits, thus reshaping one’s body. Lipotherme laser lipolysis is an advanced version of traditional liposuction. However, it is minimally-invasive as compared to its more traditional counterpart. Since there is virtually no downtime, the patient can immediately return to his or her regular routine after the treatment. Lipotherme laser treatments also smooth out the surface of the skin over the treatment area, thanks to the application of heat during the treatment. Because the laser used in said treatment heats small blood vessels, helping them coagulate faster, bleeding, swelling, and bruising are all minimized. A fiber optic laser is inserted into the patient’s body through a small cut during the procedure. This fiber optic laser is the tool that heats up adipose...
Fat reduction is a regular motivation among cosmetic surgery patients. Liposuction is the process that is comprised of the cosmetic elimination of excess fatty tissues from the body. There are many kinds of liposuction. The surgical elimination of fat is the traditional approach. Less invasive liposuction alternatives exist as well. On the other hand, non-surgical liposuction is the newest alternative in the field. It is known as Lipo-Ex. What Is the Technology of Lipo-Ex? This form of liposuction eliminates body fat faster than other fat reduction procedures. In this treatment, the problematic areas are exposed to radio frequencies with high penetration capacities. The intense energy creates high temperatures within the fat cells themselves and causes the release of their contents. The body’s lymphatic system absorbs the released contents and flushes them out. How Is Lipo-Ex Done? Incisions and injections aren’t requirements during the treatment. Due to the absence of direct skin contact, the need for anesthesia is eliminated. In general, patients experience little to no pain. The usual areas covered by the procedure are the arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. Furthermore, the face and neck can also benefit from Lipo-Ex. How Is Lipo-Ex Different from Other Liposuction Techniques? The uniqueness of Lipo-Ex stems from its entirely non-surgical nature. The absence of surgery makes Lipo-Ex safer than other methods. The risks that usually come with traditional liposuction procedures do not attach themselves to Lipo-Ex. Results from the Lipo-Ex process are also of excellent caliber. Unlike earlier techniques that only cure subcutaneous or surface fat, Lipo-Ex is able to shrink visceral fat cells, which are the fat tissues found in between...
As humans, aging is part of our lives. Because our faces and necks are always exposed for a prolonged period of time, they are the body parts that are very much affected by aging. How people perceive us when it comes to our appearance is a concern. Accordingly, people buy a lot of products that will help them achieve younger faces and bodies. Some may want to undergo cosmetic surgery while others prefer to get non-invasive treatments. The manner in which a person chooses in order to look young depends on his or her preferences or lifestyle. The healing process of cosmetic surgery can take a long time that is why some people do not opt for it. Cosmetic surgeries may sometimes take days and people who have a busy schedule may not be able to make time for it. What Is CoolLipo? CoolLipo is a new procedure that’s a minimally invasive liposuction treatment. The fats from the body are liquefied with CoolLipo, making for its easy removal. CoolLipo is meant to eliminate loose skin in certain body parts. These include the neck, chin and arms. Traditional liposuction and CoolLipo have many differences. The thing that separates CoolLipo from any other traditional liposuction treatment is the inclusion of collagen to make the skin firm. Many advantages come from the treatment of CoolLipo. One is that fat is removed in a less harmful way. Minimal deposits of fat are also given attention with CoolLipo. This is because traditional liposuction is not able to rid the body off these small deposits of fats. As an alternative to face and neck lifts,...
Regardless of gender and age, people can develop fat deposits anywhere in the body. The armpit area is not exempted, especially for women. This creates a problem. Fat deposits in the armpit area can make someone feel extra self conscious when they are wearing sleeveless tops. Some settle on huge t-shirts which only make them look bigger just to avoid it altogether. It can be hard to get rid of armpit fat. At times, the wanted results may not be obtained by just dieting and exercising. Because of this, more individuals chose to undergo surgery just to get rid of their armpit fat pockets. Treatment Options Liposuction is the quickest way to get rid of armpit fat. Lipo for armpits has many benefits. It improves the proportion and appearance of an individual’s arms, and improves his or her body image and increases confidence. During the initial assessment, the patient’s body weight, skin and muscle tone, and fat distribution are evaluated by the surgeon. By doing this, the surgeon is able to determine the necessary changes and the liposuction technique to be used. Liposuction It usually takes around an hour or two to remove armpit fat through liposuction. Tiny incisions are made in the skin, usually near the elbow or the armpit crease. A thin tube, also known as cannula, is inserted by the surgeon into the area. The thin tube is used to break up fat and sculpt the targeted area. A high-pressured vacuum is used to suction out the broken down fat. The process leaves the skin, muscles, nerves and blood vessels free from trauma. The combination of...
Both women and men are worried about their physical appearance. The present fashion trends contribute to this phenomenon. They are also affected by what they see or hear in the media. As a result, many people are turning to cosmetic surgery in order to look and feel better about their physical appearance. One of the solutions to keeping that waistline in check is the Brazilian Tummy Tuck. A combination of abdominoplasty with traditional liposuction, this procedure is meant to give people improved midsections. At the same time, the procedure leaves little room for complications. Who Can Benefit from a Brazilian Tummy Tuck? People who find it hard to enhance their abdominal region are the perfect candidates for a Brazilian Tummy Tuck.

What Happens in the Procedure? As a preparation, people who want to go for a Brazilian Tummy Tuck should be open about their medical histories with their cosmetic surgeon. A Brazilian tummy tuck includes having incisions done...

The Evolution of Liposuction: From SmartLipo to RealLipo The moment liposuction became a trend in the field of cosmetic enhancement, constant improvements have been made to the procedure in order to minimize the risks and side effects associated with it. One example of an innovation in this particular area of cosmetic surgery is the advent of laser-based techniques like SmartLipo. SmartLipo is a non-invasive procedure that melts extra fatty tissues by using a laser. However, many patients have claimed that they did not achieve the desired outcome from laser liposuction. This prompted plastic surgeons and experts alike to come up with a new lipo technique that is more effective. What Is RealLipo and Why Was It Developed? The RealLipo procedure was recently introduced in Louisiana by Dr. Simeon Wall, Jr. This new lipo technique was developed as a correction method for previous liposuction patients who are unhappy with the results of the surgery they received. Due to the wide success of the method, Dr. Wall began to offer it as a standard body contouring process for his patients. How RealLipo Compares to SmartLipo and Traditional Liposuction Unlike SmartLipo, which uses laser heat to melt fat, RealLipo avoids the use of thermal energy altogether. This key difference significantly reduces the risk of tissue burns and uneven skin texture. Traditional liposuction, while effective at removing fat, can sometimes leave behind lumpy or irregular results due to more aggressive suction techniques. RealLipo uses precision tools and a layered approach, preserving a thin layer of fat under the skin for natural-looking contours. Those researching “best liposuction technique for smooth results” or “non-laser liposuction...
