There really isn't much to love about love handles, yet as we age we all seem to get them. Fat that accumulates around the top of the hip bones on the sides and back can make you look thick. Hiding it with baggy clothes, only makes you look bigger.
Methods such as fat burners, fat creams, antioxidants, dieting, exercise can all be great ways to reduce love handles. For more drastic measures, some are considering surgery. Laser assisted liposuction can be a great alternative. But always use surgery as a last resort and research your options.
While laser liposuction can be done in an hour it is still surgery and still carries a risk. Laser Liposuction though is a great alternative to traditional liposuction, where a laser and small suctioning cannula is used to remove fat from specific areas.
Love handles are removed by inserting a tiny cannula into a tiny incision. A laser gently heats the skin and the underlying fat, melting into liquid form while the cannula suctions it out of the body.
Laser liposuction tightens and firm the skin in that treated area, retracting the skin taut over the treated area. Bruising is minimal, since no big move movements, such as in traditional liposuction, is used.. The whole procedure takes roughly an hour. Patients are able to walk unassisted out of the hospital in about three hours following surgery and most patients can resume normal activities in less than two days. Because recovery is so quick and easy, most patients will prefer laser liposuction instead of traditional methods. Fat cells are removed from the body permanently and will never come back to that area, therefore producing a sleek waistline.
Laser liposuction is a great choice for patients with excess fat on their sides who are in good health. Laser liposuction has little down time following surgery with little to no side effects. Minimal bruising, blood loss and pain are experienced by most patients. Those who have had a weight loss of 100 or more pounds either through traditional weight loss methods or through gastric bypass surgery, may require more surgery to remove excess skin.
The patient who undergoes laser liposuction wears a compression garment around the waist, for three consecutive days and then eight hours per day for two weeks. Results are visible in about three to four weeks. Laser liposuction patients experience only mild aching similar to a muscle ache from a workout and some swelling. Laser liposuction does not replace a good exercise routine and a healthy diet. Losing fat is not the only thing that shapes a body. Having a solid, and curvy muscle base produces even greater results.
