Why is it that everyone seems to be so concerned with fat reduction? Are we a vain society or is that we have to keep up with everyone else? What came first, the chicken or the egg?
People will do almost anything to lose weight. From fat burners to energy drinks, crazy fad diets, insane exercise routines and surgeries. To answer the demand surgeons are always coming up with new ways to address the problem of fat in our society. Laser liposuction is a new form of liposuction that at least makes it safer to reduce fat with surgery. Always research any type of surgery you are considering and get in depth information on the surgery and how it works for certain areas of the body. In this case, research featured doctors who are excellent at laser liposuction.
It all started in the 80's when the fitness craze his the general public and has been going strong ever since. People flocked to gyms to sculpt their bodies into the shape they desired. Hour long sessions in aerobics classes or on stairmasters and treadmills resulted in fat loss to expose muscles underneath. Muscles were shaped and contoured with weight lifting and isometrics. All of this was great and people were able to attain their desired result. But there was a hardly a person to be found that was not unhappy with at least one body part. A body part that was unresponsive to all their efforts and that still persisted no matter how much they dieted or worked out.
For men it might be their belly fat preventing them from that six pack they so wanted or for women their buttocks and thighs never seemed small enough or toned enough. There were those who considered plastic surgery but it was a little drastic to just remove small amounts of stubborn fat. Traditional liposuction had a lot complications that countered the benefits to the looks-conscious society who didn't want bruising, scars and lots off down time. That is where laser liposuction came in to the picture.
Laser liposuction is gentle, leaves no visible scars, is bruise and blood free and there is very little to no down time. Laser liposuction is performed with a local anesthetic to numb the area to be treated. A small hollowed out needle with a laser tip is inserted in to a tiny incision where the laser melts the fat to liquid and the needle suctions it out. The size of the needle, called a cannula, is about the size of a piece of spaghetti, leaving a tiny incision mark that does not require stitches and blends into the skin color in about 2 weeks. The lidocaine in the numbing agent acts to restrict blood vessels resulting in little to no blood loss and the gentle movement of the cannula prevents bruising.
Down time with laser liposuction is minimal requiring on 2 days of light to moderate activity then regular activity may resume. The procedure itself takes only about an hour per treated area and patients walk unassisted out of the hospital within just three hours of surgery. If you have small amounts of stubborn body fat to lose, in the area of 10 to 15 pounds laser liposuction may be right for you. Do your own research and get information on the procedure and physicians who perform the surgery.
